  1. I keep feeling like I'm cross-eyed too. Basically my symptoms are sickness, slightly duff ear, hypersensitivity to sounds/noises/whining/fans.. I'm turning everything off.. dimmer switches not on full, dvd players with disks left in them spinning, etc. But when I'm driving, I'm aware that I feel like I'm going totally cross-eyed. Like I'm frowning x100000 or something. So then I try to un-frown/uncross and it's sort of OK but not right. I hope and reckon it's just my ear causing it, and I need to get some contacts 'cause I only wear my glasses for driving, and basically can't see very well other than that so all the work that I do on computers is squinted.
  2. I do think my right ear is still not right inside though, and look what Wikipedia says.. I'm feeling positive now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinthitis
  3. I will happily try this, but sometimes it seems hard to eat healthily. I had peas with my toad in the hole last night, and I ate all my cauliflower, broccoli and something else with the Sunday lunch, but other than that not many/any fruit and veg since. Baked beans don't count I suppose?
  4. I had a bad ear infection about two weeks ago, for which I was given antibiotics at the local drop-in hospital on a Sunday morning. I didn't mention this to my doc. I'm still feeling well and truly weird and sick/panicy but I don't think my ear has cleared up fully. I have been thinking that perhaps what's wrong with me is that the ringing in my ears is sending me "on one" because it's panic like stuff, rather than the ringing in my ears being a symptom of something else. So anyway, I just googled "ear infection stress anxiety" and the results look promising. I'm looking forward to seeing the Doc tomorrow and hoping she'll say "ah, yes. we just need to fix your ear and you'll be fine". Fingers crossed.
  5. It had me laughing a lot. My stomach was hurting
  6. LOL. That lead me onto this: e63EY3-VH04

    Im very upset

    Post a picture of the headlight.
  8. Spirits of Salt (stong hydrochloric acid) or stong sodium hydroxide (lye) is the usual stuff, and should eat through most things.
  9. anxiolytics or SSRIs, or just getting over it. It tends to be down to thought habits really. My problem is that I have a history with benzos and every SSRI/SNRI under the sun after my bong smoking teenage years, so for me to start feeling funny again 5 - 6 years later just starts alarm bells of "oh shit it's all coming back again" which isn't good.
  10. meh. it's funny you bring this up. I seem to have turned to shit since Thursday night when I was in a right funny state and haven't felt at all well since. Went to see the Doc this morning as I thought it could be the Zopiclone I'd been taking for a few weeks but she thinks not.
  11. http://www.global-export.jp/stocks/public_stock_detail.php?entry=0040.dat&model=dept1 Seems a lot of money for the sake of some body kit.
  12. I have a red Civic Type-S diesel. I like it, except for the FWD when setting off in a hurry, but apart from that it ticks all the right boxes. My average economy over the last 1,700 miles is 40.3mpg. She's keeping it reasonably tidy, but she can't seem to get the hang of using the ashtray instead of the window, so it always looks like it has a dandruff problem down the driver's door. Me too. Ew
  13. If that's how you want to do it, then it's like that but you need to turn on Internet connection sharing as I explained above. What you are doing is turning the personal laptop into a NAT router. In effect it shouldn't be any different to a purpose made 3G router like the Drayteks with their USB port. Not all USB dongles work in all routers though.
  14. Yeah. You could use PWD_CHNG.EXE from a boot floppy to reset the local admin account, but you'd still any have policies in place.
  15. I meant right-click -> advanced -> "allow other network users to connect through this blah", and choose the LAN/Wifi connection below, that being whichever network is connecting the computers together.
  16. Network Connections -> Right click the 3G connection -> Sharing -> Share this connection. Choose whichever as the LAN connection (LAN or Wifi). Simple as that really. This computer will then do DHCP and NAT and assign IP addresses from a 192.168.1.x pool to the other computers. If you're using Wifi you'd want to turn off DHCP on the router there, or just use an ethernet cable and temporarily switch off wifi. Might not need to be an x-over.. many NICs are auto MDI/MDI-X (auto crossover) nowadays.
  17. That's the missus in my car. You're the chap around the corner from my mum's house remember I see your motor parked on Button lane quite a lot. It's looking great since you got rid of that Veilsnide stuff
  18. It was extremely easy to get xRDP (through vnc server.. it's OK though trust me ) working. I literally just launched xrdp and sesman from a console and it worked. No services, no config changes (except making sure vncserver was installed). Some brief tips here.
  19. It works very well over low bandwidth connections. That's NX's absolute best quality - efficiency. You don't have to use FreeNX to get it for free. Nomachine also give you their proprietary (the original/proper system whose GPL libraries/code FreeNX is wrapped around) NX system for free (to use) as well on a limited number of connections basis. I still think xRDP is a bit more interesting, and besides, NX has been as-is for years now and nobody has taken hold of it and tied it into a distribution or anything. All the distributions still seem to use VNC for "Remote Desktop". At least xRDP is working with the LTSP project. I was blown away by NX when I first tried it, but I still think I'm more impressed to see RDP on X, and as I say, I don't like how NX seems to use lossy compression on text. On images I can understand, but it looks to me like text is jpeg-ized as well (actually the whole screen it looks like sometimes). I know you can alter between PNG compression and all sorts of other stuff, so maybe it's a moot point ..
  20. Ah, I was going to ask if it was just ssh X forwarding. I do the same to administer my server. I just do: "ssh -X root@myserver" then when the remote shell prompt comes up I can launch gimp, system-config-network , etc.. Never tried playing videos though X is high bandwidth though, so it doesn't help with remote access. But it is extremely cool to see an app running on another machine look as though it's running locally, with no expensive products making it happen.
  21. I've used NX, both the proprietary implementation and FreeNX, and xRDP is better, IMO It's pretty easy to get it going too. NX makes the entire screen look like it's been jpeg-ized, i.e. lossy compression. RDP does a nicer job. RDP clients are everywhere and very light. NX requires an X server on the client.
  22. That's impressive then. I was of the impression (more assumption) that LTSP was just using VNC? I know that would be Xvnc, so nicely integrated into the X server, but still I expected crap performance and laggy mouse-cursor. Is that not the case then? xRDP looks good, and has some involvement in LTSP somewhere: http://www.css-networks.com/2008/09/linux-as-an-rdp-remote-desktop-protocol-server.html
  23. Seriously badass isn't it, and it sounds like what you're looking to achieve, and everybody else in an ideal world.. I had a customer yesterday who wanted "no computers on desks, but a big server in the cellar". I explained about terminal services and that he wouldn't be able to go onto RedTube or anything, but that he's not alone and this thing Solid ICE fits the bill, but it's cutting edge, really cutting edge - i.e. the answer is no for now.
  24. Have you seen the SolidICE videos? RedHat recently bought them out so there's a possibility the technology will be open sourced in the future. S4DZwYqnyJM
