My server is due back at any moment. We are just waiting for a bit of paperwork to go though and then things will be up and running again. About time let me tell you. I hate these type of …
I have to be rather careful today and tomorrow with my broadband… I am over quota for the month, and since it is for business, I decided to pay $10/GByte excess usage. Right now I am about 1.5 GBytes over. …
Yesterday I was watching some of Spooks, which is a BBC drama that is shown on ABC in Australia. At one point they were looking for some bad guys, and came up with a company called ‘Cardassian Financial Services’. Through …
