  1. Thought I'd ask for advice before I start playing around with this.

    I use Dropbox on my work and home computers to store work files so I can work in either place easily.

    My problem is my home PC is running low on space on C: drive so I want to move the Dropbox folder to a different drive as it holds a lot of files with drawings etc

    Dropbox web site recommends keeping it on the same drive as the OS but this may not be practical for me. The different drive is internal so would be available when the machine is on.

    Has anyone done this and is it easy or are there complications?

  2. I have a FaceAche account with just my three sons as contacts so I can keep in touch with them when they go travelling etc. I must admit it has been very useful while my youngest has been deployed in Afghan but I'm with Techno - if it disappeared, meah!

     

    Same goes for Twatter (sorry Mike!) opened an account for a laugh a couple of years ago and finally remembered to close it this week!

  3. Well, played a few games on the beta (sorry for kicking the invites back Ryan but I prefer looking a twat in private on a new game :) )

     

    Preferred it without vehicles after proving I can't drive an APV for toffee

     

    Thought, yeah not a bad game I suppose.........

     

    Then Mike's post about dedi servers for Ghosts..........oooohhhh!!??

     

    How does that make people feel? Obviously the proof of the pudding is in the eating but it certainly makes the menu more interesting!! :)

  4. Flip side of the coin vs. the grinding gears thread I feel we need a positive story outlet. It might be misconstrued into a "cool story bro" brag post thread but I'm chill with it because I like hearing other peoples triumphs, any size, be them personal, professional, financial or otherwise. < That rhymes :lol: At times reading about others good fortune picks me up if I'm feeling down. Like Bees winning loot on scratchies. Thats awesome!

     

     

    I’ll start by sharing: last night I officially converted from oil to natural gas as my primary heating fossil fuel. I’ve been in my house 4 years last month and the rising cost of oil has shit hammered me into investing in an alternative. Our oil boiler, which did heat and hot water - I have radiator heat, was running well below 70% efficiency. I got a Rinnai combi unit that does both heat and hot water at 95% efficiency. Which is awesome because if we’re using hot water it will only fire up for what we use and then turn off; also it will burn at a lower percentage if we aren’t hard on the hot water. The old boiler burned at 100% every time it kicked on. My plumber was curious so I got my pay slips and calculated it cost me $4,800 in oil last year. I never let the tank get below 1/2 so sludge wouldn’t get sucked through the line, clog the filter and have me stinking like oil for 2 days because I had to do minor maintenance, but in the winter I was calling every month for deliveries. Now I don’t have to call anyone! Very excited and can’t wait to see what the savings will be! Ill post a pic soon of the boiler…

    And if you can get weather compensation controls.....happy days!
