The HALP thread

26-02-2011 3:55pm#1Had this idea a while back, never did anything about it (1 part laziness to 9 parts busy as ****)
Basically along similar lines of share your creativity thread, this will be for the community to ask for help on projects or whatever.
I see it working as simply as:
User 1: who's good at fixing this computer dealy
User 2 (who is probably baconzombie
) : Me!
or
User 1 <galva,grames etc>:I need people to come to my gig for support
User 2,3,4: We have time to go to this!
or
User 1: I hate my avatar, can anyone shoop something?
User 2: Here's an awesome avatar!
So yes, behold a place to Ask for help/Pimp your shiz.
The only rule is I will break your legs/face if it's abused- I'm talking to you "I've just signed up/Never used the forum but I'm gonna spam you anyway Cúnts".
So yes, let the NocTwitteryCommunityHelpness Beginnnnnn!!!!
(I'll be back later to probably abuse this and ban myself >_>)4

Sadly I only test software these days and not write it. I should get back into programming, it's fun.
it is fun. sometimes. except when you're coding away and you're like do-de-doo all done! and then someone comes along and says oh you know that thing you just finished and you've spent the last two months coding? yeah well we want to change the whole thing please. and have it done by next week. kthnx0 -

Meteor's BB is ok once you're in a city. Outside of dense population centres, they're hopeless. Try find a friend with a Meteor account living near you and ask them what it's like. For the record, I'm in the city (Dublin 8) and it's usually quite solid.
As for the Netbook, how big are your hands and fingers? It's difficult using one of the smaller keyboards (even the 92% ones) for extended if you have stumpy fingers like me. Asus, Acer, Samsung and MSI make solid netbooks (I have a very early edition Acer Aspire One), but for a few sheckles more, you can go from 11" to 15" in terms of screen which is a welcome upgrade.
I'd base the decision on budget more than anything. The more you can throw at it the better off you'll be, but you wouldn't want to be spending much more than €400 for your needs as described here.0 -

I think I may be the first one to use this thread for its purpose:)
I would like to get a mini-laptop ro notebook, something very small literally just for internet use. I have a blog for reviewing films and I've been thinking about ways to make it better, so I'd like to be able to update it on Fridays, while in the cinema reviewing new films on their release date. Has anyone got any tips on where to look?
Also, does anyone know if Meteor's broadband to go is any good?
When I was looking for this lark I ended up with an MSI Wind. I'm sure things have changed since then, but my bad boy was my only computer while living in Germany and it did the trick. I'm sure many of their competitors have caught up as that was two years ago. Some of them are way too overpriced. Get it cheap and cheerful and only use it for doing the grunt work, keep your files on a usb or sd card. Avoid programmes you don't want etc. and you'll get away without any of the bells and whistles of the more expensive types.
From what I've heard, Vodafone are the champs when it comes to mobile broadband, but that's just from reading around various forums on this place.
Are you planning to type while in the cinema? Prepare to get punched in the back of the head... think how annoying the light from a phone is :P
The real thing for you to do is get yourself put on the list for press screenings, that'll give you a few days edge 0 -

:eek: No in the bar after screenings! I'm offended that you would think I would commit such an atrocity. As Shepherd Book once said there's a special place in hell for people who do such a thing in the cinema.
Heh an MSI Wind was one of the netbooks I was looking at, Komplett only have one in stock at a good price.
Do you have to be a vodafone customer to get their broadband?
How would one go about getting on a press screening list? I doubt anyone would consider a blogger press:pac:0 -

Well, I've had my lil guy for years and it's never let me down. I still use it for downloading software etc, just incase there be booby traps ahead.
I think you can just pay for their broadband. Get a lil stick.
As for the press screening, I did communicate by other means 0 -

Many many people have complained recently that their stuff is just not getting delivered. They order, they get charged, it doesn't get shipped, they complain, they receive no communication from Komplett and when they try and contact them they don't get any answers.
That is strange. They have a phone number for contacting them which is one of the things that popped up over on consumer issues

I've bought from Elara before and found them quite good. My current laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad) I got from Expansys. I bought an Asus Eeepc netbook for my Mum a few years ago and that's still going steady. It was quite cheap but does the job. 0

I was looking at the Assus netbooks but the reviews I read weren't great.0 -

May I interject with a completely different "help needed" topic?
I need to do something about my fear of public speaking. I have absolutely no problems addressing a crowd of strangers as long as it's in an informal setting, and most people who know me would never think I'd be lacking in confidence in that respect! But when it comes to giving presentation on my work or anything of the kind, I just find it very hard to deal with. It's too formal, too prescriptive, and my main concern is coming across as unprepared or unprofessional. It gets to the stage where I almost, but not quite, have panic attacks.
I realise that as a psychology-type person I should have the knowledge to get over this stuff! But if anyone could recommend any courses or techniques or, hell, even Rescue Remedy to help me get over this, I'd be extremely grateful.
Sorry for the long rant; I've just given a presentation in my department there and I'm still shaking a bit. I thought it best to ask for help now while the panicky feelings are still ripe and I know it's needed.0 -
