thread Dr Hive mind, diagnosis please.
I get my blood test results tomorrow, but in the meanwhile have some odd symptoms:

lying in bed my arms and legs will cramp a little at the slightest opportunity. I can feel my hands and feet tingling, and muscles jumping.
If I cough I feel a tingling sensation radiating from the centre of my spine outwards!

All this goes when I get up.

During the day around 10-11ish I'll get a steady side pain which moves as I move, eg sat on the bog it's not noticeable. Today the entire right side of my body including face felt numb-ish and now my left elbow is hurting. Right arm feels like it wants to cramp.

Blood pressure normal. I've been googling liver disease in preparation for what the doc might tell me tomorrow but none of what I'm feeling is mentioned, so what the flock is wrong with me?

aq: sheep.

permalink haha
erm
lupus?

Since my stroke i have had stiffness when sat still for some time (hour+) and it's worse first thing in the morning.
I do cramp a fair bit and my right side (stroke side) is prone to cramping quite a lot - muscles get screwed)
Other bits sound like trapped nerves so it might be a back issue.
i'm no doctor but i have had all of those symptoms and i aint dead yet.
permalink Involuntary stiffness
is common in all men, especially in the morning.
permalink my wife has been sleeping naked on top of the quilt
recently due to warm weather :)
permalink I noticed that,

permalink You still haven't

permalink I prefer gingers though ;o)
permalink I have none of those symptons
so it's not your liver
permalink it could be a fungus that flourishes in old

you're just worried about the test results and have started paying attention to every little thing
a decent string of sleeps will help

as the hive mind is open: anyone heard of service charges to flats at 150-170 a month? they seem to be part ownership related but still
that seems prettyprettypretty steep
permalink Stroke
i had 2 - welcome to the club
permalink 2 strokes
that must be like riding around on a lawn mower
permalink doh
first a small one TIA then a proper one a day later.
I wouldn't recommend one, luckily i can walk, talk and move properly now (6 months) just have muscle pain ans stiffness
permalink ok it was a crap joke
i remember when it happened and was quite shocked
permalink nope, it was good enough to make
me chuckle
permalink If you can't laugh at yourself,
etc...
permalink i do most days
I think i was mildly depressed for 1 day when in hospital, that was mainly due to being stuck in a ward with 20 other over 80 year old men farting and dribbling, but i have been fine since then.
permalink so what's up with your kidneys then?
and is this genetic or just completely out of the blue?
*worries a bit*
permalink funnily enough
i was told not long after the stroke that i would have kidney failure within 2 years... The good news however is that I should be able to que jump being diabetic and i would have a dual transplant - kidney & pancreas..
So it's pretty cool - after being diabetic for 20+ years they are going to cure me (with just anti rejection meds going forward)

Oh and everything is always related to being diabetic.
Also another reason why i just laugh off the stroke I spose
permalink *puts down sticky bun*
permalink Just absolutely flew on the way home
despite a headwind. It's amazing what trying to get to the post office depot before it closed can do. Made it. Just.
permalink my instinct
is saying trapped nerve somewhere.

I have a touch of cervical spondylosis, and often get pain in my arms and pins&needles and that lot.

Are we running a book? 10p says it's a nerve thing.
permalink 11p says it only happens when

permalink did you see that

or possibly Ankylosing spondylitis, just cos it's a good name
permalink necrotising fasciitis
is my favourite.
permalink anything like
spondylitis is a great name! I think trapped nerve too, but don't even know where to start on the diagnosis for that!
permalink they thought i had that there AS for a bit
but it was just a fcked back and me being a bit of a misery guts

driving a lot, standing on floor cold air vents in equipment rooms and generally being a slouch really doesn't help - i'd not be surprised if you were suffering similarly.

weirdly the bloke who worked opposite me was then diagnosed with it about a week later, but sadly it really was for him.
permalink hm, I do a lot of driving,
standing on cold floor air vents and sitting on badly designed office and workshop chairs. Mrs W's sofa isn't the most comfy either! Coming home I had the heated seat on max and it felt a lot better but moved pain to my chest. Were your symptoms worsened by booxe or bettered? Last night I felt great whilst having a bottle of wine :)
permalink i guess the muscle relaxant bit could help...
i also had pains in my side and chest, which turned out to be because of my back as well, there's a set of nerves runs round from the spine round the ribs that were getting squashed

so don't panic, you might not be dead tomorrow
thread I hate this job, I've been a bundle of nerves for ages.
Somehow I've ended up being responsible for the proper running of the backups. Today I discover two servers that don't have IPs listed, there's no password for them and they're not being backed up, I think "Oh shit, I'm gonna get killed for this"

After a fair bit of detective work it turns out that these servers have been sitting in the data centre, sucking up power and putting out heat for years when they should have been sitting in a skip.

I want my holiday to be now instead of a month away.

What's your favourite jam?
permalink blackcurrant jam
preferably on freshly baked home made bread...
permalink you need a new job, not one

permalink is there such a job in IT?

permalink no, we've been bullshitting for decades
I wonder what it was like to work in IT before google
permalink Easier to bullshit,
harder to find actual solutions.
permalink I used to buy a lot of manuals
I also had a crazy dog that lived down my street that liked to steal and chew my manuals on my way home. So basically as I recall everything used to smell a bit like dank dog.

Google was about but it wasn't the haven of information it is now. I used to develop on dial up and have to remember to disconnect it otherwise I'd end up in trouble for the massive phone bill.

for the last three years
permalink once a day,
every day at 14:30...
permalink Did you answer with "Hello Denton CID"
?
permalink i burnt the phone as a witch
permalink yes?




oh.
permalink I've been having wierd calls appearing on my phone bill (landline)
on a line I use once every 2 weeks to phone a freephone number with. It's only a few pence, but someone's clearly managing to place calls using my line.
I've unplugged it to see what happens next month. It's freaky.
permalink I think in the likelihood
of someone breaking into your house and using your line to place a couple of calls every month vs. the telco's billing system cocking up you're barking up the wrong tree.
permalink They might have tapped into the wire
outside of the house.
permalink This,
or have somehow got crossed connections with my DECT phone base-station.
permalink YOur telephone cable isn't below ground perhaps?
permalink I find the idea that someone hacks into JoS's phone line
to place a few pence worth of calls every month utterly preposterous. It's just not worth the effort.

I'm curious to know why he has a phoneline he uses once a fortnight though. Dead man's trigger?
permalink I spend 2-3 hour sont he phone to my dad in the US
every other weekend, normally we watch the Grand Prix together.
Our cheap phone deals largely rely on having a landline, and deleting the landline results in my broadbeans price increasing by about the same as it's cost.
Virgin seem to insist that you pay them at least £30 per month irrespective of your requirements.
permalink Ah, that makes sense.
I thought it was a second landline (whcih would be suspicious).

I pay £45 for my internets, telly and phone but the extra £15 is worth it when the Sky sales folk latch on.
permalink Embarassingly,
I suggested it might have been my cleaner.
She was very understanding, but quite clear on the fact it wasn't her.
If it was, she'd be stupid to have continued doing it, and she's not that stupid.
permalink or she's clever enough to realise
that if it suddenly stopped you'd know it was her
permalink Check out Miss Marple!
:o)
permalink I think I've subconsciously started getting in to work early
so I can leave early in order to catch Midsomer Murders :(
permalink I don't know why she'd bother,
as I pay her mobile bill anyway.
permalink I wasn't questionning her phone use,
more your faulty logic.
permalink Hang on...
it's all falling into place now....
drives an old beemer.....
has a "cleaner" and supplies her with a mobile phone.....

You're a pimp aren't you
permalink Less of the "old" as far as Lily is concerned, matey!
I don't supply her mobile phone, I just pay her bill.
It's a convenient solution, whihc also probably helps avoid the taxman a bit.
Anyway, it was you chatting with her on fb last night, so if you're right, I'll raise an invoice for her time ;-)
permalink Flan's been chatting up your cleaner?
`
permalink It was a list of
inappropriate behaviour by politicians on public parkland.

So, er yes.
permalink Ah so that's who she is
I didn't want to go posting the full details of the death of Stephen Milligan on your wall.

As for the invoice, do I get a discount seeing as I'm on benefits ?
permalink No, because so is she.
From HMRC's point of view it's an entirely tax neutral transaction. You can probably claim the VAT back being overseas though.

She's also one of my neighbours, she gets top rates for the body, but the boat race is 2nd Division.
God, I'm a horrible man.
permalink BOBFOCW ?
VAT clawback would be good as we are 21% on luxuries here, but then after that comment would she be classed as a "luxury"
permalink 2nd Division is not Crimewatch (I was not including the Premiership)
Regards Luxury, I'd have thought if you were approaching from the front then no, but for rearward access, she's definetely VATable.
permalink Crimewatch is all one word
`
permalink I thought it
was just BOBFOC too.
permalink I prefer Nanna Kornicova myself
permalink Also,
"VAT clawback" sounds like some sort of boudoir activity, so is in itself, probably subject to VAT.

permalink i don't understand why Carraciola is so high

permalink It's not been going well
.
permalink I wouldn't say no,
if you had some.
permalink Why not?
I have some cash left in a WH account
permalink We do. Not over ADSL, but on the existing corporate network.
It's crap. Although, that might just be Siemens fault.
permalink is that part of the whole beeb voip clusterfuck?
permalink Yep.
They added it on to an already overstretched network. Each phone is also a hub, so the ethernet cable runs from the floor into the phone, then another one goes from the phone into the PC. The UI is awful - truly awful - and the voicemail system is another whole world of pain.
permalink fuck me
i've just been talking about that and had a quick look, decided to ring a proffesional.
permalink if you are discussing using it over adsl with them
i would be interested in if they think there are any issues with that setup.

our phone company has given us what i think is bullshit advice, so i'm interested in what others have to say about it
permalink it depends on users tbh
and how much bandwidth it needs up.

given a standard 800k up and a 2 lines to one person scenario, i'd take off 100k for ADSL variation, call it 100k per person inc overheads and say one ADSL might be ok for 10-12 extensions with 5 concurrent?

thats a complete guess though and based off what i know 64k sounds like over a leased line.
permalink so if we were getting a solid, consistent 1MB up
we might be able to squeeze ten concurrent outbound with a following wind, and nine should be fairly comfortable?
permalink The secret to our modest success
is using a local ISP who can control their own traffic shaping and contention to ensure our VoIP bandwidth is protected. I don't know how easy this would be to achieve with a suppliuer buying ADSL off BT.
permalink JOS down there speaks well
i personally wouldnt just fling one up like that if it was for anything other than intersite comms. customer facing stuff i'd certainly look to run seperate switches and all that but wouldnt run off any old adsl as per JOS too.
permalink In our experience, bandwidth is not the problem,
so much as packet loss, and latency. VoIP uses a large amount of very small packets, and if a small percentage is lost, quality falls away. Likewise, if there is high latency, packets may arrive too late and be discarded, giving the same problem.

We use a 2mb synchronous wifi link to a local ISP, and this works fine most of the time. Our ISP protects the VoIP portion of the bandwidth so the call doesn't break up everytime I refresh the board. Also, we have completely rejigged out network infrastructure to minimise the amount of time VoIP data and other data are using the same network hardware - we have separate switches for computers and phones, and have distributed other items across these two to minimise use fo the uplink between them.
For the record we use a dedicated Trixbox server, and Polycom 501 phones. Note that most manufacturer's "SIP" phones are not fully SIP compliant. Avaya's for example use the SIP protocol, but require an Avaya server to operate, and will not work with other SIP compatible systems. The Polycom phones are fully standards compliant, which is why we use them, and I'd recommend them.

In short, if it's a consumer ADSL connection, and you want more than one line, and need reliability, I would advise against.
E-mail me if you want to know more, phil hat surdigital dotty co dotty uk.
permalink do all surdigital emails go to you?
Cos you seem to use a different one every time.

Edit: all this talk of VOIP has made me realise that'll be why the web runs like treacle here.
permalink Yes, more or less, it's my domain.
There's a couple of arcane addresses go elsewhere, I think.
I regularly use twat@ and biggayer@
permalink I ended up turning catchall off on my domains
cos I was getting too much spam
permalink Well I have it set up so that I can do that,
but as it all goes to gmail, I let them sort it out.
permalink i keep it on

our phones aren't ip at all, the SIP would just be from the PBX for external lines. that would be over a dedicated ADSL with a business supplier. i don't know what traffic shaping they do, i don't have direct contact with the isp. the bandwidth is 18 down 1 up on speedtest.net and their latency test gave 18ms for pings, completely consistently

our phone company installed that ADSL specifically for their SIP service, so you'd think it would be ok for it right? they are now saying it isn't, to which i am all like WTFLOLZOR. just checking that there isn't something i am missing here before i start kicking them up and down the street
permalink That would seem like it's got the necessary beans.
I don't really know what bandwidth we use, actually, as I now recall that we buy 2mb PLUS 5x VoIP lines, so the ISP manages the VoIP bandwidth outside our regular connection.
pingtest.net gives our connection 15ms, 0% loss, and 7ms jitter, so that might give you some sort of baseline.
permalink BASE!
How low can you go

permalink no but I look fucking hard
permalink I wish someone
could put some scaffolding up around me to keep me looking like I'm awake and alert at my desk.

Post holiday boredom particularly bad this year.
permalink One of them back prace girdle things
would keep you upright, and if you put some papers between you and your keyboard when your head lolls it'll look like you'r reading them.

edit: seriously though if you want a nap get confortable in your chair, have a document on your lap. It's very difficult to tell whether you've got your eyes closed or not in that position since you've got your head down - people will assume you're reading. Of course, it all goes wrong if someone talks to you. Top tip if you want a nap in church though!
permalink lols
permalink Or go to the stationary room,
a)scatter paper clips near door
b)sleep on floor near door
c)someone opens door slightly which hits you
d)wake up pretending to be clearing up paper clips
e)apply limes
permalink Damn these open plan offices!

permalink I know what you mean.
Never normally get post holiday blues, but I was really bad on Monday. I reckon if I took the equity from our current house I could buy this. Unfortunately I wouldn't have any money to do it up, nor have a job.

*roles die*
permalink Ouch!!

thread so has anyone got a link to the leaked facebook list
i wana see if i am on there. its a top news item on beeb right now
permalink good question
permalink As far as I can see
it's list of what information can be seen by randoms, ie not your friends.
permalink It says it's only information that was publicly available.
He wasn't out to break into things, just to show the defaults are rubbish. You should only be on the list if you left your privacy settings alone.
permalink phew
i have locked mine down and share almost nothing.
i heard yesterday that they are testing account removal. not just account shutdown
permalink I'm not ultra-locked down
but I'm fairly well secured- and don't put anything in that I'd be upset at getting out.

Also, the further back you signed up 9especially if you signed up whilst it was individual university networks only) the more secure your default settings. Everytime they've altered the defaults, it has been for new sign-ups only. Which is part of why I don't get it when existing users quit over changes to the privacy defaults...
permalink this ^
My facebook is pretty sanitised. My mum's on facebook after all.
permalink I can't think of anything
I have on Facebork that I would be worried about anyone knowing?

pixels there.. and there..
permalink just stick "facebook" in thepiratebay
It's a harvest of public data. It's about as much a leak as streetview is an invasion of privacy.
permalink No doubt by the end of the day
once Sky, BBC and GMTV have whipped it up into a frezy it will end being touted as some big list of kiddie fiddlers and potential immigrants by the Daily Mail
permalink isn't someone making a film about facebook?
sounds riverting..
permalink Maybe it's a musical with everyone singing one-liners in the third person.
The phantom wants Christine to sing
