I'm about to throw my effing laptop across the room if wordpress doesn't let me start customizing my damn website template. Argh!
Isn't this a Wordpress issue, and not a laptop one?
Yeah, but she cant physically throw wordpress. The laptop is the closest accomplice.
She could print the source, put everything on a pile and burn it down. Probably the best idea anyway regarding WP.
On my way to find the damn matches. That might make me feel better.
I can assure you, after 20 years in IT: Swearing and cursing actually helps a lot. Physical force is even better
So just to be clear, you meant to set my laptop on fire, correct?

Office punching bag. Preferably not a human being, but sometimes you need to use what you have

You'll need more than matches for that...

Actually... no. I thought more about printing out the source code of WP and burn down the stack of paper

I'm looking at on the desk sitting/standing desks - damn, the keyboard tray on all of them is tiny! It's like they expect you to use a roller mouse or a mouse pad.
Personally, not sure I could use one that didn't give me nearly the whole surface of my desk.
while I might be able to tolerate it while standing, when sitting being confined to that tiny mouse space would drive me insane!
-
@thwr Oh darn. @scottalanmiller umm, you know where a fire extinguisher is in this house, right?
-
@Dashrender I know I've seen some where it's just a table that can go up and down. Seems like that would be better than anything with a keyboard tray. Do people still use keyboard trays?

Scott: "Honey, I'm home. What are you cooking? Smells great!"
Dominica: "Li-Ion soup?" -

Do you have a link?
I need something that sits on top of my current desk - my concern about any solution that sits on my desk is that the scissor device will raise the whole desktop at least 3 inches. While I might be able to get away with that, raise my chair 3 inches, many people won't.

haha... robocopy script was copying from a share that was way bigger than it's target (I messed up).
Comparing the source and the target, nothing matches.... Look at the script.. whoops! /purge on that robocopy script...

Robocopy: destroying your data since 1996!
Seriously, be careful with your robocopy. Always, always re-read what you typed, then run it with the /quit switch, and THEN read it to see if it's OK before you run it.

Amen to that. I used some visual version of that back in the mid 90's... ended up pushing data the wrong way and wiped out 30% of a network share. they were crazy and didn't make a dedicated share for the images to be pulled from.

Oh no, the source path is fine (technically) just I overlooked the exact drive to the wrong destination. As I replicated the script from the one before it.

Of course this means the copy (of the proper data) will take a while.

So our new printer arrived.... LaserJet Pro M402dn.... yeah this thing is gonna die in a month...

How often do we hear "We can save you money" and the answer is "oh no, money is too tight, we can't save money right now."
Really?

Actually - I have a story for that - We have a printer that we'll save money on it's TCO if we replace it with a new model. It would require some capital spend today though, and that's what's keep us from replacing it.

In this case, they are looking at investing MORE now, to lose MORE later. No savings, anywhere.
