What nothing to do?

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Shocking really when you get a Monday and find you have sod all to do. Had a call from a client who has a contract, one I was not expecting them to sign up for to be honest, they asked some questions about it and were surprised to find I’m not giving them a *free* [...]

It is now becoming an art form finding out which viruses/trojans/malware/worms are installed on machines and [...]

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

I have found a couple of times now that the logmein mirror driver for the display will sometimes crash or cause a PC to crash. Now I’m not sure why this happens but if you disable the driver it still works ok (although I expect not as well) but the machine(s) become more stable so [...]
