Return to the Planet of the "Hey Euro's its that time again" Thread.

Oi oi after jumping through a bunch of hoops and doing the yearly "quality assurance qualification bollocks" (tm) I'm now officially green lighted to get on with my marking (which may be sitting in a pile already completed :embarrassed: )

Off for a bollocksing pint :grin:

Afternoon Trident-builders :Wave:

My only gripe with trident is the name, it would be much cooler if it was an actual big fuck off trident we got some roided up maddie to throw at our enemies.

Sturgeon took a bit of a doing in the debate last night I hear. Something like an £8 billion deficit they can't explain away if the Barnett formula was scrapped n favour of full fiscal autonomy :eek:

Anyways speaking or prudency I just bought a barbecue out of Aldi. If it doesn't blow me up I shall spend tomorrow making steaks out the back because it's fecking roasting here.

And on that note I'm away in to town to source a beer garden :thu:
 
noon tossers :Wave:

The GF and daughter were away with the GF's parentsfor the weekend, so I had the house all to myself. Spent time sleeping, eating, drinking and recording music :eek:

I am 7 minutes in the first doom track, when's a good time to stop you reckon? I am aiming for 20 minutes. :rawk:
 
Holy shit, just filled in my taxes for 2014. Looks like I'm going to get an absolute shitload of money (for my standards at least :embarrassed: )back. That would be quite welcome, since I quit my job in july I've mostly seen money flow out and living in Finland ain't free :embarrassed:

I'm going to ask my dad to check for me tonight though, don't wanna mess up and be fucked later on... My dutch reading skills in general and especially the horrible wording tax offices choose to use is getting very rusty.
 
Morning all

Tax rebates are great! We use an organization to do ours. Yes you have to pay them 150 euro or something but you just turn up with all your crap and receipts etc and some bloke does it all in minutes and tells you how to get even more back.

Im a lazy git so its great for me.
 
Morning, all. wave0

I never get tax rebates, just tax bills. I never look forward to that time of the year.

On another note, feck me, this whole visa thing is causing me so much stress it isn't even funny. We're still waiting for a single bank statement from the UK that has to be presented to the visa officer guy before it is 28 days old. We've now been waiting for it for almost 3 weeks (as I may have mentioned before, they will only send it standard snail mail).
 
Morning all :Wave:
:facepalm: at all bureaucrats everywhere! I'm currently dealing with the ma-in-law's estate and the business of selling our house and buying my bro-in-law's half of her house. None of it is even the tiniest bit complicated, just mind-numbingly dull and ridiculously time-consuming.
 
Morning all. wave0

@ColourofFire, I'd have guessed at a signed/unsigned integer conflict but that result is actually 1015 from 2 to 32 not just 15 from it. What was the issue?

It's some java based code for a hardware/electronics interface. It was doing interval calculations in milliseconds, using unsigned long's, comparing the current milliseconds with the ones at startup of a sequence. For some reason the currentMillis value would update (and the serial monitor would display it accurately), but use the old value for the actual calculation or someting. Really weird. In the end the fix was easy, just update currentmillis in every if statement, but it took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on. I guess the high number comes from subtraction below zero. It's a nice interface to use, but it has some crazy quirks that make programming for it very frustrating, especially when you're under time pressure.
 
Have accepted an offer on our house. Looks like everything is going to happen far quicker than we thought, which isn't necessarily a good thing; we stand a very good chance of spending a couple of months living in a building site. Deep joy.
