Ok, yeah.. I’ve been away in Edinburgh and Switzerland visiting friends. I’ve had a great time. I’ll put some photos up soon.

Woo hooo I have work

Well, Dubya won the elections. How will the American’s cope having a chimp for a president for another 4 years? Oh well, at least I don’t have to (directly) worry about it.

Spyware is crap. Maybe McAfee 8.0i can get rid of some of it. I sent off a virus sample to NAI today for analysis. Let’s see what they come back with.

I want to go and visit some people, but I can’t afford to because I’m off to Switzerland to visit Harry at the end of the month, which I’m really looking forward to. But still, it means I’ve got no free cash available right now.

I fitted the master BT socket (an NTE5A) in my house tonight, which you aren’t meant to do yourself, but it worked straight away (I got a “line inactive” tone). That’s saved me about £75, by not having a BT engineer to come and screw two wires into the back of a socket and then screw the socket to the wall. Using nefarious tactics, my Dad managed to wangle a socket off a passing BT engineer (ie. he chatted with the engineer and the engineer gave him the socket for nothing!).

I am watching the zero air temperature height line. Will it drop below the height of the Flumserberg ski lifts, by the time Clare and Beezly come to visit in a few weeks?
