As documented on my Caching blog I managed to do 9 caches over the weekend and collect 3 travel bugs and two trig points which is a pretty good tally. My knees are aching a bit though and I was very glad of my two walking poles when coming down the hill at Shutlingsloe. I was able to use them as crutches, put my weight on them and allow me to navigate down the hill without too much pain. Today, two days later, my knees were protesting a little bit when we doing the caches, even though I’d specifically chosed caches with terrain less than 2 (although that relies on you parking in the correct spot for the cache!) but I was able to walk without much assistance. So as the Doctor said a week or two ago – I just need to get used to it. As soon as they’ve recovered a bit more I need to get back on the eliptical cross trainer to build the strength in the knees.
I changed the menu on the right hand side to put the archives in a nifty drop down menu, and added a category selection too. Code was taken from une very stylish fille: Drop down menus in TypePad but you can actually use the code as-is in MovableType – no changes necessary. Thanks Daisy for posting the link
We had a package addressed to our marketing manager. On the front cover of the label was a label saying “contains delicate medical material – ViagraLolly”. This caused much amusement in the office as you can imagine. Inside was the Viagra Lolly – an effective cure for idea impotence. Although its a spoof item to help your “creative juices flowing” in the wrong companys hands (ie ours) this could cause major problems with a lot of mickey taking and embaressment for the recipient.
Exchange FAQs will be an interesting source of help for exchange.
From Slayeroffice is a Mouseover DOM inspector which to the unitiated is a bookmark you put on your links bar and then when you click it and move your mouse over the webpage a popup window tells you whether the area is a div,p,tr,td etc. VERY handy for debugging a rogue web page.Thanks to ScriptyGoddess for this useful link
In a story on Reuters which I had to check to make sure wasn’t published on the 1st April, Jewellery in your eyeball now seems to be the new “subtle” body piercing (which seems painful enough already!). Thanks Richard
As part of the move to the Azur Group I need to add email address’s of the other users to our mail server. Apparently Microsoft have a utility, csvde, which allows you to Import Contacts and User Objects into Active Directory as documented by this knowledge base article. However there are several changes you need to make to the source file, extracted from Exchange 5.5 and the mappings that need changing are described in KB 281563. The daft thing is that the first page tells you that you need to change various field names, giving examples and to see the second page for more information. But the second page doesn’t mention the examples that they use. So in the end I recreated the contacts by hand.

Norton’s went nuts overnight deciding that I had several Bloodhound Exploit 6 occurances in my incoming mail and has quarantined them. Annoyingly its in the log file (which is a .txt file) so I can’t see who sent it to me as its blocked access to the logs. (which incidentally is why you should always exclude the exchange server directory from antivirus scanning!).
Update I got into the logs….
Update 2This one has been written up on codefish
A bit late, but I finally managed to get my “spring” photo’s online – the daffodils are very photogenic at Astbury, the cows were feeding and lambs were cute. I’ve also uploaded a few more pictures of edale where Ruth, Tim and I went for an impromptu walk after meeting up for my birthday. It was a fairly deep valley but with easily climbed sides to take the pictures of Ruth and the stones are meant to say A and K in a heart (but you need superdooper eyesight to make that one out.
Sometime ago my car reached its 40000 mile point which is a miracle considering the number of times it has been in the garage. The weird thing is that the trip was exactly 400.0 miles too.
