Polo's just by Tottenham Ct Rd. Brazil by Kilo's right there too.

xpost.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

G00blar is more right than me. Brasil by Kilo is not terribly vegetarian friendly.

Kate, when I get a pickup can I borrow one of your amps/bed side table to practice on?

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:52 (nineteen years ago)

Also, the flowers of hell album is awesome.

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:52 (nineteen years ago)

Great! Thanks to all, will report back on goodness later on.

Right now today = lazy day. Which we're fine with. Tomorrow I will catch Children of Men at last, and Thursday or Friday will be some combinations of the British Museum and the Tate Modern. Must get to Gilbert and George exhibition...

(And is Yukecha one of the Polo servers, then? If I'm asking, I just need to know what/who I'm asking for! This will probably be for dinner at 6ish, if anyone wants in.)

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

Guys, I have an tech question. I have an Excel pivot table linked to an access mdb, not created by myself. How do I find out what database and query the pivot table is linked to? There seems to be nothing anywhere on the context menus, and google for once turns up a blank.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:00 (nineteen years ago)

Errr, I suppose you can borrow one of the amps - it might be useful to have an amp in town. Though you will have to transport it yourself!

(That said, I brought home the AC-30 on the bus when I bought it, but I'd never like to repeat that stunt. That said, it's rather prone to misbehaving, so you might be better with one of the more reliable ones. One of the baby voxes or the Marshall LEAD amp (pronounced as in lead the metal, coz that's what it's made of.))

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

Yukecha is a big stone bowl of really spicy noodle soup.

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

Isn't yukecha a soup?

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

Geez, Ed, yr my xpost pal today!

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

I should stop stepping on your toes.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

Err, this is so obviously simple that I'm sure you've tried it, but right click on the pivot in Excel, then bring up the Pivot Wizard and click back through the options until you get to the define source page or whatever it is?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

Though because it's Excel, it's called something stupid like "get data" or something. You then connect via ODBC or something IIRC. But it's done through the Pivot Wizard.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

Yay spicy soup. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

You should keep both the voxes, as the stereo tremolo sounds really good. This is only a temporary solution.

I am made of man flesh and should be able to manhandle the LEAD home.

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, Wizard, WTF? Like we're all D&D geeks or something, throwing saving spells against data integrity malfunctions.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

Although hmm...I might need to look into something else tonight, since someone I'm meeting I think isn't fond of Asian food. (Pity.) Brasil might actually be the best option after all! Will check, though.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

But that's my table! And Johnny B is taking my other table when he picks up the food processor! I will have no tables left.

Also, that Marshall has HISTORY. It has been used on tour by indie rock stars from Slumber Party to The Gossip. (though I suppose they're not exactly indie any more, now I'm seeing them namechecked in, like, the Metro and stuff, like WTF?) I wonder if I could eBay it.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

morning! busy! argh! (is ace obv)

― emsk, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

Emsk with the full schedule.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

Busy = good.

I wish I could chase down my missing money. Got it down from £368.05 to £44.89 but that's still no good when you're dealing with ValVar of about £30k either way. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

God, I am soooo tired. It's really warm in here and I just want to go sleepy. One of my colleagues suggested I go down to one of the consultation rooms, put the "engaged" sign on the door, put all the blinds down and just sleep. I'm verry verrrrrry tempted.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

I just took a walk in the sunshine with the flowers of hell album, things don't get much better.

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

It must be spring, I am eating salad for lunch for the second day running.

I want to apply the wizzard preset

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

I just went for a walk in Lincolns Inn Fields. It was really lovely, there were dogs playing and flowers blooming.

But now I *really* don't want to be in the office.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

Kate, that was so obvious that I didn't do it . . . . thank you! Well, I didn't see the name of the mdb in lights, just a list of queries, but I recognised the query names so I could go find it anyway. Cheers!

And go to sleep. Sleeping at lunchtime is not a luxury, it is a right.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:10 (nineteen years ago)

I used to do that "five mins shuteye" in t'bog, around 15:30, when I used to commute London. It revived you just enough for the rest of the day.

Don't really need that thesedays.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

I am so out of shape I got out of breath walking around LIF. But then again, I have just eaten themost massive lunch - not just the normal curry, but half a cheese sandwich and a donut too. (The latter two were free, how could I turn them down?)

But my out of shapeness is starting to scare me.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:15 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, never mind, plan A is a go for Polo -- said friend has apparently enjoyed Korean food before, so rock. Just reconfirming that there are plenty of veg options there, though!

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

Yes there are lots, Loads of great tofu and kimchi based dishes.

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

MMMM TOFU AND KIMCHI ROWR

i just had a dolcelatte sandwich from the lovely little italian place across the road.

― emsk, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:20 (nineteen years ago)

GOD'S FOOD.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

Good indeed. Okay, so I'm meeting up with my friend Angus at 6 pm under the shadow of Freddie Mercury's statue (or the marquee thereof) -- Polo is across the street?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

Grrrr, arrrggghhh, this isn't working. You know that whole "if you pretend not to care about something, then you will eventually not care" thing you all have promoted? At what point does the inside internal voice going "DIE! DIE! I HOPE THAT YOU CHOKE!!!" actually stop? Because that makes it really difficult to pretend that you don't care about something.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

Polo is behind that big tall building (centre point) across the street that is to Freddie Mercury's left. Cross that Street (new oxford), walk through where there are BUSSES, and you'll find Polo on yr right.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

Easy, killer..

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

I'm actually serious. :-(

I've been in such a good mood for a while, I know that I'm starting to get cranky, but and I don't want to let this upset me. But that internal reaction trips me up. And it does still genuinely upset me. Pretending that it doesn't only makes me feel worse about not being able to control it.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

That's ok, though. It's ok to be upset by someone/something. Just don't let it throw yr whole everything off. Or something.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

G00blar, yer a star. And Kate, his advice is sound.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

Don't let that voice rule, listen to it but rationalise it as part of the internal and external cacophony.

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

Well, in a little bit of good news, I found my VV - stuff written in February but NTU in March, so it didn't turn up on BZW - but did still turn up in deads. (I know this makes no sense to anyone not in my office.)

And it wasn't actually £44, it was about £1000 each direction, so I'm glad that I investigated.

I am queen of maths. I can recconcile anything numerical, no matter how involved. I wish I could do the same thing with emotions, but those are not as tidy.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

Yay for finding your VV! I'm always misplacing it--looking in the BZW, under the BZW,around the BZW, checking the NTU, but for some reason I never think to look in deads.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

They're *always* lurking in the deads. I should just write that in my notebook. If in doubt, check the deads.

Wait, that is written in my notebook. It's because I assigned some deads to the wrong group of deads, because of the BZW date not being in the period.

I know this sounds like gobbledegook, heck, it sounds like gobbledegook to half the people I work with, but that's why I get the big bucks. Because I understand the gobbledegook and turn it into maths. OK, my recc is done - can I just go home now?

Should I eat my pear? No, I'm still too full. One of these days I should try Polo - it's quite near where I work.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

'always look in the deads' - twee goth band

― Ed, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, technically they are NTU, not deads. Argh! Even accounting wizards get confused. Always look in the NTU; FP is a bitch. (Financial Products, not Forest Pines, honest!)

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

eat yr pear, Kate!

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

What the hell is going on at the hotel across the road? There's all these weird men lined up outside. I saw this dude dressed like a member of Spinal Tap crossing the road to join them. Colleagues reckon it's auditions for something, but no idea what.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Big Brother Auditions?

"Hey, I'll dress as Donny!!"

― Mark G, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)
