Ingram stock levels

One item is showing as out of stock but overdue and more again to come in a few more weeks. In this instance that’s fine as my order isn’t urgent and they’re about to book in their order or something

Then I get an email that it’s currently out of stock (which I knew but thanks for advising), eta is over a month away but to please allow a couple of days for it to be brought in?

How to have an eta of over a month but wait a couple of days?

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

When software you have been using for a long time stops working!

Support for it has stopped as the Company is now concentrating on commercial products. 2 different computers (Win11 & Win10) stopped at separate times. (Month apart)

I suspect MS updates broke something.

....and I've been unable to find a comparable product!

@msukiwi Please stop with the funny company names. FUG

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Like the backup software I use, it started failing silently with no error messages. With some help from their support the problem turned out to be that I'd set an option to fail silently if not on the network that the NAS was on, to avoid neverending warnings if I was on another network. Problem was that I was on the network with the NAS, and everything ran fine in test runs.

The problem was that Windows randomly adds new network profiles with numeric suffixes, so while I was on "Network", I wasn't on "Network 6" or "Network 3" or "Network 7" or whatever Windows decided it was this week.

And the only way to fix it is to go to a section of the registry with a bunch of GUID keys and run through them all looking for the "Network x" ones and delete them. Until Windows decides to add them again.

"Thank Microsoft, kids".

"Thaaaanks, Bill".

Just had similar. Product had a comercial version and a free 1 user version for personal use - which I was using. it suddenly stopped working and I noticed that the licence key was showing as expired. I contacted them and got a "Yeah we are not offering that any longer". "Don't you think you shoud have communicated this to current users before expiring their licence keys?" "Yeah sorry".

I notice all reference to the personal use version is now gone from their web site. Not even a mention of the fact that they have withdrawn it. 😡

When you like your coffee with one sugar, the barista duly complies with your request and adds it to the espresso but then doesn't bother to stir it through when they're making my take-away flat white.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

A pretty general one, but people walking around the supermarket slowly - specifically the ones who slouch on the trolley and move around like it's a leisurely walk. I can't be the only one who goes into the supermarket, gets what I need and leave, right?

Sugar in coffee. You are risking the vengeance of the coffee gods. They are always watching and noting transgressions. Repent I say repent and add only a pinch of salt to your coffee

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

They're nowhere near as bad as the ones that do that but in double file talking to each other, oblivious to the line of increasingly annoyed shoppers behind them that looks painfully similar to the 18 cars stuck behind that one person going 90 in the right lane in a 110km/hr zone of the highway.

For this reason, I just get delivery or Direct to Boot.

This.

You just go cold turkey on the sweet white death. After a few cups you'll wonder why you ever bothered with that diabetes inducing rubbish.

Good thing I'm an atheist and I can continue to enjoy what I do without any fear😉.

But I like my coffee flavoured hot milkshake. ;-)

Speaking of sugar, we have a covered sugar bowl with a lid that has an inset to put the spoon in. It holds about 2/3 of a cup. It sits on the bench. We hardly ever use sugar from it except for the odd guest. For months now I’ve noticed the sugar going down a lot. Started to think maybe it somehow evaporates away so I put an extra silicone cover over it loosely. The other day, looked in to get some sugar again there was only about two tbs left. Today, there was a teaspoon of sugar plus one ant.

Washed both down the sink. No sign of other ants anywhere that I can see. It’s a mystery to me how they can operate unseen, where they came in and how did they still get into the bowl with the silicone cover. Sugar is now in a screw top jar.

Need to put bait, any suggestions welcome.

Despite the debate about it here on GZ a couple of years ago, we find Pestrol ‘Exterm-An-Ant’ works perfectly well.

It’s a wonder you hadn’t noticed any obese ants.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Thanks I see New World has it on sale so will get some today and put it in the sugar bowl…with a POISON sign on it. Assuming that the Houdinis can’t read.
