Just for Laughs : If you find dangerously bored

Hi all,
Just want to share with you an old joke:
If you find dangerously boring in the office,Then here are some tips to overcome boredom:
1. Form a detective agency to find out who is quitting next.
2. Make blank calls to your Boss.
3. Send mails from lotus notes(outlook) to your internet mail (and immediately get to the internet and see who reaches first, you or your mail?) and read them there, and note down the time they take to reach there. Then do vice versa............. !!
4. Rearrange the furniture, i.e. flick someone else's chair just to irritate him/her.
5. Count your fingers (and toes if you still get bored).
6. Watch other people changing their facial ex-pressions while working and try changing your ex-pressions also.
7. Try to stretch status meetings as longer as possible, just by asking silly doubts.
8. Make faces at strangers in office.
9. Have a two hour lunch; it's a big social occasion.
10. Learn to whistle.
11. Revise last week's newspaper.
12. Hold "How fast my computer boots" competitions.
13. Practice aiming the coffee cup into the dustbin.
14. Compile "How to waste your day"
15. Pick up phone and dial non-existing nos.
16. Have work breaks in between tea.  
17. Count maximum no of applications your computer can open at time.
18. For Win NT/95 users....Move things to Recycle bin and restore them..Then repeat this process.
19. Look at someone & try to imagine how(s) he might have looked when(s) he was 5 years old.
20. Read jokes and send jokes.
21. Make full use of the comfortable chair and table provided and take a nap.

I found it really funny and thought you will like it too...:)
An Expert who works in BAAN, Netherlands who spent two years in Hyderabad, wrote this hilarious article.
Driving in India For the benefit of every Tom, Dick and Harry visiting India and daring to drive on Indian roads, I am offering a few hints for survival. They are applicable to every place in India except Bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer.
Indian road rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best, and leave the results to your insurance company. The hints are as follows:
Do we drive on the left or right of the road?  The answer is "both". Basically you start on the left of the road, unless it is occupied. In that case, go to the right, unless that is also occupied. Then proceed by occupying the next available gap, as in chess. Just
trust your  instincts, ascertain the direction, and proceed. Adherence to road rules leads to much misery and occasional fatality.
Most drivers don't drive, but just aim their vehicles in the intended direction. Donu2019t you get discouraged or underestimate yourself except for a belief in reincarnation; the other drivers are not in any better position.
Don't stop at pedestrian crossings just because some fool wants to cross the road. You may do so only if you enjoy being bumped in the back. Pedestrians have been strictly instructed to cross only when traffic is moving slowly or has come to a dead stop because some minister is in town.
Still some idiot may try to wade across, but then, let us not talk ill of the dead.
Blowing your horn is not a sign of protest as in some countries. We horn to express joy, resentment, frustration, romance and bare lust (two brisk blasts), or, just mobilize a dozing cow in the middle of the bazaar.
Keep informative books in the glove compartment. You may read them during traffic jams, while awaiting the chief ministeru2019s motorcade, or waiting for the rainwaters to recede when over ground traffic meets underground drainage.
Occasionally you might see what looks like a UFO with blinking colored lights and weird sounds emanating from within. This is an illuminated bus, full of happy pilgrims singing bhajans.  These pilgrims go at breakneck speed, seeking contact with the Almighty, often meeting with success.
Auto Rickshaw (Baby Taxi): The result of a collision between a rickshaw and an automobile, this three-wheeled vehicle works on an external combustion engine that runs on a mixture of kerosene oil and creosote.
This triangular vehicle carries iron rods, gas cylinders or passengers three times its weight and dimension, at an unspecified fare. After careful geometric calculations, children are folded and packed into these auto rickshaws until some children in the periphery are not in contact with the vehicle at all. Then their school bags are
Pushed into the microscopic gaps all round so those minor collisions with other vehicles
on the road cause  no permanent damage. Of course, the peripheral children are charged half the fare and also learn Newton's laws of motion enroute to school. Auto-rickshaw drivers follow the road rules depicted in the film Ben Hur, and are licensed to irritate.
Mopeds: The moped looks like an oil tin on wheels and makes noise like an electric shaver. It runs 30 miles on a teaspoon of petrol and travels at break-bottom speed. As the sides of the road are too rough for a ride, the moped drivers tend to drive in the middle of the road; they would rather drive under heavier vehicles instead of around them and are often "mopped" off the tarmac.
Leaning Tower of Passes: Most bus passengers are given free passes and during rush hours, there is absolute mayhem. There are passengers hanging off other passengers, who in turn hang off the railings and the overloaded bus leans dangerously, defying laws of gravity but obeying laws of surface tension. As drivers get paid for overload (so many
Rupees per kg of passenger), no questions are ever asked. Steer clear of these buses by a width of three passengers.
One-way Street: These boards are put up by traffic people to add jest in their otherwise drab lives. Don't stick to the literal meaning and proceed in one direction. In metaphysical terms, it means that you cannot proceed in two directions at once. So drive, as you like, in reverse throughout, if you are the fussy type. Least I sound hypercritical,
I must add a positive point also. Rash and fast driving in residential areas has been prevented by providing a "speed breaker"; two for each house.
This mound, incidentally, covers the water and drainage pipes for that residence and is left un-tarred for easy identification by the corporation authorities, should they  want to recover the pipe for year-end accounting.
Night driving on Indian roads can be an exhilarating experience (for those with the mental makeup of Chenghis Khan). In a way, it is like playing Russian roulette, because you do not know who amongst the drivers is loaded. What looks like premature dawn on the horizon turns out to be a truck attempting a speed record? On encountering it, just pull partly into the field adjoining the road until the phenomenon passes.
Our roads do not have shoulders, but occasional boulders. Do not blink your lights expecting reciprocation. The only dim thing in the truck is the driver, and with the peg of illicit arrack (alcohol) he has had at the last stop, his total cerebral functions add up to little more than a naught. Truck drivers are the James Bonds of India, and are licensed to kill. Often you may encounter a single powerful beam of light about six feet above the ground.
This is not a super motorbike, but a truck approaching you with a single light on, usually the left one. It could be the right one, but never get too close to investigate. You may prove your point posthumously. Of course, all this occurs at night, on the trunk roads.
During the daytime, trucks are more visible, except that the drivers will never show any Signal. (And you must watch for the absent signals; they are the greater threat). Only, you will often observe that the cleaner who sits next to the driver, will project his hand and wave hysterically. This is definitely not to be construed as a signal for a left-turn. The waving is just a statement of physical relief on a hot day.
If, after all this, you still want to drive in India, have your lessons between 8 pm and 11 am when the police have gone home and - The citizen is then free to enjoy the 'FREEDOM OF SPEED' enshrined in our constitution.
Having said all this isn't it true that the accident rate and related deaths are less in India compared to US or other countries. !!??

  • Just for fun:  Can you guess how I did this?

    A few months ago a thread here discussed different way to stroke 3D objects in After Effects.  There were lots of clever suggestions.
    I made a TV spot last week that uses growing 3D ribbons to spell out the 2012 in the product title.  There are straight planes and curves within the ribbon paths, and lighting and shadows were required to match the original album art it replicates.  I needed to get the job done quickly and didn't have time to use a 3D application, so I used (what I think) was a rather innovative approach.
    So, for a bit of fun, can you pick how I did this?  The project is created entirely in AE, in one composition. 
    Apologies for the heavy compression in the video.

    Thanks Todd!
    My first attempt was exactly Rick's, using stacked solids with Stroke applied.  I gave up on it because, once shadows were applied, the "ribbons" seemed to develop a mottled texture, presumeably because each layer in the stack casts a shadow on the layer behind it.  Using Rick's design above, here's an example:
    So in the end, I used text layers!  Each ribbon is simply a long string of Helvetica "I" characters, with their kerning pulled back so all the characters touch.  Convert to per-character 3D, rotate X axis 90 degrees, and apply mask as text path.  Then I use a simple Text Animator on opacity to draw the lines on or off. 
    The great advantage of this is no cumbersome stack of layers.  Each colour is one layer, so there's just five layers in my comp for each object. The "20" is one object, then the "1", then the "2" - 15 layers in all for the whole thing.  Changing colours is as easy as changing a single text layer.
    A total render hog, all the same:  it took 11 hours to render the 15 second spot, on an 8 core Mac Pro with 16GB of RAM.  But in 3D Draft mode the comp was surprisingly easy to work with.  It's just the lighting and shadows that slow things down.
    Anyways, perhaps this may inspire someone else to do something interesting with text layers. 

  • I donated, but keep seeing requests for donations - could you find a way for me to check and see when I last donated?

    I am glad to donate, but every time I see another request to donate, I feel like I need to do so again - my stuff! It would be helpful if it were possible to find out when I donated last, so I won't feel so guilty. Is that too difficult to accomplish?

    Mozilla doesn't track contributors, or when contributors make a donation. The current campaign is 2014 E-O-Y, so if fund raising goals have been met, the requests for donations should end by the next weekend.

  • How do I set up a wifi hot spot in my house just for me?

    How do I set up a wifi hot spot in my house just for me?

    You can't use the wifi card to do both connect to a wifi network and then use the wifi card as a wifi hotspot. You'll need to connect the mac by ethernet and then you can set the wifi card as a hotspot.

  • Just For You   -  where is it???  I can't find it today!

    I've found iTunes 'Just For You' match feature to be invaluable when looking for some new songs. I never give "What's Hot" a glance, I don't care much for Staff Favorites, and New Releases often has a bunch of garbage....
    ..but Just For You rocks! Today I log onto the iTunes music store and can't find it! Is there some way to access it if it's not on the front Music page?

    I logged on today to checkout what's Just For Me, and buy some music.
    Instead, I'm quitting iTunes without having bought anything....oh well!

  • How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did?

    Using MYsql How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did. There are many titles to the different charities that is under the othpaytitle of the Otherpay table,  I however just want to extract the non-contributors for a particular charity title. Is there anyway to do this? When I do the the syntax below it comes up as an "empty set". The search is done by way of the table Id matching and left joins. Please see below.
    SELECT  moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, sum(otherpay.othpayamt) as NO_Contribution, quadlt.ltfname as quad 
    FROM name 
    LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY  ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
    LEFT JOIN quadlt  ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
    WHERE  Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
    AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
    AND name.type = 'BOI'
    AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
    AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
    GROUP BY brother
    ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother

    Just guessing based on your query,  and assuming the above query works, just insert a "where" condition. I also removed the SUM function. Also, "AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL"  may not be needed.
    SELECT  moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, otherpay.othpayamt, quadlt.ltfname as quad
    FROM name 
    LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY  ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
    LEFT JOIN quadlt  ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
    WHERE  Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
    AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
    AND name.type = 'BOI'
    AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
    AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
    AND othpayamt=0
    ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother

  • I can't find film on my Ipad that I paid for on rental. I am using iOS 8.1 which I just downloaded. I cant find a rental tab in my Video App

    I can't find film on my Ipad that I paid for on rental from ITune.  I am using iOS 8.1 which I just downloaded. I cant find a rental tab in my Video App

    Clear Safari, then force close Safari and finally reset your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    Now close Safari. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • What happend to "just for you" in the iTunes Store?

    This may be a stupid question...but I just downloaded the update (iTunes 9) and can't seam to figure out how to find the "Just For You" catagory. It used the Genius info from my library to find new music that I may enjoy. I LOVE that feture and purchase a good bit of my music that way. I'm sure it has to be there....if not iTunes will slow my pruchase rate big time.

    I answered the question myself not one minute after I posted. I was looking from the "Home" page of the Store...once I clicked on the "music" tab..there it was...maybe this was on the homepage before?

  • Hi. I just downloaded "angry birds" from the iTunes store. It says it was successfully downloaded and that I can use it on the two mac products I have. I can see an icon for it in the finder on the mac, but I can't figure out how to play the game. Anyone?

    Thank you for your reply. After a lot of fruitless searches, I hit on a page that offered the same wisdom you did. I feel like rather a fool for not knowing that. Grr. I really appreciate your answer, and that you didn't end it with "dummy." Cheers to you. Hope someone does something kind for you today.

  • What happened the the "Just For You" section?

    Can't find it anywhere, even in the preferences. Is itunes updating things again?

    Hello Danny R,
    I understand that when you open the iTunes Store, the "Just For You" option is missing from your iTunes Page. I realize this may be concerning and I will be happy to assist you today.
    As a result of overwhelming demand this holiday season--demand that surpassed even Apple's expectations-- some of the Store Features are temporarily disabled. These features include the following:
    Complete My Album
    My Alerts
    iTunes Plus upgrades (iTunes Plus purchases will continue to work)
    Just for You
    iMix searches
    As you have noticed, these features have temporarily disappeared from the iTunes Store but all features should be back, approximately, by December 27, 2007.
    I do apologize for any inconvenience this issue has caused. The iTunes Store appreciates your business and loyalty. Thank you for your understanding, Dan.
    Happy Holidays!
    Warmest Regards,
    Aileen

    I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now.  Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it.  I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
    Outlook is still not working.  Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

    Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
    It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.
