IT Life skills*
Aug. 27th, 2003 09:22 amOne of the advantages of working in IT is that you are usually guaranteed that sooner or later your boss will ask you to explain what you're doing. Now this, some might think, is not a good thing - who wants their boss on their shoulder all the time (and admittedly I've trained mine quite well and he doesn't bother me very often) but this can be lots of fun as well, as this gives you a chance to try out a variety of new jargon terms (known sometimes as the star trek effect) that you've just made up to guage their reaction or to see how much they've mastered the art of nodding and grinning (one of lifes most important skills).
For example;
Boss: So, what are you doing now?
You: I've just finished the preliminary psuedostructure for the transnetwork subinterface for the combifunctions.
Boss: -blink blink- -nod nod- Keep up the good work. -wanders off-
You: Result.
To this end, I provide the following table to generate psuedo techno babble** for your IT work environment for confusing your boss...
* I am well aware this is likely an oxymoron
** Note that it is not entirely unlikely that several, many or all of the terms generated by the above table may actually exist, but this just goes to prove my point in the first place.

| 1 | Psuedo | network |

| 3 | Inter | code |
| 4 | Combi | function |
| 5 | Micro | thread |
| 6 | Sub | structure |
| 7 | Ether | transmission |
| 8 | Multi | period |
| 9 | Asyncronous | packet |
| 10 | Digital | flange |

Because you really wanted to know
Aug. 27th, 2003 01:26 pmPost dentist the right side of my face is totally numb, including my nose; which has sort of the feeling of having a potato stuffed up my right nostil.

Can anyone recommend a decent MP3 organiser of similar vein to Real Jukebox?
Ideally it will allow browsing of all files, creation of playlists from this browsing and burning to CD; and (hopefully) burning of cd's to mp3;
Realone keeps crashing (I may revert back to realjukebox) and Winamp has a rather clumsy playlist editor that annoys the hell out of me, and media player is pants.
Any others?

Curse my rampant consumerism!

Doh.
