Random ramblings

I've just ordered 4 new computers, due to serious failures in a few classes, and had an idea.

The new computers are licenced for Windows 7 Home Premium [SP1], but will actually be running Windows XP.


My idea was... rejiggle the licences around [Put the licence for the old machine on the new one] and then there'd be some decent Win7 lincences going spare. [which I may or may not have planned to aquire...]


Turns out, you can't do that. ...

Not a rant... More "omg my boss is awesome!" I just felt like sharing.

The following is an ACTUAL e-mail chain sent between the head and myself. [It's also backwards. Most recent at the top.]

Hey look. A blog post that isn't Project Borg related.

It's pony related. [Among other things] [[censored] ponies... how do they work?]

I'm sitting around herping, derping and generally searching things on the interweb when our Head of Math asks me about my desktop wallpaper.

So far, it's been described as bambi, "that white guy with blue hair and the dog in the collar"[?]... no-one had actually asked what it was.

So I told him. ...

3 blog posts in as many days... 2 in one day? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!

Neg rep because you dislike Reddit?

Or you're one of THOSE 4channers who think Reddit is the cancer of the internet?

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a reaction image if worth at least 500 emotions.

Just because something is from reddit/tumblr/4chan/wherever ...

I can't believe I just spent over half an hour changing my desktop wallpaper...

I had the wallpaper on a USB... It just wouldn't display properly.

Set it to "tiled", works fine.
"Center"... Still good.

Stretch? nope.

The colour borks and it becomes worthless.

This is what the wallpaper looks like, for those that are interested.

[NOTE - not the actual one that borked. This one borks ...

1 day to go of work and I'm starting to drift into the random daydreams that make people believe I'm lazy...

I'm actually surprised it's started so late, though that may be because I've been focused on sorting out our sound and flash problems. [They're still not fully sorted out... mearly "close enough"] ...
