I sympathise with you, as *our* computers have been driving us crazy - mine has died and my husband's is on the verge of dying which means we are having to contemplate buying new desktops or laptops at the very least. Isn't it amazing that these days we cannot live without our technology. When a fridge/television/ computer gives up the ghost we rush out to buy a replacement immediately, yet we moan about them when they don't do their jobs properly!ADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018958238940897902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-20641653989657031972009-10-26T22:25:41.483+00:002009-10-26T22:25:41.483+00:00Eddie

This has been a great honour for me and I am endeavouring to raise the profile of this great feature column.<br /><br />I would be highly honoured if you would agree to be featured and I would be grateful if you could email me regarding your decision. I am sure your interview would be very interesting.

The only qualified persons who can diagnose mental disorder are the very sane professional psychologists and psychiatrists although you have to have a thorough investigation if they are really honest with their findings or they are just using you for their "thesis." You know they are just bunch of "supposed to be" professionals who want your money because knowing you are mentally insane it's easy to manipulate your way of thinking. So beware.

To my mind the acronym stands for "How To Make Lunatics" as that is exactly what it does.<br /><br />I faff about for hours with it, never fully understanding how the code I've just laid down actually turns into something half decent when published - the fact that it does owes nothing to my knowledge of it.

I can only learn by trial and error and unless I write it down I forget what I've learned. I came across something the other day from a yoga teacher about neuro something or other, about how the brain gets trained through repitition, so that going over and over with something is a problem unless it's the exact right thing.
