Geek Stuff:
This made me laugh. I am playing with an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) used to monitor networks for hacking attempts. I looked at the config files and saw this

config classification: kickass-porn,SCORE! Get the lotion!,1

It turns out there is a whole section on detecting porn requests. This would have been prefect for finding the mythological porn site I was always searching for at my last job.

The plan for tomorrow is to go visit and cook some food. On the menu is Orange and Carrot Soup, Mushroom risotto, Something with meat in it (I am not in charge of it) roasted potatoes, and to finish upside down pudding. 🙂

The power just dipped, then popped then went out completely then came back on. Now i am going to be waiting for ever for my fileserver/dns server to recheck the hard disk then come back online. Just as well I don’t actually need it tonight. If I knew I was going to be staying in the country I would have bought a couple UPS. I have way to much computer equipment and the cable box doesn’t come back on when the power goes out so the Tivo can’t change the channels and record stuff. This kind of thing normally happens when I leave to go on holiday and I come back to find that many hours of nothing has been recorded while away. In fact had I actually gone home for christmas this is exactly what would have happened.

Just looked at shop.bbcamerica.com How ever put together this site needs to do some shopping in the US, there are a lot of stuff on here that I can get at Giant my local supermarket for a lot less then they are asking for on this web site, for example Lucozade, horlicks, Ribena, Golden Shred, Sarson’s Malt Vinegar. I mean do I really need to buy imported Vinegar? Plus they are asking for a $20 min order. I am much better off at Britishfood.com but they are out of stock of Irn Bru. Ick
