I pride myself in having things done quickly...but it does make me look like a slouch when I am on WD for most of the day... :sad:
I do things quickly so I can have more time to screw around on the company's dime.
I never did anything
Thats my story and I am sticking to it. Vote or no vote
Usually the machines I need to work on (on my own time) are older and already take ages to do anything, so any time saved is more time spent with my family for me.
Defragging a drive is usually the last step I take on a Pentium MMX166 so that I don't have to suffer through it anymore. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif
Maybe I should get a version of DisKeeper that would work on that hardware...
Had a company engineer call me once on a Saturday whining about not seeing the task bar on his new Win98 machine. I dislike this guy and since he was calling me long distance on my saturday I made him stay on the line while I had him reload windows (snicker :devil: ). After he was done and in near tears because no one could fix his his machine including his wifes' friends at the University of Washington, I asked him to put his cursor down there to the bottom of his screen tell me what happened and for him to drag it up. Boy was he pissed at my laughter. I could have done this the short way, but having him pay the phone bill and making the moron fell like one was worth every second.
You might be quicker defragging it on your system before reinstaling it?
BTW Speed is not always the right course [just my 2c]
I try to make things take longer but by nature I do stuff as fast as I can, so I always do twice as much as the coworker and sit on my rump posting about band camp 5 times as much.
Band Camp???.........is that like teh GAY CAMP,you know like playing with your flute all day??
Well you see, the first year I went was the first time I kissed a girl, I was 13.
Second time I went, I got to go up a girls shirt, I was 14.
Third time I went, well :thumbs:
Fourth time I went, well :thumbs: with 2 different chicks
Fifth time I went, well :thumbs: and she lived near me and we kept dating for a year.

Everything I try to do on the cheap takes longer. I'm currently waiting for a friend to upgrade so I can have his old CPU in order to test a machine hit by lightning. The current CPU has a bubble on it but I don't know if only the CPU is fried or if everything else is fried too. ..and I"m too cheap to spend $53 on a CPU just to test it.
Every time you mention band camp I try for half an hour to remember what damn film it came from then give up when my pathetic brain fails to release the information!
What film was that girl in who goes on about band camp all the time?
BTW, if anyone has a working Athlon XP 1800 or better CPU that they want to get rid of cheap ($30 shipped) let me know.

Two weeks ago, I wrote about spyware software, having uncovered a company, Enigma Software, that is using pop- up advertising to deceive users into installing its SpyHunter software. Apparently, the company's deception has caught a number of readers. Here are the stories from two of them:
