More Boy related technological infuriation
« on: March 17, 2008, 03:31:53 PM »
Mrs Nick and I have been at home all day partly waiting for a number of phone calls we were expecting.

Nothing.

I have just discovered that The Boy, who was playing with the phone last night, has turned off the ringer!!

Whoops!

But it still "rings" and if you don't pick it up because you can't hear it surely your answer phone would cut in. Mine does.

We are, which is why he has harvested every battery charger in the house and hidden them under his bed.Actually, this is quite useful, as we had been looking for some of them for a while.I have started up a special box of cables. cloud9:

I have just got my laptop out for the first time since we found it under his bedclothes. He has set up his own "adminstrator" area, password protected it and disabled my password!! It has taken me an hour to sort it out.  cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:

And I found 5 easter egg boxes under his bed (stolen) and an empty box of Thornton's which were given to us last night by the MIL!! Banghead Banghead Banghead

Can we bring back hanging? cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:

Sorry Nick but it was predictable.
Stop the war now, negotiate a ceasefire, go back to square one and ask him to help you.









Oh and put a bucket by his bed ... that lot may well return tonight!

No. The Zero Tolerance thing is starting to work. Mrs Nick and I are of one mind, for once!

Nick, if you can create a random password that vou can remember but the boy has no chance of guessing then when you swtch on the laptop follow the prompt to go into the bios and set up a bios password. If the boy can't work out the password then he cant use the laptop at all.

Good idea. But if you forget that password you are buggered.  lol:
