I don’t do World of Warcraft, and that’s probably a good thing.


I do miss

“No, you can’t upgrade Internet Explorer 6″

Many don't have a choice.  They are using work computers and can't upgrade.In a week when one of our customer’s senior management team said
“No, we’re not upgrading Internet Explorer 6, we’re waiting for Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7”

A user rings up and tells me “Google Maps doesn’t work with Internet Explorer 6.  I want Internet Explorer 8”

It was with some sense of Schadenfreude that I pointed the user at their senior management.

(graphic from the most excellent: The Life, Times (and Death?) of Internet Explorer 6 (Comic Strip))

Footnote:
Yes, we want our customers on a later browser.  But the customers have internal business websites, which we don’t manage; which only work with IE6.

It’s enough to make an IT support guy cry.

If you’re silly enough to using IE6 on your home PC?  It’s time to stop using it

“I might be able to beat this up into a very good yarn”

I was discussing the poor state of print media journalism, the other day over a drink, with one of the blokes that I work with.

Since it’s Christmas and all, here’s a Nicholson animation movie which sums up it up.

In order to sell hamburgers

McDonald’s has been selling their “Grand Angus” burger here, it’s made from Angus Beef.

Not to be outdone, the Hungry Jack’s chain (it’s the Australian Burger King) retaliated with the Angry Angus:

The consensus at work is that the Grand Angus is the better burger.

"Barry to be renamed to Nigel-No-Friends", was the announcement.

Sometimes search assist doesn’t work that great.

I was searching for the coffee chart here, and I started typing hot co, and I got these suggestions from DogPile Image search

dogpile suggestions: (all porn related) hot cougars, hot country girls, hot cougar mom, hot college guys shower, hot coffee san andreas.

I suppose the results could have been worse (NSFW).
