First, we have a bit of a “security incident” on the main webserver at work. Turns out we were fairly lucky – lessons learnt last time something similar happen saved us (firewall *outgoing* connections++).
Still the same old issues of too many web authors publishing any old crap to the server and no real resource to [...]
Went into town today – first time in months and was surprised to find it so busy that I had to park on the top floor of the shiny new car park (£1.10 an hour?? Blimey).
OMG….
What a load of crap! Seems the seagulls use it for target practice (yes yes, I know it’s got my [...]
So, the last GP for quite sometime at Silverstone was today.
Except I can’t quite believe it will be. Bernie the poison dwarf said there would be a British GP (come on, no one believed he would pull that one…). Even Gim^H^H^HMax said F1 would be back at Silverstone in 2010. In the same way as [...]
I seem to start every blog post (not that there are many ) with some comment about being crap at posting. Seems that once again it’s been months – oh well.
Spent the last couple of weekends finally building the deck I’ve been pondering for yonks. At the bottom of our garden we have a [...]
Blimey I’m crap at keeping a blog upto date. I would suggest facebook but I’m crap at that as well. Been playing a bit with Twitter recently and while I have spells of fiddling with it I’m still suffering a bit from the “what is the point aspect”. Are people really interested in by every [...]
Finally, a few days in London that don’t need me to be sat in a training course all day! Spent a couple of nights staying County Hall on South Bank (around the back by the bins – not the posh bit ) with the kids. Jake has been pestering to go to London for [...]
Having had a bit of look around the sales for bargains, I’d pretty much given up (Argos seem to have scrapped their 50% discount on lego sets ) when I noticed Comet offering a 1TB My book drive for only 63quid. As this is less than most places are selling the bare drive [...]
No, he isn’t being whipped by them this time. His interview after the FIA meeting on how to save the F1 teams some cash amused me. His claim that every start (race or test) of a F1 car tends to cost around 5 million quid was backed up with the wonderful “5 million is quite [...]
Having a play with the VM demo Sun s7k openstorage device…

Are you sure you want to start /SP/console? (y/n)? y
Are you really sure you want to start /SP/console? (y/n)? y

Starting /SP/console may cause liver cancer. Are you still sure (y/n)? n

Parents are looking for a wii and wii fit (apparantly it’s good for Parkinsons?? – I think dad just wants to laugh at mum in cow racing personally). Wiis are generally available now – but wii fit is still a tad rare unless you want to buy it in a pack with a few crap [...]
