Ultrasoft Money

Doing an upgrade - running a file called 'pomo42' - deciding which modules to install - memory space is tight on the Zire 31 - but deselecting the Reports module doesn't uninstall it - now I've deleted it from the Zire 31, but left it in the Tungsten E.

The Peter Principle
Surely documented elsewhere; how I long for the kind of job which allows you to achieve competency, and just get on with it. I suppose that every job has its challenges.

Grandma

She told Lesley that she needed some help. She wanted me to call round after work on Friday.

Then it was decided that we would call round as a family to-day, so I came straight home on Friday. Now, she doesn't want us to come to-day; it has to be to-morrow.

We are not willing to put this visit off again. Should we?

Micro Flight Log 002

How exactly do you (effectively) reduce the number of terrain vertices?

Micro Flight Log 001

Tried to improve performance - currently running at less than 15 fps - reduced terrain vertices/? to less than 1000 - it didn't seem to make any difference to performance - increased them back to what they were / max - didn't seem to improve the view, particularly.

How important is the Managed Desktop?

In a world of the tsunami, war in Iraq, poverty, AIDS, does it matter whether people have a managed desktop?

We need a Big Bang because ...
... services are shared - large, distributed groups of people (everbody?) need/s to move at once.

Priority
Work has not delivered - security, satisfaction, sense of achievement; am I being ungrateful?
