Everytime family come and visit they befuddle the Tivo.
What do I mean?
I mean that two weeks of [insert favoured family viewing] really confuses our preferences. Instead of Pingu, Thomas, foreign language films and BBC crime dramas – we end up with US cop shows, WWII documentaries, romantic comedies and the weather channel.
First real winter storm of the year.
I was working in Provo at strategy meetings until late; I didn’t leave the office until 6pm.
I-15 was a nightmare. My usual thirty minute commute took almost two hours. Several inches of freezing snow on the freeway and the usual bad Utah driving.
Got home, cleared some snow and settled in. No tonic; so had to resort to gin and cranberry juice. Quite palatable actually.
Talk about time to value:

Sigh.
I keep tweaking and tightening my anti-spam rules for my mail server – but the amount of inbound spam is getting crazy. I’m catching about 95% of bad mail – and getting all viruses – but I’m looking at switching to a dedicated inbound mail filter.
I’m probably going to run SpamAssassin and ClamAV running on SLES9.
Don’t ask why – but I had need to reset an Administrator password on a Windows XP workstation today.
I had forgotten the password, it was locked out, the machine wasn’t in AD – and I was stuck.
Luckily there are a wealth of tools to help in this situation – including this. Petter Nordahl-Hagen has written a stunning Linux based boot floppy that just fixes things like this in seconds. Thanks Petter.
Time to take a moment and reflect.
