I locked myself out of one of my 1&1 hosted servers because I forgot that it was tied to my fixed IP address, and my ISP changed my fixed IP due to some network reconfiguration.... it's not like they gave me 3 months' notice or anything... oh wait, they did. And I still failed to change the server IP restriction in time. So had to find a way in.

Just had an email from a new account manager at one of our suppliers... I just love the opening sentence:

Just in case anyone's interested, my movie database exports are online, thusly:

With the heaviest of hearts, we had to say goodbye to Black Cat today. He had some form of growth in his airways and was starting to have had enough. The vet was wonderful and he did not suffer.
I am already missing him so much that I wonder whether there may be something wrong with me.
There are some photos, far too many photos possibly, here.
End of an era. Goodbye my friend.

catalogue their film collection, or films they like, or anything to do with lists of films, need look no further than DVDpedia.

Google don't come up with a contact sync service in the not too distant future.

So I've removed one of our Drobo Pros from the data centre to try and work out what's going on with it, because it's been behaving oddly.

Been trying their 'Platinum' service to keep iPhone, iPad, GMail, Google Apps Mail, and a number of Macs' address books all in sync.

Here is my support chat log, if you can be arsed:

I just got the following alert from one of our monitoring systems:

So I turned my 3 monitors off at the mains (all in a single 4-way), then about 30 seconds later remembered something else I had to do so I turned them back on.

I googled for bulk quantities of Blu-Tack the other day, since my lumps of it it seem mysteriously to shrink overnight, and I found Pink-Tack.
Which was nice.
I ordered some but only because it was cheaper than the blue stuff (wonder why?)

I spent HOURS last night putting the RF (as opposed to infra-red) remote volume control that went in the original Obsidian prototype power amp I built a few years back, into its own housing, so I could hide the power amp we use in the front room in a cupboard (RF required since it penetrates wood somewhat better than IR :)

I recently installed 10.10 (Maverick Meercat) and it is absurdly good. Very polished, and piss-easy to install and configure.
|
I'm fairly sure this is a "bonus feature", since I've not seen it advertised anywhere.
|
Wonder what they will do. My money's on a humourless one-line response from a nameless droid quoting a price. We can try, though. Maybe they have some pride in their product.

According to Mr Bartlett of this parish, anyway.
Sorry. I couldn't possibly get all this in in 140 characters :-)
