    Real History

    Taking Wikipedia as correct is pretty much the same as believing that news reports from the BBC are factual and not adjusted to suit their own agendas, objectives and opinions. Also similar to believing climate reports in the Guardian, or from government sources.

    Have you ever been pressured into building something with a bad design?

    In your position I'd go back and say you'd rather not do it. Or make up so excuse. Or simply tell him that you cannot put your name to the design he requires. It does appear that you have little enthusiasm in you doing the work and that is essential. You could spend a huge amount of your own...

    Today's Environmentalists Are Really Luddites

    I read about it in "The West Australian" a Perth WA newspaper, in the last fortnight. (maybe do a search?) From memory the Liberal Party will extend dates. I think that the Liberal Party is not in power but these things change, as they will in Britain in 2019. The coal fired power stations from...

    Today's Environmentalists Are Really Luddites

    Australia is winding back on its NetZero plans. Retaining some coal fired power stations and planning gas powered generators. Reason is cost and the wisdom of not wanting to be waste money on being leader. This is a land of sun and wind. In 2018 Google used more electricity as a company than...

    Real History

    As in the World over hunter gatherers came before farmers. The generally accepted opinion is that whilst agriculture began in Asia Minor the methods were then quickly transferred from there. There is no sound information that those farmers moved and colonised various countries, including...

    Real History

    Prior to (end of the last major ice age) around 6,500 to 8,000 years ago Britain was joined to Europe, so people would have wandered back and forth. An area now under the North Sea now given the name Doggerland no doubt after Dogger Bank a shallow area in the North Sea. Early Britons were...

    The more things change...

    Changing management predicts so much but often gives so little. I have lost count of the number of companies that took 50 years to get to where they were and were then destroyed in less than five with a takeover.

    Table fields

    I have a comprehensive system written for structural fabrication that does just that. It controls manufacturing, finishes, delivery notes, labour costs, and drawing issue including revisions, approval and variation orders etc. Just not sure how I can pass it on as I'm retired and don't want to...

    What pc hardware/software to speed up Microsoft Access?

    Years ago, back in the olden days speed was a real issue to me with Access. Then I read abut the permanent connection and it wasn't a problem from that day on. Windows97 was probably the first OS where database systems benefited (since C-DOS). Before that some thought that to pull a record 3 to...

    Deleted!

    I wonder what the primary object of this is. There is an easy foolproof solution to retaining and not losing your latest version of an Access application and that is called a sound backup system. A start would be maybe not keeping all of your backups in a drawer under the computer. Then advance...

    Microsoft’s “Premier” Mix-Up: A Tale of Access and Amnesia

    AWF is no doubt just about the best advert that Microsoft has for Access. It is also I think the only main Access support site. Little doubt that it has taken over from buying books on the subject. It will provide the answer to anything that can and has been asked. Microsoft should be more...

Hundreds a now complaining about bias in trans reporting: search for : bbc pro-trans bias damaged our children I have found the BBC biased in reporting anything to do with climate also. They protect and project the designer...

    It is believed the ancient Picts that inhabited Scotland from the late Iron Age until the around the 10th century AD were black, as explained in a new history book for CHILDREN. It is believed by these crackpots that the ancient Picts who inhabited Scotland from the late Iron Age until the...
