Another strange dream last night – In the dream I had my wallet stollen in a street fair in Ingleburn. If that was not strange enough I was talking to Ghandi when I was there, but he looked like Eddie …
I have been fighting with Microsoft all day! ALL DAY! I am getting almost nowhere. I have seen unhelpful error messages from Microsoft before, but a simple BEEP before using up 100% of the CPU on a program called ‘inetinfo.exe’ …
Microsoft never ceases to Amaze me. I can think of no other company that is so inconsistantly inconsistant. Case in point is SQL Server Express 2005 that comes free with VisualStudio 2005. This is a cut down version of the …
I could not work it out this morning when I installed Apple iTunes. iTunes had picked up exactly where I keep all my music files on the Network, and I could not work out how. After all, the area I …

I cannot believe how long it is taking to format this HDD. It has taken about an hour to format the 250 GByte HDD, and it is not even finished yet. I expect it to take probably another 15 minutes …
I sometimes like simple problems. Except when they require me to drive 40 minutes each way to fix a dumb problem. Thankfully today I also needed to make a small hardware mod, which meant my trip was not totally wasted. …
I would like to be able to say that I slept well last night. Unfortunately that is not the case, and I cannot even blame watching the world cup on this. Actually I cannot think of anything to blame – …
Home, Sweet Home! I have been working on the plane building for the last day and a half and I am not back home. It was really really productive today doing the building – with the floor being installed today, …
Most of the time IT Glitches cause real problems. In one case there are actually some advantages to the failure of an IT system. At the end of last year, Cadbury had a glut of chocolate due to accidentally over-ordering …
I have just seen the third X-Men movie, and I should say that I am somewhat dissapointed in the show. I was expecting it to be somewhat longer and different to the movie that was presented to us. The movie …
