Karoshi 過労死 … Yep Work too hard, you die

Now, here I was, minding my own business reading the Japan Times Newspaper online, when I came across this weird article about people, who, apparently, work so hard, that they die. And guess what, there’s even a website dedicated to those who suffer from it.. Death by working too Hard.  I mean, how odd….

Still, look at how amazingly strong Japan grew after the war, and how dedicated they are as workers… 12 hour days are perfectly normal.

Oh well..

Meg Tilly….

Ok, I dont know the name of the movie, but the other lead is the gal out of that tv show “The L Word”

now, im not going to tell you what i just watched.

🙂

Oh Yea.

Breathing and the Internet

If it wasn’t enough, that breathing became annoying, now, people choose to not breath while online. Ok, this is interesting. Why, you may ask, would someone online, not want to breath… well… i worked it out.

I believe, its because they forget that IRL you need air..

What does this all mean…. nothing really. I’m just bored watching Meg Tilly in some weird movie about humping lesbians.

Still.. Meg Tilly is fun.

I’m fun, though not allowed any nice lesbians.

go figure.

Good advice about buying stuff and expectations

Don’t buy crap and you’ll get reasonable results. Don’t be unreasonable with your expectations or you’ll get crappy results.

I Got told this today, well, a friend emailed it to me from somewhere, and I thought it made perfectly good sense.

Thankyou , who ever thought it up. 🙂

Bluetooth and Wifi problems… YES!

Often asked, does Bluetooth and Wifi cause problems for eachother ?
YES!!

Both Bluetooth and the Wi-Fi A/P’s use the same 2.4 hz range, the worst being bluetooth as it channel hops all over the place within that frequency range. Wifi is fairly good, but where you have both devices types running, the bluetooth will cause problems with your wifi. My example is as follows:

I have a laptop using Wifi for my network/internet connection.

I have a bluetooth dongle for my mouse and stereo headset.

If i unplug the bluetooth, the wifi bursts back into amazing life, if i plug the BT back in again.. it all grinds to a hault.

My partner can be a few meters away from me on their laptop using wifi, and my bluetooth will cause problems for them also.

The strength of your Wifi plays an important part in this also, as the new G format is a lot better then a/b in dealing with it, but.. if your signal strength sits below about 40%, it will start to fail.

Answer:

Don’t use bluetooth, or get a really really good Wifi unit 🙂

I know, it sucks, but it’s all over the internet about proven problems with these two. Keep in mind, that Microwaves and most modern wireless phones cause problems also, as they all run within the 2.4 spectrum.

There you go.

Enjoy.

thar be a whole 🙂
