Loads of neat desktops and some free stock photo’s. I’m blogging this for future reference although Kristen got me (another copy of) digital photographer magazine which is really inspiring for photography.

The US airforce drop a practice bomb, but its’ ok – it was inert……..still caused an 18″ crater though!
The latest fines news as Speeding drivers face victim levy. This is getting daft, I’m going to need a category soon just for all the fine related items I’ve blogged about. Now they are adding £5 to speeding fines etc to pay for victim support. Why don’t they actually make the perpetrator pay for victim support – not speeding motorist, who seem to be yet again a soft target. Note that I’m not condoning speeding!

Spent the last two days on three Geocache’s. Yesterday I hid my first Geocache near the office – about 10 mins walk away – as of yet, 24 hours later, no-one has visited (although it took a while for it to be approved). Today i went back and tried to find the Bosley Locks one and STILL can’t find it. In disgust I went up to the Cloud, which overlooks Congleton and found the Cumulonimbus Crevice cache and left my double-blank travel bug there.
Symantec have published an article about why since January 7th your computer slows down and Microsoft Word and Excel will not start. Rob – this could be your problem? I noticed that around this date our Internet bandwidth was running at 100% used! The workaround is to disable Certificate revocation….
It wasn’t until I got back to the main office and switched on my Axim that I realised it had somehow been running Pocketwarrior this morning and detected 3 wireless lans in the building that I was in – all three without WEP installed, ssid’s of 3Com, Default and Actiontec. Looks like someone doesn’t know what they are doing!
The server that I had to do a full restore on yesterday was scary…After it was plugged back in the domain it would not allow clients to authenticate. I suspected that this was due to the fact that it was restored from a tape over 2 weeks old and therefore the SAM on this server was out of date with the SAM on the PDC. Trying to use netdom (the one from supplement 4 to the resource kit) kept on coming up with access denied errors and was therefore not much use. Overnight I scheduled a reboot of the pdc and did nothing else to the BDC as I was going to attempt a fix this morning…however when I got there, the users were working away – I guess the reboot had synched everything up properly (thankfully)
Now the entire house contents covered in foil would give me a headache. Thanks Accetura
