Thanks Elizabeth ...

Subject is: Internet based transactional privacy in Australia. I did a supporting survey and used Google as a case study to demonstrate elements such as profiling and the "value" of privacy in an online context.

What's your thesis subject? I hope you get a good report from the examiner!

Re: Going Crazy ...

Is an examiner's report some sort of PhD thing down under?

Yes, I had the thesis document published and sent to two external examiners for their review (one in Aus and one in the US). They write comments and I have to change accordingly. There will be some more work ahead ... but hopefully not too much....

How did you know!? Wilson's fine, thank you very much for asking. He's waiting for it to warm up so he can have some pizza again... but we have some really crappy weather coming the next few days to wait through first....

Mine floats around as well. The weather is crappy here as well. Apparently when they pulled the rat out of the hole it meant we are in for 6 more weeks of winter (then again, he's only right 38% of the time).

I would bet that you have an optical mouse - they tend to do that. BTW - how's Wilson?

Re: Going Crazy ...

Ok well I think that I have solved the problem with the missing characters....

After scouring the net for a solution - the problem lay in the Adobe Flash Object. I had to disable that add-on, update with new object and re-enable and now all is good. I will need to apply this fix on my other laptop also as it appears to affect a number of different machines and is not "single brand" specific as I first suspected.

If anyone has a similar problem (most noticeable when posting in this forum) PM me and I will send through the details of the fix.

Rossco,
chuck out those useless windows PC machines (pieces of c**p) and get a good computer for a change, Get a Mac and all will be fine!!!!
Get a programme called Parallels, load tour windows Vista, 2000 or whatever your preference is) and with the press of a button, it runs either Mac OSX (latest version with the new machines) and your windows which then will run any and all of your Microsoft programmes.

Re: Going Crazy ...

Hahah thanks Mark ... I think we all agree that I am crazy ... but in the interest of exploring every possible option I will put your theory to the test and report back. I'll also double check that I have the latest Java/service packs etc on the machines - I'm sure they are up to date, but will check just to make sure.

Rossco,

I sometimes have that problem with my new toshiba laptop... I think it happens when i inadvertantly drag a finger over the mouse pad on the laptop which is completely flush with the top,, my old toshiba had a sunken sort of area.... or you could just be crazy !!!

Cheers
Mark
