Isn’t it odd how you get used to the little features of an IM client? My current favourite is Gtalk, mainly because at its most basic level it only requires a browser. It also stores the conversations in a handy google-able format. However, it does suffer from a few problems. One is lack of file transfer […]

Apparently Microsoft have a bug in some of the logic that allows Windows to decide when to query group policies. Because group policies can affect themselves (effectively), there has to be a certain sequence of events to applying them. If this goes wrong Shit Happens. Symptoms are: Event 1058 Event 1030 With Userenv debug logging […]
Bastards. It’s been quite hot lately. Especially in the office, where PCs are running and the AirCon is actually getting the situation under control. I’ve been trying hard to keep myself hydrated in this weather as I’m quite prone to dehydration naturally. So I’m walking down Queen Street in Cardiff, and there’s a guy outside […]

It’s something past 3 in the morning and for the first time in a while, I’m having trouble sleeping. Mainly because Sean left this afternoon, and it’s odd without him – I can still feel his presence in the house. So having finished reading a cracking good story [Do Over and it’s sequels], I’m sat here […]
My ADSL has been down yesterday and today, so poor Sean has been sat at home doing not-very-much, especially with the weather so wet. So I looked into it yesterday, but got not much farther than “the filter rattles” so I replaced that, and still no joy – my Cisco was showing teh ATM interface […]
I’ve just heard that the cave rescue team have had their Landrover returned to them, more details available in this news article. That’s fantastic news and hopefully the inability to sell the vehicle is going to prove a deterrent for other idiots from trying to steal equipment from other rescue services. In other news, we […]
