    Had a thought today in work.

    If an optimist views a 500ml glass with 250ml of water in it as half full, does that same optimist view a 500kg skip with 250kg of waste in it as half empty?

      Have a problem with the range extender.

      I called UPC last week because I was having lots of drop off problems, they factory reset my router and since then the D link can't connect to it.

      Google is no help. Anyone any ideas? Tried all sorts of re-boots.
      You usually have to pair the range extender again when there is a factory reset. Like you did initially out of the box. Find the pair instructions if you have the box its usually just holding the pair button in for 6 seconds though.

        Not if it's his job to fill it and he gets to go home when it's done.

            Maybe I'm missing something. But I'd be seeing what's available in a skip by volume, not weight.

                depends if it's his waste or every gobshites within 3 miles dumping into it.

                  I tried to set it up like I've just bought it, it has it's own ssid and password, but it's still showing up in my network connections as it did before the UPC reset.

                  When i bought it new it showed up as 'D Link' something or other, you enter the password then hook it up to your router, but it's not giving me that option now.

                    Heard this on the Anton Savage show today.... Little Green Cars did a cover of it and absolutely smashed it.... Brought back so many memories of seeing Depeche Mode live in the SFX Hall in the early 80's. Was absolutely the loudest gig that you could ever imagine. There was 2 HUGE Bus sized banks of speakers, one either side of the stage, in a hall that was about the size of your front garden.

                      If its still showing up try right clicking D link and 'forget network' and try again.

                        Any chance of a military coup in Greece tonight? Just seems so lame coming back with a slightly worse 'bail-out'', after closing the banks for two weeks, and having a referendum. How can any government carry on after such bullshittery?

                          A fucker like that wouldn't be filling it too efficiently. He'd end up costing you money.

                          Dunno, I think in that situation an optimistic view would still be half empty. Other cunce actions are out of his control regardless.

                            I tried it.

                            My wireless network name is 'Lazare', the extender is 'Lazare Extension', it still shows up as 'Lazare Extension', with the same password, so it doesn't look like the factory reset of the router had an effect on the extender.

                                Is there a pin hole for the extender if so try factory resetting the extender.
                                Otherwise i found this info that worked for someone in the comments of a youtube video

                                SPOILER
                                the main issue that is not being shown on the instructions that come with this extender is that you can not already be connected to your internet in order to initially set up this device. You must completely disconnect your computer from your wifi, and then you connect to your extender, in order to get to the setup page. But that is not really explained very well in the instructions that come with it. So, simply put, disconnect your computer from your home wifi, and then connect to your extender, then you can get to the setup page that is described. Otherwise you will just be frustrated, and never get anywhere. As I was for days and days until I finally figured that part out. Hope this makes sense. They should state this more clearly in the instructions for this device. I have been using mine for months now, and it works fine, but the initial setup was a nightmare mainly because they do not describe this thoroughly in the instructions.

                                        Cheers Martin, if it was soldering alone I'd throw it my dad's way but the turntables aren't very repair friendly as the connection that needs replacing can only be gotten to by taking a big chunk of the turntable apart and avoiding some delicate wires.

                                                My sister called me a few weeks ago and said that a guy in work had emailed her some lyrics his 14 year old daughter had penned, raps mainly and could she send them on to me for me to mess about with and see if I could put music to some of it.

                                                I couldn't get over how good these lyrics were, nevermind the fact that a 14 year old girl came out with them. Eg, 'When my mind and my heart don't get along, it's like two birds, with two words, no one can understand'. I'm writing some stuff, but I wish I could come up with something as pure as that.

                                                I took a section of one of her raps and put this together, I also changed a little, in that I used the opening line 'Up Up and Away' as a hook, the line only appears once.

                                                My sister sent it to her, she likes it seemingly, although it's probably miles away from her style.

                                                Love to get some feedback..

Tbh, I'm struggling with structure and how to close out a song. Kinda the reason I'm posting it actually. To get that sort of feedback. Needed a few beers on board to do so too lol.
                                                            I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

                                                              I couldn't get over how good these lyrics were, nevermind the fact that a 14 year old girl came out with them. Eg, 'When my mind and my heart don't get along, it's like two birds, with two words, no one can understand'. I'm writing some stuff, but I wish I could come up with something as pure as that.

                                                              I took a section of one of her raps and put this together, I also changed a little, in that I used the opening line 'Up Up and Away' as a hook, the line only appears once.

                                                              My sister sent it to her, she likes it seemingly, although it's probably miles away from her style.

                                                              Love to get some feedback..

It sounded pretty good to me you've got pretty handy on the guitar pretty fast and your voice sounds great. Tonnes of people play guitar and play it well but putting some notes together and writing a bit of your own stuff is a different ball game. You seem to be doing well. That type of music wouldn't really be my cup of tea so I can't offer much more.

                                                                                              If an optimist views a 500ml glass with 250ml of water in it as half full, does that same optimist view a 500kg skip with 250kg of waste in it as half empty?
                                                                                              Interestingly people don't have a global "optimism" or "pessimism" orientation, but rather have ones for positive things and negative thing. So for example I am a pessimist when it comes to positive things but an optimist when it comes to negative things.

                                                                                              One of the underlying orientations in it is permanence (others being how personally you take events to reflect how you are, and how pervasively you generalise events or things to be). I have a general orientation to being aware that things end (this is a nihilistic orientation, as opposed to an eternalist one). Consequently I devalue positive things because I am orientated to the fact that it will cease which makes me pessimistic about positive things, but I am orientated to the fact that negative things will cease which makes me optimistic about negative things.

                                                                                              I realise that this goes beyond your question, but I find it quite interesting.

                                                                                                If an optimist views a 500ml glass with 250ml of water in it as half full, does that same optimist view a 500kg skip with 250kg of waste in it as half empty?
                                                                                                No but an opportunist sees free water and a load of space to dump a mattress

I assume about 8?im 3 hours ahead so might be in a bar around 5 perhaps and don't want to be caught unawares.

So for example I am a pessimist when it comes to positive things but an optimist when it comes to negative things.

                                                                                                          One of the underlying orientations in it is permanence (others being how personally you take events to reflect how you are, and how pervasively you generalise events or things to be). I have a general orientation to being aware that things end (this is a nihilistic orientation, as opposed to an eternalist one). Consequently I devalue positive things because I am orientated to the fact that it will cease which makes me pessimistic about positive things, but I am orientated to the fact that negative things will cease which makes me optimistic about negative things.

                                                                                                          I realise that this goes beyond your question, but I find it quite interesting.

                                                                                                              - Every place that has made helmets mandatory has seen a massive reduction in cycling.

Ireland missed their sixth but then the French player bottled it and smashed it over the bar. Ireland score, France score, Ireland score, France hit the post.

The crotch area of normal clothes don't take well to cycle commuting. There are some Levis that are specifically reinforced for cyclists but they are hard to find and pretty expensive.
