At times like this its fair to say I’m a little doom and gloom. I have finally come to the point where I must get a job. The business, although improving and constantly showing signs, just isn’t actually taking off. I fully intend on supporting all the customers I have and trying my hardest to [...]

Today was a pretty boring day if I’m to be honest, I spent a little time fiddling with a Baycom modem I have and managed to get bugger all to work with it, mainly due to the fact that Windows XP doesn’t like things working with serial ports, seems funny to have to use and [...]

Well what can I say, the VPN box I put in for my client yesterday won’t work. Seems Wanadoo are one of only two ISP’s in the UK that do not support VPN Tunnels (AOL being the other). So I had to phone the client and explain they need to change ISP so they can [...]

Went and installed a VPN box for a client today and set it up so they could access the site from remote, allowing them to use some software remotely. Also sort out a few other problems for them, email silly accounts and a printer. Then off to the hospital with the wife for a meeting, [...]

Ok first things first – Make sure the ISP you are with supports VPN sessions, a few (Wanadoo, AOL) don’t. Next try and use a Hardware router as the VPN Server, otherwise you will need to leave a PC on and fiddle with allowing traffic through for it (remember that some routers just refuse to [...]

Today I have to call about the results of my blood test and to be frank I’m scared. You see there is a very real chance I could have cancer, something I have a horrid feeling is true. If so I’m going to have to make some massive changes in the short time I possibly [...]

Been offered a whole bunch of Xbox’s cheap (£50 each).. And could possibly make a bit of money selling them on, either with or without chips in them. Thing is do I want to get involved in that sort of thing again, I still have a stack of Xbox and PS2 Modchips laying in a [...]

The wife popped off to do her Amateur Radio thing this morning and I was supposed to pop round and pick up Lemmy for some Antics with the Video Camera and silly stuff. Sadly he didn’t feel up to it.. But soldering iron in hand I decided to do some work on the Expert Cartridge, [...]

Started the day with a call from a company where both myself and Lemmy had dropped some leaflets, strangely it was one I commented about too. So have to arrange a meeting next week with them to see exactly what they need and more importantly what suits them at the moment. No point them buying [...]

Ok so where to start… Hmm Popped to the Doctors this morning for another blood test, seems the local vampire population is on a drinking binge and likes the odd classic between special brew victims. Told the nurse about the HUGE bruise I had last time and she told me it wouldn’t be a problem, [...]
