Don't remind me, I'm trying to forget it. I'm never, ever, going to put coffee in perfectly good brandy ever again. Not even in bad brandy. Now, before you go all withdrawn and grumpy on my again, what would you say to a nice glass of hot chocolate before bed? I'll make it.

Oh. Is that what it is? I always wondered what a professionalisim was. From the way you always talk about it and nobody else ever does, I had pretty much decided it must be the thing that makes your hair go grey and your knees all wobbly in the mornings.

Tannin never looks at girls. If she hasn't got feathers, he's not interested. Well, except sometimes when she is waving a credit card around and he wants to sell her a new computer. But even then I think he only manages to look interested out of habit.

Damn it Tannin, now look what you've done. Gone and made another one! Can't you let anyone stay fun-loving and cheerful?

TANNIN!

Well, Tannin?

Thanks, Tannin. That should do it nicely.

Reality check? One fresh-off-the-grill reality check coming right up, Sir. Tannin, pass me over that reality check please.

Hey, Tannin? Hmm? When you buy a Mac, who do you buy it from? Huh? You know I'm not a sanctimonious loonie. Well, not that particular sort anyway, I use real computers. We don't buy Macs, Tea. Never have. You know that. It never does to predict the future too confidently. but I don't suppose...

How come Storage Forum has been here for six years and I'm still only 7? I joined when I was 7! Not fair.

Dave, you are getting into that object-oriented stuff. I've warned you about this stuff before. Look, it's OK if you smoke it now and then, but on no account are you to shoot it or shove it up your ars..... um .... bottom, OK? And only on weekends.

Quite right. I generally yodel while wrapping. Tannin just gibbers quietly.

What is a Christmas?

All of them. I'm serious. I can't think of one single thing that's better in Vista as compared with XP. I'm sure there are one or two minor things, but I can't actually bring an example to mind.

Really really?

On second thoughts, I really dislike Vista, so I better vote twice. (483)

Did I vote yet? Make that 482 posts.

Did you write that yourself, .NUT? Sounds awfully familiar. Rather like .... like a link YOU posted right here on SF.

.NUT, haven't you heard? You are not allowed to be on Mars!

Level 48 is hard!

I hope that you will live a long and happy life then David, especially the "long" part, which you'll need as I doubt that Tannin would adopt "dude" as part of his lexicon anytime this century. It seems to be, in his mind (well, whatever it is that Tannin has which sometimes passes for a mind if...

Pointless to argue about the look of a camera? Or pointless to argue with Udaman? (runs and hides)

A big, sloppy monkey-kiss for you from me, Gilbo. Me, I'm pretty a forgiving and easygoing sort of ape (ask anyone - I live in Tannin's head, right? I have to be easy-going or else I'd go nuts. Errr ... I mean nutser) but I have to say you have ... well ... .... not exactly made Tannn...

Why have they got the steering wheel on the wrong side?

Is there any chance that Gilbo will learn how to spell lens one day? It's L E N S repeat L E N S. This is not optional, variant, or up to the human, there is only one way to spell lens, and that is without an "e" on the end. It's driving me barmy!

Yuk!

Sorry. I forgot.

What's wrong with fuzzmonkeys?

Except me!

Why is it that nobody ever talks about a short rant? I mean, you can have a well-earned rest, how about a badly-earned rest? Everyone talks about a long, cold beer ... how about a short, warm beer? Any takers? Someone you don't like is always a total a-hole, right? So who do you know that is...

Now that's not true. I mean, yes, I have been known to drink rum, gin, vodka, and tequila now and then, but never in large quantitities. I mean, don't most people drink rum, gin, vodka, and tequila?

Last year, or the year before, Howell, when I was about 5.

Well ..... you know me .... I'm a very healthy sort of ape. Plenty of exercise, fresh air, build good kharma (err ... well mostly), lots of tree-hugging (sort or inevitable when you like to climb things), and my diet pays strict attention to the Five Food Groups. (In case you have forgottten...

stupid human you know he only pretends that coding is so easy because I'm around to help him with the tricky bits most of the work none of the credit sigh same as usual and people wonder why I drink

I had an intellectual once, but I took it back to the shop because it used too much juice.

Sorry ... must have seen something shiny. Happens to me all the time, Mangy One. Yes, it did get resolved, sort of. Two different ways. 1: The football season ended, meaning that there was no longer any requirement for uTorrent .... at least not till next year, anyway. 2: The Soup Nazi says...

Only yours.

What Tannin means, Tim, is because he didn't think of doing it that way. Hey, you know Tannin - why do something the easy way when you can do it the hard way?

Whooah! Who's the grumpy one today then?

Ha! Gotcha!

How many Sigma, Tamron and Tokina lenses have you used, Tannin?

sorry

sorry I juzt wanted to be part of the converzation. sorry

Well, approximately, about, roughly ... zero, or if you want me to be exact, none.

Err .... let me think for a minute ...... (counts on fingers) Hang on ..... Do you need to know exactly, or just approximately?

Bahh, Tannin, you are a fool. I have never, ever taken a decent picture with a Tamron, Sigma or Tokina lens. Not once. Ever.

Now there is a darn good idea, Mangy One! I have to rush off (helping Tannin plant another 5000 trees with the Regent Honeyeater Project up Benalla way this weekend - Tannin has been laid up with the 'flu, or possiby the black death, for the last week or so, so he's a bit weak and tottery and...

Sounds like we are on the right track. Thanks Merc, I'll play with some different routers first, then, and after that (if need be) just build an extra machine for a while, which will do what I need for the next couple of weeks while I am bandwidth limited at home. I'll look at a 'nix machine...

0: Should be the very straightforward matter of forwarding the port twice That's what I'd have thought. Done it a zillion different ways, can't get anywhere. 1. Put the PC on your second router's DMZ. Does the Netgear even have a DMZ? What are the security implications of doing this? 2. Plug...

I want to forward a port on a work system. Tried lots of things, but can't figure it out. The system sits behind two routers, a Smoothwall, and then a little Linksys thing. I've port forwarded through an identical Linksys router at home no worries, and I've tried plugging the target machine...
