Nice people thread part 7 - a thread in its prime

LydiaJ

Am I right in thinking that there are other NP who use sandboxie? I usually use chrome with sandboxie for most things, and IE without sandboxie for banking, to keep things separate. But now chrome with sandboxie is not working at all - it acts as though it has loaded the page, but in fact the screen is blank apart from toolbars etc. Any advice, please?

I hate them.

Mine's nicer... but if you don't like those, then seeing mine wouldn't make that much difference as they're in the same vein: seaside, oils.

I have a couple of originals by this bloke http://www.foundrygallery.co.uk/#/david-dyer/4530098335
Bought for £10 each while on holiday 15+ years ago. He died in 2006.

Good decision

I like abstracts. I am consistently getting the sizes wrong

100 square too big, it is now in the hall

80 x 100 totally wrong shape, now in bedroom

60 x60 , loved this one abstract city landscape. Too small, now on other wall

80 x80 good size, greek mythology thingy. Hated it, now in spare room

Pastures - life seems to have turned a corner for you - Patio windows, furniture,t'internet,new friends and sunshine. :j:T

Long may it continue. Really pleased for you

And it turns out an art collection.

I have to say I could live with PNs pics but could only look on WSs once in a while - may be something for the spare room?

Talking to a colleague late last week, it seems nobody where I work's had any form of a rise for over 5 years now. Not looking good for the flimsy promises written into my offer letter, which mentioned trial/review/rise. Most hot air spouted at interviews disappears.... priority 1: rebuild empire.

i had 2 freezes in a row, but we got about 3% last year. i think we'll be frozen again this year and my bonus will be half what it was last year. great...

When I applied for the job, before interview they asked "how much do you want", so I gave a laughable/low range (half my 'worth') and they took me on at the lowest part of that range

On the other hand, it's proved I am employable for somebody and it's paying my rent.

i think i prefer mountains to beaches. actually i don't really mind anything, and could probably manage with abstracts (although pref not as loud as the one wageslave posted!). what i can't cope with is what some of our friends have up - which is massive black and white pictures of their children which are blown up to about twice life size. they freak me out.

I notice Chrome had a big update earlier this afternoon.

My theme changed and was set to open a Google search page along with my home page on start.

These things often get addressed within a couple of days of updates.

Does Sandboxie eliminate the need to use CCleaner to keep your browser fast?

Yeah - can't be having with pics of self or family although DW puts up kids school pics.

Haven't had anything for 3 years and of course had 2 day week last year. Also no 'in band' experience increments like big organisations have so no rise = no rise.
