(down the end)
short answer is turn off DCHP on the linked router and give it an ip on the subnet of the Horizon boxPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

An IP on the subnet of the Horizon box then.... I guess I need to find the IP address of the box and then if that's say 10.1.2.0 give the new router an IP of 10.1.2.1?

don't use 1-10 (not that you can't, but probably other devices may have that lease already)
don't use 229 or 254 (technical reasons)
once you disable DHCP from the new router and give it a static IP you should be grand.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

Everything else is a pain to cycle as they are so heavy and slow.
Coming up to 5000km in commutes on mine which is about €3000 in bus fares saved, not to mention that it's faster than driving and way faster than the bus.

here's a great bike at a fantastic price. If you decide to go full hog on a road bike once you've been riding around for 6 months/a year, you can probably sell it off with very little loss.

Look at the gridded urinal. The Curragh is currently in a 50M development but you can be sure they will overlook the gridded double safety in the picture. They say Dermot Desmond misses little, i bet he will miss this in the re development.
If he wished to take me on as a consultant you can be sure i wont be charging the V for Vendetta type fees, that's for damn sure!.

Originally posted by Zod View PostI'll be voting yes to both referenda so that we can have a 'Micknail for president' campaign in the next one.
Walking down O'Connell Street late afternoon there was a bagpipe player in gear and a guy with a huge flag and No leaflets being handed out. Young guy hands me one, and entranced by the music and flag I take it, realise what it is and hand it back to him with a pleasant smile and turn to walk off.
He goes, "Oh so you're not open minded then!"
I'm already walking off, and then this huge anger comes up in me about it. This feels like a strange experience for me, because, well, I pretty much never feel angry. But all the way down O'Connell Street and Abbey Street I am raging, and imagining having a go at him and grabbing all his leaflets and throwing them in the bin.
As it happens I find myself coming down the same street and crossing there about half an hour later. And he goes to give me a leaflet. I have a bit of of a pop at him that he was insulting me a few minutes ago, tell him what he said and that I was walking down the street feeling incredibly angry etc. He apologises, and then we start chatting about our positions on it, and then about the religious organisation he's a part of (I was impressed because he had a uniform of sorts with a cool lion emblem). And we parted on good terms.
Popped in Paddy Power to ask what the max bet was on the individual constituencies, "As much as you have" was the reply. Was thinking of sticking a few grand on Donegal NE but when I checked when I got home the odds had gone to 4/11 I think now, and the bankers seem not great odds. Cavan Monaghan shift too, so probably not going to bother buying money on it.

Tipping Point is close to being the most tilting program on television
1. People that can't time a counter into the machine so that it falls on the ledge, and not on other coins.
2. People that commentate while other's coins are going through their motions in the machine.
3. People that take any less than 3 coins for any category in the final round. Their seems to be literally zero difference in 'difficulty' whether you choose 1,2 or 3 coins.
4. People that choose the trade at the end when there is <1% chance they'll get the jackpot counter out of the machine even if they hit 3 perfect coins, and they seem surprised when a coin doesn't move more than it is physically possible.
Idiots!

It'll be a clusterfuck of different networks, firewall rules and shit otherwise.

On day 2 of a 'could I possibly be an early riser?' trial after 36 years of evidence to the contrary. 6:30 two days in a row and feeling pretty decent, probably more so than if I got up at 7:30-8 as normal. I must admit to shutting my eyes for 30 mins after I dropped the kids off before going to work today though. 6:30 is the new ginseng imo.

Originally posted by Opr View PostI don't think they control the dropping of the coin. I think they just pick the drop zone and the machine does the rest.
OprOriginally posted by shrapnel View PostPretty sure that's only in the final. The rest of the time, they just decide which zone.
Originally posted by 5starpool View PostOf course they do. They have a big button to time when it drops.
He must say 'Get your timing right' about 3 times during every show. If they didn't time it themselves, then they (the show) could just pick and choose when to screw people out of counters. It's entirely up to the contestants.

Originally posted by Opr View PostYeah as Shrap says, is it not a buzzer they have in front of them in the first few rounds? Are you suggesting the button acts as a buzzer and a drop counter button? Now who is the crazy one?

Originally posted by WikiIn Round 1, the four players are each given three counters. Questions are then asked and the first to sound their buzzer may answer. If they answer correctly, they must choose either to play one of their own counters if they feel the machine will pay out or, if they feel the machine won't pay out, may instead nominate an opponent, forcing them to use up one of their own counters. In either case, the relevant player chooses which of the four drop zones they want to drop a counter down and then presses their buzzer to release the counter into the machine. In the event of an incorrect answer, one of the player's counters goes into a penalty pot. At the end of the round, all the counters in the penalty pot are put up for grabs on a final question 'on the buzzer'. If two players are tied for third place, three players are tied for second place, or all four players are tied for first place, a sudden death question is asked on the buzzer with no counters. If a player answers correctly, they move on to the next round but if they answer incorrectly, they are eliminated.

He said 'Release your counter when you're ready' and then you see her pressing the buzzer....

While we're on holiday Q&A....Anywhere in France good for bringing smallies to (3&1)? Thinking of skipping holidays altogether this year as I reckon it might be more relaxing that way!
