Both Domain controllers restored from tape (phew!). Drivers reinstalled for graphics,tape and network drives. So far we can get the servers on the network and see the data! Just now need to sort out services that are not restarting. the exchange server is taking a little bit longer to do though!

Well I got Kelly’s webpage working as a feed in Syndirella except that because her page uses javascript for the comments (as do most people) this crashes the program. I’ll email the developer.

I downloaded Sydirella and fired it up – only problem is that the blognames, days and times only have one character displayed in each field and I have NO idea how to scrape a webpage to get it to display feeds…. 🙁 This page displays ok but Jerry Kindalls and Kellys don’t

My friends pc is on its way to being mended now. The new 40GB hard disk with 8mb cache (thats almost more cache than my first hard disk size!) arrived sometime earlier this week.
