Slow in fact due to the fact that the countdown has commenced – 161 hours and 40 minutes (as I type this) until the damn cast comes off (not that I’m counting mind).<\/p>\n
The boss is chirpy this week – he’s got his first order of the year – about half as much as my total thus far, AND mine are more profitable.<\/p>\n
Managed to get the new machine up and running (mostly anyway) at work – it’s not connecting to the bankline though, so everyone will have to be paid by cheque until Corina comes in and divulges our customer ID and password (no-one will talk to me without those – bastards). I even spent a few hours trawling files on the old hard drive looking for a clue. That and showing the boss how EVERY site visited is stored in the index.dat files, and THAT’S why I religiously clean ALL the computers every week, prior to making a backup.<\/p>\n
System administrators love backups – it’s a great excuse to randomly move people on and off different machines (for no real reason other than the power trip) with the comment “I need to backup data from this one now…” (yes, before you all say it – the machines are all networked and everything can be done from my machine – network name ‘God’ – but I don’t need to let them know that…)<\/p>\n
To jump off on a tangent…my mobile phone really needs to have the firmware updated: the menus are scrolling very slowly, and that’s annoying. I’m hoping that the newer firmware will allow me to change the SMS tone too – why the hell Samsung made them fixed on the D900 I have no idea – seems everyone moans about this.<\/p>\n
