DOES NOT COMPUTE!

    I was handed a document in work today.

    There was a section somewhere towards the middle I needed, it was a pretty hefty size of a report.

    I thought to myself "I'll just command + F to find it"

    Reminds me of the time my friend dropped his keys and thought "command + Z" to undo.

    "SIR STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER"

    I wish more books had ctrl F. Why is it that with every time I lose my place in a book I always think I was reading the bottom left corner of it when I never actually am?

    Standing at the sideline of a soccer match and shouting out "Triangle Triangle" to encourage someone to play a through ball does nothing for one's assertion that one is an outdoorsy, sporty kinda guy.

    I was out the other night and was talking to a girl and her friend. When I handed them a cup, I got some very confused looks.

    Writting a report out by hand... reached across to my laptop and ctrl-s'd it. Then realised that biro automatically saves your work as you go.

    I sometimes don't pay attention to what's going on cause I feel like I can just press rewind and catch anything important that I miss. Whay can't life have a sky plus type thing?

    Stupid SNES emulators with the save state and load buttons :(
    Everytime I did something dumb when I was younger my brain starts screaming 'PRESS F4 PRESS IIIT!' :mad:

    Emo's favorite keyboard command - Ctrl+x

    I've done the whole reaching for Ctrl+z or Ctrl+y when i've made a mistake in real life a couple of times alright.

    I had a tv hooked up to my pc, the amount of times I tried to pause the tv signal or spent ages trying to figure out where the mouse was disappearing to when I went to the 2nd screen just wasn't funny so I threw out the tele.

    My Kindergarten teacher told me our brains work like printers. Like those old Dot Matrix loud mother****ing printers. Going back and forth and back and forth.

    I've been screwed up ever since.

    I have a dose of something atm (possibly swineflu), and I was leaving a visitor message for somebody here yesterday, sneezed as I was typing and thought "Oh ****, I'd better tell him to wash his hands after reading this" granted I was doped up on painkillers and had a fever but still like...

    was doing some report for school a few years back and someone asked if they could copy my headings, "Yeah, sure just copy and paste them" says I then realised that that facility has yet to be invented with copies and pens:(

    It's a flash element calling "http://deploy.tv3.ie/crossdomain.xml", it;s trying to access information stored on another domain.

    Flash movies loaded from incompatible domains cannot access ActionScript objects and variables (Flash 6 and above SWF files)

    * You cannot load variables or XML data into a Flash movie from another domain.
    For example, a Flash movie loaded from http://www.yourserver.com/flashmovie.swf can access data residing at http://www.yourserver.com/data.txt. The text file is located within the same domain as the SWF.

    However, an attempt to load data from http://www.NotMyServer.com/data.txt will fail and no error messages are displayed. The load action will cause a warning dialog to appear.

    For more information on this dialog please refer to Macromedia Flash movie fails to load data in Flash Player 7 (TechNote tn_18860).

    It's crossed my mind when writing that I'll just copy and paste or right click before I remember that I'm using a pen.

    A few times when I was younger I'd be having a crafty cigarette and my mam would ring me on my mobile. I used to throw the fag away thinking she might smell the smoke on my breath over the phone. Wasted a few cigarettes doing that.
    Also the other morning I was half asleep half awake still dreaming and my girlfriend beside me asked me what time it was. At the time I was dreaming that I was looking at a PC screen so I checked the time in the bottom right corner and mumbled 20 to 10. Needless to say it was completely the wrong time. I laughed myself back to sleep.
