So here I was, playing a game in fable two with a colleague from work. (Xbox Live FTW!) We’re at the top of a cliff, which we can jump from. I notice a treasure chest at the top of the cliff, and point it out, timidly. He grabs the treasure, and I jump off the [...]

Slow day. Nothing really to report. I went to work, worked, had an Alexander lesson. Went with a colleague to pick up lunch, helped him out with his car. (What little I could, I’m not that good with cars ) Last night I fixed my friends Comicpress install.

Uploading a .htaccess in any other format [...]

So, I’m back to normal (ish) today. This weekend was interesting. My total awake count was 21 hours, till I got some sleep. Screwed up my bodyclock a bit, but I’ll be ok by the end of tomorrow.
Took the broken motherboard back to its originating shop in London today (http://www.yoyotech.co.uk). They’ll test it and let [...]

Managaged to nabb a spare console in-between van’s of servers.
I hate staying up all night - the ‘feeling awful’ stage, the zombie like stage (which is starting to set in) especially. Its not so bad if you’re doing something interesting (like playing computer games), but I’m rarely up this late.
Now I’ve got bad short term [...]

I’m sitting on the floor, in our new datacentre, tapping out a quick post. We’re moving servers from one datacentre to our nice shiny new one
This is the boring stage - waiting for the van to arrive. When it does, it will get manic here, till we calm back down. Unfortunately, I’ve managed [...]

But, it is 01:06 (And no, this post wasn’t scheduled to appear automatically), so technically, this is day 8!
I’ll probably be posting again later today, about what I’m up to tonight. (May not have the time, though, so this is my insurance ) I realized, staring at the image, that I’ve not said anything [...]

Wahoo! I’ve been able to post every day for a week! I wasn’t quite sure that I’d manage it. I’ve come quite close (half an hour) to failing.
Had some advise and help from a colleague working on my new desktop - pulled the motherboard back out of the case, and rested it on the [...]

I spent this evening building my new computer, getting it all plugged in with the cables tidied away in a small (read a little too small) case.
3 hours later, everything is connected. Moment of truth… and nothing happens. Red light on the motherboard, not POSTing. 1 On initial power, the CPU fan twitches.
I’ve seen this [...]

Today, I was planning on scanning through NaBlogPoMo’s blogroll and pick out a couple of good ones. However, life always likes to intervene, and at about 1730 a server decided to fail. Wouldn’t boot up, nothing on the console.
As I’m on call this week, it was my turn to head into the datacentre, to have [...]

Last night I posted on twitter that I was struggling to find stuff to post about. jkblacker (Not bassets, sorry Josh!) suggested that I post about how I’m finding it hard to find stuff to post about… so here it is
Not exactly the most spectacular day 4, especially since I’ve got 26 left [...]
