What can I say, this thing is terrible. My thoughts go out to all people affected. As a man of faith too, it is sometimes hard to reconcile this sort of thing. I will see if I can help in some way, if I could I would go out and help.
Did a bit more of the house wiring today. Managed to put a Cat5 cable point into the cupboard under the stairs. The reason for this being is that I want to put a printer in there, the point is working now and I have put my HP Deskjet 840C printer. Though that is to be either joined or replaced by a HP Laserjet 1015 on Christmas Day! The joining or replacing depends on me being able to get a 3 port Jetdirect box.
Today we put up the Christmas Tree, the annual pain in the ass thing we have to do. I keep threatening to buy an inflatable tree, it would be much easier and less hassle! I also made some roasties today, testing for the buffet we are holding over Christmas. I wanted to test the Mango Chutney that I will be using to baste the Turkey in. I cooked the roasites in a bit of the chutney fried with a few onions.
We also got the new RADIUS server working this weekend! Finally after a very long project, the thing is in and working. Initial reports are looking good, and its performing well. Now the user data is in a PostgreSQL database, a whole new world of functionality and integration opens up for us. Thanks to Clockwork Software for all the hard work.
It’s Tuesday, and it’s a shit week already! We have had a McAfee Anti-Virus patch crash the most visible file and print server possible, thanks McAfee!!! And because of the differences between mawk and gawk the boss kicked off and got our Debian boxes re-installed with Red Hat. I was in the frame for both events, so I am not that pleased. I think my next review should be interesting…..
On the good side I have discovered Enemy Territory, a free FPS based on Wolfenstien. Have had a few good games with the good people over at the Lugradio Forums. I have also booked a nice weekend at The Ceilidh Place for over the festive season, so am looking forward to that. I have also booked our flight tickets for Canada next year! Very pleased with that!
