mmmmmmm – had a new taste in Chinese cooking last night – decided to have Kung Po chicken – which is a pretty hot spicy flavour but still fairly sweet (which is nice as I have a sweet tooth). I had no idea what it was going to taste like – it was a random choice from the menu. Tasted really good though. Mind you, the water chestnuts looked suspiciously like nail clippings from elephant toes 🙂 (only joking!)
aha! caught my host in the act or rebooting my webserver 🙁
Thought it was happening when i couldn’t browse my logfiles, and then checked the entry about the server rebooting and sure enough…..(although I think they actually just stopped and started the webservice.
Another email from Pipex to say that everything is almost there and they sent me a url to a setup guide. Unfortunately to download the setup guide you need system information which they haven’t given me 🙁
Which to use a cockney rhyming slang – that Elephant toes 🙂
Had a bit of a scare on the office computer on Thursday – went to uninstall some programs and noticed something called SaveNow in the list of programs. Checked this out with Google and discovered that it was some spyware and had come with a copy of Global Divx – a pretty good free dvd/cd player. Apparently if you install it there is an option to do a custom install and at that point you can unselect SaveNow.
Its pretty annoying software so uninstall SaveNow if you have it and then also run LavaSofts AdAware
which will go through your computer and show you whats left (as it doesn’t uninstall everything!)
Winston like the new office – he’s currently rolling on the floor and sniffing everyone he’s never seen before! Some pictures are up at the Webcam page
If you are on our wabswos mailing list and didn’t get a copy in the past day or so – please let me know as there are several subscribers whos email address’s are bouncing.
I hate decorating! Not even started yet as I am in the process of clearing out the office – you really wouldnt notice the difference! Had to run out and get some cartons to put all the junk in temporarily. Do you know how hard it is to find some cardboard boxes? I think it would be easier to find elephant toes (although I do think that Elephant toes are illegal exports so you are unlikely to find them in the uk too!)
Well the google challenge is to come up with the phrase elephants toes. Looking at what is already at google for these two words, then it is going to be pretty difficult – especially as we are not allowed to spam our entries but have to sneak the phrase in so unless I suddenly decide to get a toe fetish or someone gives me a load of money so I can go to Africa on safari and study elephants, especially to prove whether they really do only have 4 toes or not, then it is going to be pretty hard to actually get my entry listed under google…..
Still – we’ll see!
England should play Brazil *every* Morning between 7.30 and 9am and also 4.30 and 6pm so that there is no traffic on the roads. Driving to work this morning was a dream – hardly any traffic on the roads and the vehicles that were on the road tended to be lorries which were easy to overtake as there was nothing coming the other way – brilliant!
woohoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
