I have been speaking to a friend up in Brisbane… His house is currently being absolutly pounded with rain. It would be nice for the rain to be sent down here for in order to fill up all the dams and also to improve the water table which has fallen significantly due to the drought. When running I can see how little water there is in the creek, which is probably at least partially related to the water table as opposed to something like development.

Right now I am having issues logging into one of my servers… Certain versions of windows only allow a couple of remote desktop sessions. And unfortunately someone else has logged into the server, and stayed logged in whilst killing off the remote desktop meaning that I am unable to log into the box. And since I am do not have access to the administrator account (even though I have admin rights) I cannot login and log off the other sessions… If I need to log in I will ring up the administrator and get access…

News.COM.AU have notified us all that the ABC have put their phone calls out to tender. They have 1800 mobile phones, fixed lines, 1800 and 1300 numbers… And make about three million local calls a year. That is a lot of phone calls. Looks like Optus or Telstra is getting a new contract!
