The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
OK, so I must have missed the upgrade notification…but it would appear that we are all dealing with Web 2.0 these days…by the mere act of blogging this, I have added to the interactive and social aspect of the web (apparently).
I don’t understand the term to be honest..I mean, surely it is just Web with [...]
Photo by Rachel YoungI have always worked in IT…well, except for that couple of months in a car body repair shop straight out of school…..but even then I ended up sorting their computer out. The thing about working in any kind of service environment, but I think especially IT, is that you have to really [...]
…are hopefully over now.
I suppose these things are sent to try us. Initially I thought I had been hacked like last year, but a quick sweep around the system showed me that nothing was wrong. You see the server would run fine for a day and then die at around 19:00. Weird.
So I backed up [...]
…tis true. Years ago, I was working for a software house in Cheltenham. During this time the company were undergoing some major changes, including shutting down an office in Surrey and moving operations to Cheltenham. This meant getting 2 new buildings and setting them up from scratch. During this time we had mucho fun [...]

He did however find the [...]
So right now (according to my ISP), I have until Wednesday to wait until my net gets reconnected.
Quite frankly it is killing me at the moment. No blog to bore you senseless with, no pr0n to surf for (just kidding mum)..
No updates to my (perfectly legally acquired) TV show collection. I am [...]
I don’t recall the source, but someone is quoted as saying :
There are only two industries that call their customers users…think about that.
It’s a good point, and one that leads me to think that our users are, in fact, on drugs of some description..
Now, I run a Service Desk. It’s a relatively small team, [...]
So on Friday 14th all hell broke loose due to my server being attacked. This in turn took down every site attached to it (around 15-20), a couple gameservers and a voice chat server.
At 21:03, I recieve this email
Hello!
Please stop this or your server will be disconnected.
“List of attacks to other server.”
I probably don’t need [...]
