Fridge DEAD (549)

Ho hum. My fridge started getting warmer on Thursday. Thankfully it stopped at room temperature or I’d have a big hole.

Told the agency, they’ve told me I’m getting a new one 🙆

I currently have a gr00vy cool box thing acting as my fridge, tho it’s not very cool any more 😞

I have 4 vegeta...

it’s too early (407)

Sheesh. It’s my day off, so I wake at 7. My body hates me!

Got logs of work done tho, since then. Rah!

And added error checking into the code so you can’t register as a blank name, like some nawty person did yesterday. Tsk 😊

Just need to add identical code to the backend too 😉

It’s qui...

Whee! Photies! (578)

bittersweet came to visit today...he wanted some new and slightly less “blurry webcam” photos doing. Took over 400! I almost melted!

*giggle*

Was fun...some came out incredibly well – I’ll be adding a couple to my portfolio at some point I think 😊

Stopped for dinner @ Wing’s Buffet. A...

Saying that...I’ll probably get hit by a bus now 😁

payday (406)

Initial frustration as it seemed that there might not be enough signatories to do my cheque in time for me to get to the bank today was quelled when it turned out there were enough signatories to do my cheque in time for me to get to the bank today.

So I am off out tonight. Well, after the client...

Weirdness (550)

After seeing my special quorn KFC style pic, someone from the MT list has emailed me a full list of Colonel Saunders' recipes.

It tells me why the crispy coating tastes so good, at any...

Computers suck... (421)

...mine doubly so, as it has a dual processor. Bought more RAM for it as I suspected the old RAM is ill – turns out that the old RAM is not ill, it’s just not compatible with the ECC registered newer ram. Ah well. So I thought I’d put the swanky new RAM in with the old RAM (neither are ECC) and have...

blog! (515)

Dammit. PC crashed. Lost all blog.

Pfft.

*goes to PC world to see about an upgrade*

Saturday. Stikki (Nikki) came to visit me, with Brian. They get free travel on trains because Brian’s a guard on one of them, it’s very cool...so Nikki comes down lots and lots and lots.

Today’s excu...

A Brave New World (424)

Just finished reading it...it’s very interesting – written in 1932, it uncannily predicts the future in a few ways – you’re left double guessing about some of the content, “did that kinda thing exist then?” etcetera. It’s interesting to read his ideas about how he sees the future utopia – replace so...

whoa horsey (395)

Not sure what I should write about today really. Am having lots of exciting ideas about themes, James wants to implement something whereby we can build them dynamically, I’m not sure yet that this would be a good idea, might be better when we get our own server 😉

Where do we go from here with th...

Server woes (449)

I would guess that the stormhosts servers got virussed, as they’ve been unavailable for a while...it appears that there’s a new set of nameservers been added, these appear to work ok, but this server’s up and down a bit at the moment. Hopefully it’ll all be right by tomorrow, then I can finish the b...

cool (451)

Freakcity DEAD. Oops, I think someone somewhere broke a nameserver 😉

I’ve just set it to use ethos as nameserver again, as my ADSL seems more reliable than their server farm. D’oh.

and in other news, as the proxy here at work has been set to a slightly less draconian level of security and they’ve...

gah (610)

I always seem to end up with miles and miles and miles and miles of OtherPeople work and no time for any of my own stuff at the moment.

I’ve just spent the best part of 3 hours doing updates to KHRP, even though I’ll not bill for more than about an hour. I should probably get some money grabbing ...

Happy Tuesday (437)

*sigh*

They’ve turned on NTLM authentication on the firewall – so I can no longer authenticate to the firewall using anything that just uses “basic” or cleartext authentication.

So all the passwordsinside the firewall are encrypted because it’s more secure that way, right?

Muppets 😊

Work’s firewall has changed allowing me zero access to my server by ssh. I’m stuck using webmail...how 1999 😡
