or is this all pointless as solid state will wipe it out ?
I beleive in the voice of the quiet man
well isn’t it ? for me it truly is …
the parable, the tail, the story, the scenes the setups, the getups, the plot, the backstory, the history, the switchbacks, the actors and what happens to them who cares ? its all way to well thumbed for me, and often so simplistic in manner as to be unworthy of observance, “the story” is a form of modern pollution, its educative up to a point and then the use of it it is over, there is little to be learnt that is applicable to the complexities of a real life, and should we live our lives like a story as portrayed in the media ? should we be happy and find entertainment in observing artificial portrayal’s of fictional yet real researched lives, why do people get pleasure from identification or rejection of a fictional other ? is it a demonstration of our taste, the storys we like, or is it just another demonstration of our egos’s, in thinking our choices in entertainment are a worthy demonstration of our own intellect in action, when really theyre mainly just noise in the stream of general consciousness, and what does it mean when the story is over for a person, is it a bad thing ? to not beleive in the story, is it a lack of metaphorical faith in ones own life ? is this what age is ? do we die of no longer believing in the human story ? does our spirit wain from belief in it ? when we see beyond the distractional noise, to view the great immutable predictable mess of it, the shape of a life swallowed as a whole in its entirety.
whenever you want to search on any problem/troubleshooting with mail, you end up getting loads search results related to mail programs in general due to the silly naming of mail, why not imail ? at least we can then differentiate it. also while were at it “Address book” isnt too smart a naming either. Other people have made equally silly mistakes when naming things windows being called windows for instance. though searching for xp or vista solves dodgy results, but now with windows seven we have to type “windows 7” i guess as lots of pages will contain windows and 7 in them.
Hmm anyway it all shows how important naming is really.
I hate the way in macos x if you start a process thats slowing the machine down to a crawl, you cant do a control D and stop the action you set in motion, like you used to be able to on older operating systems, the only way is to force quit the program ? and run the merry risks of some form of file corruption, it should always be possible to instruct a program to stop doing what its doing ?
Im with barclays for three account’s, why is it they can never do anything right ?
Hard limits on overdraft ? somehow theyre always soft limits ? so forcing accidentally into overdraft and charges what I want is hard limits on my account my card to not work if I dont have the funds, or such so that when one account needs topping up form another it is automatically done.
The Bank statements are designed appallingly badly, almost illegible, the advertising is larger than the stuff you need to read.
Their online banking is a chore and equally badly designed to busy and badly layed out.
their pin sentry crap is utterly irritating.
Their lack of interest on general accounts that are heavly in credit is appalling.
Generally their like a grifter at the fair, that needs allot of ostricisation and slapping, before their morality will come into check.
Soon i’ll move the lot to some form of co-operative style bank where I get something out of them having large amounts of my money.
Rather than them endlessly screwing me, and when i attempt to leave, only then asking if theyres anyway they can keep me. There a bunch of swindlers, who moan on the one hand at the cost of maintaining current accounts and go buy up other banks with the other hand, their an evil empire that needs bringing down. They have way to many employees working all over the shop, I can never enter my barclays branch without a 45 min queue to acheive anything via some half on the ball mid 30’s immigrant personal banker, who has to ask the computer what to do. really they might as well close my local branch its pointless.
Anybody know of the best co-operative bank with no branches but superb online banking. that can take online payments on my behalf, So I can force my clients away from cheques only the last vestage thats tying me to one of these old rubbish banks.
