Sometime overnight our Caller ID and callsign were switched on. The daft thing is that they said it would be available today and to ring back to get the callsign number today. But they neglected to tell me that the department which would tell me my call sign number is not actually open on a Saturday. Fortunately I realised and checked yesterday in case they could tell me. There is not a lot of difference between the call sign rings to tell, the second number has one long burst rather than a brrr brrr thing.

A funny parady of hotornot is Am I an otter or not courtesy of the “Best British Blog” (bar mine of course) according to the guardian.

I found out the reason the hard disk was “full” with 1.7gb – it needed a scandisk and the results were several lost files (not 1gigs worth) and a wrongly calculated disk free. Space now goes down to 4mb – time to start pruning I think 🙂

Dont try and win something from Luckysurf as the only thing you are likely to get from joining up with them is spam. I (stupidly) joined up a long time ago using a unique email address so that I could track it, and have now started getting spam to that address – 5 in the last couple of days, so they are giving email address’s out to third partys and I *NEVER* tick the box to let them do that!

Any ideas why my 98 box keeps insisting that I am out of disk spac when I have 1.3GB left on my C: (windows boot and temp drive) location? Update Hopefully this little tinker, disabling the disk space cleaning program on all drives will do the trick.

Happy birthday Google – what did we do without you 4 years and 1 day ago????

Wow – noone complained that the comments were causing a javascript error. I think this is because everytime I change the template slightly in the blogger webpage, it changes the ampersand into the letters amp and puts it in twice. This then creates the javascript error. Now fixed 🙂

Register.com, the sneaky domain register has been caught out! They had made a “auto-renew” option for domain names and then signed people up to use it, apparently without them agreeing to it. This meant that people were getting their domains renewed, often at a higher price than somewhere else. They’ve had to stop now though as the amount of chargebacks that have occured due to people disputing the charges have meant its getting expensive for them 🙂
