Frustrated

[caddyman]

Excuse me while I bang my head on the table in frustration.

Ten days ago I bought myself a dongle (that word still makes me laugh) precisely so I can write documents at work or at home and then transfer them from one place to the other - or rather, keep them with me so I can fiddle with them when I get near a computer that's elsewhere.

I keep forgetting. This means that I keep emailing the buggers back and forth, and that means that sometimes they get lost. Like tonight, for instance. Before I left the office I emailed myself a bit of NWO stuff to play with back here. I hasn't arrived yet. It's sitting somewhere on a server in transit. It may arrive in ten seconds, ten minutes, ten days, ten years or never.

I have an earlier version on my home PC, but do not feel inclined to try and recreate what I typed in my lunchtime today when I know it's on the computer in the office.

MUST REMEMBER TO PUT DONGLE IN POCKET (Fnar).

Use it as a key ring, or something else you are likely to remember as you leave.
Although (b) forgetting and (a) it being a keyring could be unfortunate.....

Attach it to your key ring.

Bright Idea!

Get another Dongle so that you have one at work and one at home...

...Of course you'll need to find one made using QERAM*

*Alas, Quantum Entanglement is currently only good for a few qbits, so you'll have to wait awhile for a 128 MB version

Your bright ideas do not resemble our Earth bright ideas.

I got one of the first dongles and felt really dirty looking for a dongle on ebay!!

Or you could wear it round your neck, like a woggle.
Or get two and make cufflinks.
Then write a book "101 uses for a dongle."

dongle? is that the same as a memory stick/ flash card? LOL - never heard it be called that before. : )

(that's cos a dongle is strictly something else)

[willowing.livejournal.com]

ok - care to explain what?

[caddyman.livejournal.com]

I'm with Tam, here. What is a dongle, strictly speaking?

also when you have finally worked out how to remember the dongle you can also add to it's little vaults the portable version of Mozilla. Thus being able to use your personal email from any pc without leaving bits behind. Oh and you can set it up to not download the mails so they are still there for your home version should you wish

I love it
