My friends in Canada seem rather happy so I am pleased. Since the back end side had been run by hand on demand my first job for this morning is now to make sure that everything is working correctly and them set this up to automate things. Probably for a few weeks I will have the GUI run on a server somewhere, and then just activate the Windows Service. My windows server has enough other things running on it, so another piece of software is not an issue at all.

For the last few days I have been having issues with the CPU going into 100% use mode. This has been strange, and initially I thought it was Internet Explorer crashing, or Outlook. I have traced it to the inetinfo.exe program crashing. Going into Task Manager and listing the processes lists inetinfo.exe, and normally it will be using about 0% CPU. When it crashes it goes up to 90% or higher. Killing off this process fixes the problem, and it will restart correctly automatically. I think this is one more indicator that I really need to do a complete reinstall soon on this laptop.

Todays SMH has a story about the baggage system at Sydney Airport. Max Moore-Wilton is blaming the issues mostly on too many planes arriving at peak times, like 6am, and has called for the curfew to be lifted. Whilst I hate waiting for bags, I also hate getting to the airport too early, or even worse, having to get to the airport too early to pick someone up.
