a timely tale ... from the coalface

... there must be sayings about this -

Jessops photo is closing 81 of 340 stores "after fast-falling digital compact and memory card prices hit its sales...."

So they are right now having closing sale in those stores..



my sentiments on passing jessops stores ... lol! ... and I have been in about 10 times and asked 3 questions in 20 years

its GDD07: guys, socal, big, digit'y'all.

So, what does GDD07 mean?!

29 hours of cod! And guarana, greens and ice cream (22% fig and date, with lj), again. Seems unlisted at manufacturer

information.
Wonder why?
Its another ex-franchise, scooby doo.

And back to the theme. So, what?

Yeah.

Anything else?!!

Well they're heading offline totally as well!?

Big deal??!

What else ya doing!!! How about guessing location and music policy for the parallel sessions.

So, lucky the audio systems working, now (an intermittent connection!), and the timings fit well with other casts. No subtitles so couldn't do without sound like the BB07, which at moment has only birdcalls coming from garden! Maybe animalsBB's the thing.

Algorithm? heard that somewhere!

"MyPunchbowl: The Algorithm Schedules Your Event from TechCrunch by Nick Gonzalez

Previously, MyPunchbowl members picked a date by building consensus by talking on the invite’s bulletin board. The process is similar for the other event planning sites, except for Renkoo, which uses IM instead of bulletin boards. Now, with MyPunchbowl, you can avoid the bulletin board mess and find a date using the new “Pick-A-Date” feature, which recommends the best date from a set of dates supplied by the host. “Pick-A-Date” does this all in real time, giving greater importance to the schedules for the host and important guests. It’s best illustrated by checking out the video embedded below.

Now when you make an event, you can select multiple dates and times that work, specifying whether they are either “better” dates, or just “ok”. Since some events need key guests, MyPunchbowl also lets you pick VIPs, who have a greater effect on which date the algorithm recommends.

mypunchbowlpicksmall.pngAs RSVPs roll in, guests choose which dates don’t work, are ok, or are the best for themselves. After each RSVP the algorithm recalculates which date is best for the majority of the group, giving the greatest weight to VIPs. Real time feedback encourages the remaining guests to reschedule their calendars around the date that works the best for the majority of the group or the guest of honor. At any time, the host can choose a date for the event, using the recommended date as a guide without the hassle of long email or bulletin board threads."

Police officer: batteries included?

look out for debate on 'how many police officers does it take to change a lightbulb?', and, 'when does police administration get done?' A reduction in arrest forms is pending.







along lines of;

"How many managers does it take to change a light bulb?


1) A roomful - they have to hold a meeting to discuss all the ramifications of the change.
2) None, they like to keep employees in the dark.
3) "This topic was resumed from last week's discussion, but is incomplete pending resolution of some action items. It will be continued next week. Meanwhile ..."
4) "We've formed a task-force to study the problem of why light bulbs burn out, and to figure out what, exactly, we as supervisors can do to make the bulbs work smarter, not harder."

How was it managed with instant processing and booths?








this ones for teachers












this ones for cellphones!



What about a serious issue like when cbrn attack you'll rather be with some kind of murdoch special crowd rather than those bought the stuff at some kind of a mart? The suit always wins?
