Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My hubbys brother & wife had their 1st baby this morning at 1:20, just over 4 weeks early so he is only 4lb 13oz but hasn't had to go to the special care unit and is amazingly cute! A new wee cousin for my 2 boys, sooooooooo happy for them.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent :tu: :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ah so glad that all went well :D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's great. :D

My youngest was 4lb 6oz and had to spend a couple of nights in SCBU as his temperature was low.

Taller than me now... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is great that he has survived and now is a healthy grown man

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

This is sad, but..

After several years of trying, they finally moved my work email account to exchange. I resisted because, frankly, Outlook on the PC is a bloated pile of crap, and Entourage on OSX (which I have to use), is worse. So, I resisted.

Now, however, they have moved me over and I am loving it. Mac Mail handles Exchange pretty well (certainally better than Entourage), and I have a couple of bonuses.

1) Server side mail filtering. I get emails from a lot of mailing lists (as part of my job), so I have quite a few filters to sort those into different folders. With server side filtering, I set the filters up once rather than on every client.

2) If I need to set an out-of-office message, I can do so using a wizard rather than a fiddly sequence of commands, or asking a colleague.

3) The best one: The Exchange server is not accessible outside the Uni, so even if I wanted to, I can't use my mail client at home to check my work mail. I can use webmail, but prefer not to.

We had a lovely holiday in Texas. Plenty music & really hot weather. Now I can think back happy thoughts. Good to be back on the board

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So pleased for you gurl. Welcome back :) :hugs:
What music did you catch?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Mostly Texas Traditional country music & rockabilly. Everyone was so kind. One band member picked us up from the hotel & took us out of town where they were playig at a dance & took us back to the hotel afterward, It was magic We met friends that we knew from the last time & we all enjoyed nights out together. I wish I could have stayed longer.

I hope things have been ok with you since I was away.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Are they using OWA for the webmail? If so you can usally use RPC over HTTP to access the server from the mail client when outside the internal network. I don't know what clients other than outlook support this, if any.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Welcome back Nashvile and so glad you had a really lovely holiday. Glad to have you back again :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You groupie ;) :D

So glad you had a good time.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Last bit is a joke:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Go get sleep while you can :D
So pleased for you all.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No need to as He is already going about 4/5 hours between feeds:D We must be lucky:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ty seems a contented baby in a contented surrounding. So pleased for you all.
Go and do dinner for your missus :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks all for your congrats & well wishes, they are being monitored closely but doing brilliantly.

Ty is a brilliant name!! Honestly, I'm not at all biased as my 6 month old is called Ty ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So glad he is doing so well and Ty is a really good name :D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you and I guess you are not biased with the name:erm::D:D:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Natalie and I have been going out for Three years today - and I still feel very fluffy about that.

See I CAN still have the odd happy thought :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Your posts always cheer me up :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is so romantic. Happy anniversary to you both Dilli https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/06/55.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Romantic - me? - Noooo

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You are so romantic and Nat is so lucky to have you and her you. :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got myself the HTC Desire S phone yesterday, so far I'm very impressed. Better still I dropped my tarrif by almost a tenner a month for the same minutes, texts and data AND the phone was free :D

Even better than that i got £84 for my old iPhone = RESULT ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm seriously thinking of getting the Desire s for £15 a month contract but would rather get it sim free but it is so expensive still.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Its good Snoopz, I seriously can't stop playing with it :shocked:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Did you have to quote. it would have been so much better :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Right on cue! ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just got back from cycling the CTC (sea to sea) cycle tour. 140 miles from Whitehaven to Tynemouth through the Lake District and over the Pennines. Did it in four days, which I think was pretty good considering we were on hybrids and carrying our luggage in panniers.

Managed to do my knee in on a steep climb on day 1, so day 2 was uncomfortable, day 3 involved lots of pushing my bike uphill, and day 4 (the easiest supposedly), sheer agony trying to power through the pins and needles in the knee. Wifey was smarter in doing more walking on day 1 and raced past me on day 3 and 4.

Made it though. Need to start thinking about the next challenge :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one hope you did not suffer to much.

I would think twice about calling the missus Wifey if you care to google it.:shocked:;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yay - cleared a space for the new bed. Just got go wait for it to arrive now and hopefully put it together before Natalie arrives :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So why are you still signed in :D
Get that double/king size douvet out and put the cover on it.
Have fun :hugs:
And listen to Celine and whatever else she wants because, despite your denial, I also believe that you have a wealth of romanticism in you. :) ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is all built, made and even has a couple of roses on it. She's due in about an hour :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Brilliant!
Now make sure you're sweet-smelling and ready with that kiss that will suprise her - and if she wants to play Celine then let her :D

So happy for you Dilli :)

And get off your PC - she won't appreciate you giving everyone an update :D :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hmmm. Tempted...

I'm not going to let some porn site steal the Wifey crown though. My Wifey's the only one. As it should be. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm taking my Nephew (7) and Niece (10) on a weeks holiday in late August.

My Brother In-law said "Good Luck" :D

Oh yeah, I'm dragging my mum to help.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Back up for you:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Having a nice weekend away in North Yorkshire with the family - lots of walking, lots of good food and drink, intermittent wifi :-)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Anywhere good particular as we are off to York and Keighley tomorrow.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh please do not venture in to South Yorkshire:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A bit further north - Pickering (place called 17 Burgate), but we are having a meal at the Downe Arms in Wykeham at the moment.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh Yes.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I built a new desk today too. Yay !

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Never mind that! How's the bed? ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is very comfortable and didn't collapse :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Woohoo! Result :D

I'm assuming you gave it a good 'test drive' ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am the owner of a HTC Desire S (well when its delivered Tusday/Wednesday), all I need is a decent Genuine HTC case them I'm even happier.

Also my contract was extended until the end of August.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one mate! Did you buy from buymobilephones.net like you said you would for £15.21 a month? as i've kinda chickened out getting it from them, plus i can possibly get £80.80 cash back from T Mobile using topcashback.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yeah it was from them.

---------- Post added at 19:09 ---------- Previous post was at 18:54 ----------

They also did the Desire HD for the same, but I've heard the battery life is crap.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You made the right choice. I went with the Desire S after following the advise of some of the guys on here and don't regret it one bit.

It is a little more battery heavy than my old nokia but even with wifi on constant, syncing every 15 mins during the day, 30 mins @ night and a fair bit of internet, email and game playing (Angry Birds) as well as actually making calls on it lol and I still get 2 days plus between charges. Its very responsive and the amount of free apps available is mind boggling.

Have Fun


Phil :cool:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I hate the Desire HD is feels so heavy and large and hard to hold, i fancy the Sensation.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

After more than three weeks virgin / BT are finally sending an engineer tomorrow to sort out my internet,

Well that's the plan I just have to hope they turn up and fix the problem.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

and hope that it isnt internal wiring or an equipment problem, as you get charged for that :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is neithe of those things it's the BT server rejecting the password.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

This is really good.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just turned up at a well-known technology company's London HQ for a update briefing at 5:30pm, and the first thing they do when I got to the 5th floor is to offer me a cold beer - I like their style...:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good for you

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My cisco and junos books arrived today... time to start studying!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is now sorted :) - I'm back on the pc posting ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A well-known Search Engine provider has just kindly given me a Motorola Xoom - I will hug it and squeeze it and love it and pet it, and I will call it George.

Ooooh - shiny! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Jealous!!!:p:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Do you work for FIFA? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

my back is not so sore today, however my head is battered

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ok, I'll ask.

why would Google give you a Motorola Xoom?

I know it's not because you're special.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

They apparently have a different opinion to you....... ;)

btw, this was sent from my xoom. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I had second thoughts anyway. I think you're special too :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Getting back on a horse soon after many years of um... not going trekking. Wish I'd kept my kit :(

Will do - I've never let go yet even when thrown, and running backwards at speed and hoping I wouldn't get trampled ;)
I'm hoping for a simple hack. Failing that I'll pull and enjoy the scenery whilst stationary :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Today I bought a barker and stonehouse wicker bed from ebay for the princly sum of sixty quid. I fixed my drill (which only seemed to want to go in reverse) I've downloaded oodles of cisco and junos stuff. I had homemade kung po for tea and now im watching the excellent shadow line

5 week's Monday to my holiday in the Lake District, I can't wait,
it will be so good to get away and re-focus.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Mr Murray and his racket just made me smile and applaud.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The time will go really fast until you go, the only problem is then that the holiday passes just as quickly. Still a break away is always a welcome treat. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It will be so welcome Jo, I'll start counting down in hour's as it get's closer LOL :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is so good Tosh and the time is flying to your holiday. I hope you have the best time ever as you so deserve it and It's also so good to see you so positive as well. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
