The Cost of a PHD From Oxford

When the daughter of a couple said she had a place at Oxford for a Doctorate, they were overwhelmed. So much so, they sold their house to pay for her studies.
Unfortunately, their daughter was not studying at Oxford at all. She was using her parents money to fly around the world, buy some very nice things, and get married in a lavish ceremony to which they were not invited. Now they are penniless and broken, and she is in prison.
If only we could separate all the crooks from all the fools!

Assholes

An American University missed the obvious when it wanted to rename the ‘George Mason Law’ ‘Antonin Scalia School Of Law’.
Maybe it not law they should teach there. Suggest a new Degree ‘How to avoid embarrassment with wordplay’.

Happy With the Way Things Are?

Then you are in a state of stagnation!
The way to make the world a better place is to look around you and make yourself beleivee you are living in a cesspit!.
Only this way can you raise yourself from apathy and go out to do something.

White Pupils do Worse

In British schools now British white pupils do worse than ethnic minority pupils.
Why are we scared to say it? White pupils are lazy and dumb and see themselves inheriting their parents house and becoming reality TV stars or winning the lottery. Why should they try?

Eyesight Failing

I went for an eyesight test three weeks ago. They took a retina scan and saw large white patches indicating failing eyesight. My eyesight is now below the legal standard required to drive. I never really liked driving anyway and have returned to using my bike. Failing eyesight at 48? A real shocker.

Thought for Today

Being powerful does not protect you from being wring.
And being string does not prevent you being stupid.

Have I Fixed It?

Since last Thursday the server has been overloaded and the website down for a great part of the day. I have upgraded the server, put in a lot more server security features and increased the level of caching at the system level.
Each of these worked for maybe half an hour. Now I have increased the php memory limit to a whopping 1 GB, and at the moment it seems ok.

We Overloaded the Server

We have outgrown a dedicated server with two quad core processors and 4GB of RAM after getting 10,000 visitors a day.
This week I will upgrade the server to a full 16GB RAM. I think this will probably be able to keep the site loading fast for a couple of years.
Pity those people whose websites will never overload their servers.

When Taking an Exam

Always get the lowest score and the highest score of all the candidates.
The lowest mark is something to laugh at and the highest is something to aim for.
