What are you doing right now?

[Waldo]

G'day,

Right now I'm doing the mundane thing of turning a 200+pp Word document into an InDesign CS file for the Office of Training and Tertiary Educatiion / Dept of Education & Training to send to the printer. It's been a very long job so far it has taken a year to do 162 pages in between doing everything else for my clients.

So that's what I'm doing, so post a screen shot of what you're up to.

In case it's not obvious I'm bored doing this and soon I'll chuck in the towel for the day and go down to the shed to knock some bits of stuff together. :D

I'm working on a .NET class library that takes input parameters, assigns them to a data class, and then calls an Update method to insert records into the database. It's a mundane task but I had to work out a. how to make a .NET class library callable from a COM component and b. how to debug it. The novelty will wear off, I promise.

[Cliff Rogers]

Eating lunch & looking at what you silly buggers are doing. :D

[Waldo]

G'day Cliff,

Can you give us a screen shot of that? Then we'll see if your avitar matches up to your mug. :D

[namtrak]

Last nights Lasagne - reheated for 4 minutes on high
Coffee - Instant decaf, 1 sugar. Hot water added before milk

Paper - About to skip horror story on front page and go to crosswords

[Felder]

AWISA follow ups.

It would be inappropriate of me to post a screen shot with everyones contact details, so you'll just have to trust me.;)

[silentC]

What's with the late lunches? I have to eat by 12:30 or I fade away :(

[namtrak]

Apropos my get fit campaign - I am in no danger of fading away!

[ss_11000]

listening to weird al and reading the forums. enjoying my day off from work before going out to the shed when mum gets back.

[Waldo]

G'day,

Yep, 12:30 lunch is the go or the same for me, but I've been stuffing around and here and there so I haven't had lunch yet, about to get some grub now.

[Felder]

You've got Ozwinner on the phone? While your parents aren't there??:eek:

Every parents worst nightmare....

[Cliff Rogers]

G'day Cliff,

Nope, no camera with me & I've finished lunch.

I normally eat at 12 but had a big smoko at 10.... no pictures of that either. :D

Waiting for three loaves of Sourdough Rye to be ready for the oven.

checking new emails and replying to this thread

[echnidna]

Still putting ebooks together and playing with ebay

The big thing I have learned is that ebay is a huge minefield of pitfalls for the unwary.

Then I keep getting interupted by people who want to come camping here, so at times it's hard to get a good straight run at anything.
:cool:

[Andy Mac]

Been at my desk for a few hours drawing a wind sculpture and knocking together a paper model of it, before delivering to a team of computer modellers...just returned from them. Its to be included in a "walk through" of the uni's new entrance driveway.
I was hoping to do the drawing on SketchUp, but the download program won't cooperate here, so only have it on the home computer...that way you could have had a screenshot!:p

Cheers,

[Termite]

Rye loaf cooked. 1 down 2 to go.

[Phil Spencer]

Sitting at my desk working hard!

[Grunt]

Trying to get Asp.net 2.0 to do things that on the surface should be dead simple but in actuality are real hard. I get errors that say things like 'Error processing control'. Which control? What kind of error? I press buttons until I eventually I it work out. Then I get the next error.

Another programmer productivity tool that isn't.:(

[silentC]

Visual Studio 2005 is a crock of ####. I'm trying to get the stupid debugger to stop in a class library and it just keeps saying "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document". Go to the forum and heaps of other people have the same problem but no-one knows how to resolve it. I HATE MICROSOFT.

[TassieKiwi]

Checking up here, instead of:
Pricing a building extension for a transformer in a huge factory
Responding to about 6 different letters and e-mails
Deleting spam
Figuring out how to build a railway up a mountain (really)
Signing off QA docs for about 4 jobs
Project debriefs for same
Figuring how I can get someone else to buy me a C12 drill:D
Doing a financial report for another meeting

Hey Zed, are you sure that's your boy? I'd be concerned about the lack of fur.

[Zed]

yes grunt, thats him.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I've been working on this project that has taken 2 man months in .Net which would have been a couple of man weeks had I used Java and hand tooled the whole website.

No grunt. hes pre-pubescent.

I bet you were the type of kid that was the "bashee" at school, weren't ya ?:D

[Driver]

Putting my end-of-financial-year accounts in order before I give them to my bean counter. (No, I'm not going to post a screen shot :p ). In between tasks, I'm slowly designing a bench for my new workshop. Here's how far I've got. (Haven't decided on vices yet so Stu's current thread was very timely).

[RETIRED]

Behave.

[Felder]

Behave.

Who's muckin' up? I've re-read the entire thread....:confused:

Was it the reference the software giant?

Not trying to be smart, just curious...

Figuring out how to build a railway up a mountain (really)

Ring these guys - they've done it before.

we should have a tally on who gets more posts deleted - grunt or stoppers....:D

[Grunt]

I didn't really think my post deserved to be deleted. It was just a bit of pleasant Zed bashing.

Tried using Java and all the tools that go with that language? c# is too much like visual basic to be a serious tool :D .Net is MS's take on SOA, and not much of a take at that (perhaps better described as another MS "grab" :eek: :D :D :D

I am in Ostrava CZ building an engine plant for Briggs&Stratton. Temp is 31 deg. Project is on time. So far.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Right now? How "now" do you want? :D

[Waldo]

G'day Skew,

That's about what I was waiting for. ;)

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

At least I resisted the temptation for an hour or two... :o

Don't foget the stubby holder Col. :D

[Driver]

Don't foget the stubby holder Col. :D

Quite right, Cliff.

Here's a further development, complete with busted-@rse stubby holder, as prescribed in the Code.

[ernknot]

There is nothing in it.

Playing tennis with Lou!

Mate, have a heart! If I was smart enough to draw the stubby as well, I would have! I was struggling to depict the stubby holder with its@rse hangin' off in the prescribed fashion!

[JDarvall]

What am I doing ?

sweet bugger all really right now. Can't sleep, got be up at 4am tomorrow and yet I can't sleep........its going to be bloody cold too, stuffing around with pipes ...etc.

How about you Waldo ? ....anything exciting happening ?

[ernknot]

Sorry, you were probably holding the tinny in your hand.

[Waldo]

G'day Jake,

Anyting excting happening?

I'm off to a deceased estate garage sale on Satdee, I've rung them and have been reliably informed that there's a tonne of old woodworking tools up for grabs including some planes, lathe chisels and other stuff. It's a g/sale up in the Yarra Ranges at a farm so it could be promising. :)

Missed out on a Reocrd 43 on eBay last week (I forgot when it ended :( ) but my search for 1 of 3 planes for my evil plan continues.

Good luck with the estate sale...... never know what you'll find sometimes, eh.

On international ebay the poms sell them a lot...there's seems to one up for auction from there all the time....well, I suppose thats were the design origionates (?)....... about 10 pound.....but shippings, if I remember correctly, around 7 pound....whats that ? near $40AU.
