Amy Langfield has a really interesting story about her experience getting stuck in the underground in NewYork and the long wait to get home. Fortunately she was only 2 blocks away from her house. It’s still a pretty scary story and insight into how it would be getting stuck. She is a journalist so the writing is of a very good standard (with loads of interesting links too)

I need to find a way of spamencoding emails on the website (or removing the email address’s from MT as I think I got my email address crawled from it. At the moment the only spams that seem to be getting through to my mailbox are the Nigerian 411 ones.
I’ve also had symantec’s console have its password changed in the past and Kevin’s details the changes. All you do is change HKLM\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\ConsolePassword to 1084A085DC6BD2D755D4D6A7726 and then use the password symantec
(I’ve repeated it here so I have a local archive in case Kev’s page ever disappears.)
Last Friday we went to Panama Hattys with a couple of friends and had a really good night. Booking is essential, but you then basically have the table for the night – They seat you in a nice lounge whilst they cook your food then move you to the table when your food is ready. Finally when we finished they were in no hurry to get us out the restaurant and we must have been there a good hour after eating before they came over and asked if we wanted the bill.
I was going to blog about it earlier but hadn’t found the url for it. Searching in google for panama hatties cheshire of use, but searching for Panama Hattys Cheshire finds relevant hits on the first page. The weird thing is that the home page of panamahatties.co.uk and panamahattys.co.uk actually work but are not in google. Normally having the search term in the url brings the page up pretty close to the top of the search results. (The pages actually point to the same site though.)
Problem is this page will probably be at the top of google in a week or two 🙂
Microsoft have a pretty good page about the blast worm and links to all the various utilities and various anti-virus software packages that deals with this. They don’t mention AVG software though which considering is free and therefore widely used I’m suprised it wasn’t covered.

I wouldn’t have thought that organising an adsl modem to work in conjunction with a hardware firewall would be that difficult. But I’ve been receiving conflicting advise over what routers/functionality needs to be installed. All I need is an router/modem that is effectively invisible to the firewall so it thinks it is connected to the internet and can get on with its filtering,vpn’s and protection. However I am being ignored by BT, the company we are probably going to buy Broadband from (yet another reason to not use them – if they are this bad when we *want* to spend some money with them I hate to think what they will be like when we have a problem), our existing firewall support won’t help unless we buy one particular make of router and get broadband from one particular supplier, and the firewall company won’t help as they say its the resellers problem – so back to square one…..Almost makes me want to go to dialup modem! The fact that we can’t order broadband until the physical line is installed and live also makes a mockery of the whole broadband ordering process.
Now that i am using ZipGenius on the pc I was unable to open a .tgz file within this application – at least not on my xp desktop – the w2k machine opened it, but was unable to extract (weird). In the end I ended up downloading wingz11.zip which did the trick.
I didn’t get round to blog the fact that yesterday was our two million, one hundred and three thousand, eight hundred and fortieth wedding anniversary (in minutes in case you were wondering). I’ll leave you to work out how many years that was. We went to TGI’s for a meal which was ok – food was nice but service could have been better and it was very noisy – not the best place for a romantic evening meal 🙂
The power supply arrived this morning about 3 minutes before I was due to go to work so I’ve not had a chance to use it yet – hopefully it all works tonight!
