Says everything really - having to answer people's stupid (or should that be stupid people's) questions like 'it's telling me to press any key, so where is the Any key?' and 'why isn't the monitor displaying anything, and what's this circular thing on the front of it for?' is bound to use a lot of kliking

Edit: Having said that, working in support for OcUK is probably a lot more difficult, as I bet you have to sort out intelligent questions about CPU steppings and stuff and other technical issues that mere mortals wouldn't even begin to know about.

Nay, don't work for OcUK

I actually work for 3rd/4th line support for gvmnt contracts as a Team Leader

Oopsy, my bad then :embarassed smiley:

Sounds interesting though :genuinely impressed smiley:

Nikias · 8 Nov 2004 at 19:52

Good grief!

What is it with people in this thread and inventing smileys with colons?

:bemused looking smiley:

I swear I haven't seen it anywhere else on these forums, except on the very odd occasion.

Gilly · 8 Nov 2004 at 19:55

Thats cos elsewhere it'd look daft

atiently explaining something obvious to someone being dense smiley:

:cowers away from all of the enemies he's just made type very complex smiley creation:

Gilly · 8 Nov 2004 at 20:50

Hardly gonna make any enemies doing that, given that you've been involved in the project far longer.

Don't worry, I'll overtake you soon enough

:grins at the moment of Beansprout furiously typing watching Gilly going up the ranks, knowing that day will soon come:

Pfft..you've made me want to carry on with my overdue essay :\

Nikias · 8 Nov 2004 at 20:53

Bah, only 4 days or so. If you do overtake me, I'll just employ someone to mash the keyboard 24 hours a day until I regain my lead.

You're right about this, it's a great motivator to do essays.

Sad really.

Look on the bright side, we're now 88th with Setifrance coming up our rear :winking realising that has a double meaning:

Just noticed something interesting

If you load TKC onto 2 computers, and then use remote desktop connection to connect from the one to the other, both computers count key strokes mouse clicks etc.

2 for the price of one

[edit] by the way , this message was posted from a linux box, hence the use of smiley

TheTross · 8 Nov 2004 at 21:00

I have no essays to do, what with being at work, so I can't use that as an excuse for bounding up the table :sad-yet-also-very-happy-at-not-having-to-do-essays smiley:

Oh, well, will just have to learn to be an uber spammer, that's all :winking smiley:

Are you sure about that? Doesn't seem to have worked for me, the client PC (the one your typing away on) doen't score any klicks [TM the Beansprout], only the host or are you doing somethign most devious?

Ah oui, c'est une double signification tres bonne (corrected french jobby-effort for more kliks). But on a family forum??? :very shocked yet highly amused smiley:
