In this forum we communicate via words. How you speak *is* how you are
to us. We tell people coming here that we spell out words ("you" instead of "u", for example), but no one grades for spelling or typos or the occasional grammatical error. and words i have used. if you dont like my manner or how i write then move on, its that simple. Look, we're about substance here, but it's not asking too much that you conform a bit to some conventions designed to make you more understandable. considering the many genuine responses, i would guess ive been understood by many and appreciate the time taken to reply. what i dont appreciate is someone deciding they are a netcop and trying to enforce their own petty ideas of how things should be done. but hey, if thats what you want to do go ahead and waste your own time. At least you didn't top-post. you really do have issues, maybe you should find a forum for them. |

news The first step is the hardest (at least for me). I would suggest also seeing a nutritionist or counselor of some sort to help you become accountable. its all down to me to stop what im doing to myself and sitting in front of some stranger prying into my background isnt my idea of help but i can see where your coming from, out of the two id prefer the nutritionist but i know i wont go see one. my problem is i know how to do it, i just havent been able to keep the mindset for various reasons which all boil down to me being an idiot. anyway, this is end of day 3 which has seen me keep on plan and do 15 minutes of exercise bike this morning and 15 minutes tonight. i planned to go swimming this morning but replaced it with the bike as the weather was awful and didnt fancy the drive in it. |

Just knowing what you need to do doesn't mean that you know how to do it properly. A nutritionist will help with that. You are on the right track and posting with people who know where you are coming from and have been there many times before (me!) |

So, the result is numerous typos such as "Iwant" etc. i I was having the same problem with my keyboard - the space bar wasn't working properly. I called the help desk yesterday afternoon and I had a new keyboard when I arrived this morning. Do you have a help desk or maintenance department? |

It is, strictly speaking, not a keyboard issue. It only happens when I type text in an Exceed/W kterm window. It does not happen in, say, xemacs editor that is a windows program. Only in exceed. So a help desk would not be of much help, unfortunately. i I guess it would depend on your helpdesk. I don't know what I would do without ours. They handle everything. We just call, tell them the problem and they find the right group to solve our problems - hardware, software, etc. |

So, the result is numerous typos such as "Iwant" etc. My keyboard (or my typing skills) will commonly cause me to double capitalize some words. And then there are days like today where my fingers don't want to type well at all. The above sentence was corrected probably a dozen times as I typed it. Ya know those times when you think faster than you type and you end up typing the wrong words. :-) **** happens. Yup. And the "netcop" in me pays no attention to it. It's just when a new person comes and deliberately, obviously flaunts convention it seemed worth pointing out that his lack of punctuation (and capitalization) makes him needlessly annoy people. His response was to **** off, that he was going to annoy whoever he wanted. Fair enough. As long as we all know where we stand. I don't need to be a netcop. I am perfectly capable of ignoring his posts. I just don't really see why he'd aim for that. Dally |

Do you have a help desk or maintenance department? but,. aren't you the boss of the help desk? :-) Hey...did you forget I'm a mainframer? I can barely spell PC g I have one of the pc guru's come to the house when I have a problem or call one of my kids when something happens to the one at home. We have a warehouse full of equipment so they just had to get it shipped over here....about 3 blocks. With 3,000+ pc's on campus they better have a spare keyboard. Mine was probably full of cracker crumbs...... I have a lid on my coffee so it's been a long time since I spilled any liquids on one. At least the new one is a lot quieter than the old one. |
