Success at long last

Posted in Uncategorized

Ok i’ve finally had some success at long last.
I’ve managed to label the play record and reset default greetings graphics.

Basically I want to thank my very good friend Gary for his efforts and i’ll buy him a free drink.
He showed me where the graphics were for voice mail and with a bit of fiddling around I could record my own voice mail greeting.

Very very cool.

Also on news around here, i’m buying myself a new billion my guard 7500gl modem router.
It has a built in access point, vpn end to end capabilities and also qos for people who use voice over ip phone services.

I can’t wait.

I’ll be ordering the fucker on monday so hope to have it asap.

Cheers and long live billion and skype.

New skype release

Posted in Technology Related, and Uncategorized

Ok all.

I’ve installed the new skype release that offers better audio quality and you can now pay for voice mail.
At the moment voice mail is good but we can’t access the record a greeting function which did work in the previous beta.
I’ve written an email to skype in the support forums and here’s the letter I wrote to them.
Please comment on this and i’ll post there reply if they decide to reply.
Fucken didiots I really hate it when a fucking developer takes away keyboard access to a perfectly usable function which was working and now it’s not.

Please find my lettter below.

Hi there.

I’m writing today to express disappointment in the fact there seem to be no keyboard shortcuts to the record and play functions in the voice mail portion of skype.

Previously you could choose options then click the voice mail tab and could use your tab key to access the record and play buttons.
This functionality is especially useful for blind people such as myself.
How are we meant to record a new voice mail greeting now that access to the record and playback functions have been taken away from us?
It appears now to record a new voice mail greeting, you have to click a picture on the voice mail window.
This isn’t going to work for blind people who use screen reading technology and I urge the skype developer’s to restore this keyboard access to the voice mail greeting functionality.
This was working fine in the previous beta so why take a perfectly good feature away from us?

Can I please have an undertaking from you that this functionality will be restored in a future release?
I’ve paid good money to use voice mail and can’t record a greeting because keyboard access has been taken away and I can’t use a mouse to access the record picture on the screen.

If there is another way of recording a voice mail greeting, please let me know.

Can you bring out a release asap so I can use voice mail and record a greeting?
Thanks for your assistance on the above.

Second day back at work

Posted in Uncategorized

Ok today is my second day back at work.
Yesterday went fine and I was really happy doing support on the retail support queue.
at least I can look up all customer details and don’t have to rely on the other hd boys for assistance.
Long live css.
It’s a legend and will always remain a favourite application of mine.
I don’t care what anyone else says, it’s a bit of a learning curve but it sure beats billmax for ease of use.
billmax is like gtreading water and trying to breathe all at the same time.

On a happier note, I want everyone to take a look at
www.jamster.com.au

The ringtones are absolutely fantastic and rock baby.

go and grab a ringtone today and remember, boys love Milkshakes large or small makes no fucking difference to me.
I prefer the larger variety the ones you can hold in both hands and enjoy the feeling of the shake and wobble.

Seriously look after your girl if you have one cause women should be admired and commended for there efforts as well as recieving free doughnuts each day.

Cheers and catch ya all round like a jar of peanut butter.

Also I love chocolate fudge sundays.
Pity it’s tuesday not sunday.

Catch ya.

New software read this now not next month

Posted in Technology Related, and Uncategorized

Ok i’d like to proclaim some new software that really works.
If your prepared to use your mouse pointer, you too can enjoy a great piece of software called CounterSpy.
This fine application beat other spyware detection programs and also has built in application monitoring which stops the spyware from being installed in the first place.
I’d seriously you all visit the below website and grab a 15 day trial.
It’s only 19.95 us dollars for a years worth of updates so check it out at the web site
Sunbelt Software Website

grab it and have a look.

Id’ be interested in your comments regarding this entry.

cheers.

Holidays almost over dam it dam you

Posted in Uncategorized

Right i’m fucking pissed off today cause it’s the last day of my holidays or vacation as the usa folks call it.
Very disappointed cause 2 weeks goes so fast and i’ve really enjoyed the quality relaxation time and that kind of thing.

To end this final day of misery and constant thoughts of work tomorrow, we’re having a beer and fish and chip night where we can let our hair down and comiserate my end of holidays.
Your probably asking why is it such a big deal?
the reason is fellow reader, none of you reading this have any idea what it’s like talking to grown men who can’t find a simple little on off button on a computer. None of you have to deal with screaming uptight fucked up individuals who treat you like an old piece of ham that’s been bitten off and chewed by the family pet. None of you have tried eating a carrot for an afternoon tea brake only to be interupted by the fucking phone of death.
My fellow readers, if I could only retire tomorrow i’d leave work and have the biggest bloody fucking party you’ve ever seen in western sydney. Further more, i’d only invite cool people they know who they are and tell the world the days of helpdesk are over. there really over and i’d shout it long and loud till I lost my voice entirely.

Unfortunately this is a dream folks so it’s back to work tomorrow but seriously if there is such a thing fellow reader, i’ll be able to see the boys again and we’ll all bitch and moan about screwed in the head clients who can’t even count to 10 unless you hold there grimy hands and beg them to hang up the fucking phone in sheer anger.

see you all at the beer and fish and chip night.
