Miscellany: Week Beginning ... September 19
Another Monday, I guess this means another week! Work task for this week: commission a brace of new servers for "virtualisation" ... I'll say no more.

Ah! You know there's nothing you like more than setting up new servers. All that hair-pulling and head-banging when something doesn't work.
I have a server here, which started out back in the 90's as a RAID box. Since then the internal bits have all been swapped a couple of times at least. Messing with computers is half the fun.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Miscellany: Week Beginning ... September 19
Good Morning,
I've been up for a while now and though it's a tad chilly again, at least it's not as murky as yesterday.
Hope you have a good day.
Will.
p.s. Though I always try to avoid using the C word, this early. Christmas is only 13 weeks away.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Thinks: Why are Pirates all with extreme West Country Accents? The most common source of Mariners is The Thames, Liverpool, Southampton. (yes I know theres some from Bristol and Swansea).

It's a trade secret, GLO. I could tell you, but then I'd have to make you walk the plank. Or hang you from the yard-arms.

HHMMMMnnnn... Theres a Famous Photy - about 1910 (No, don't ask me to find it) of the Sivertown Docks with an open top Double Deck Bus (No 101 I think) passing under The Bowsprit of a ship WAYYYY above bus level, that was parked in the Dock. A Truly enormous vessel, Much bigger than those tiny film/tv show the Pirates ship to be. Now I can Understand London Pirates being proud enough speak Cockney, but have no idea why a west country would be proud enough to advertise their tiny undersized West Country Ships.

Good Morning people,
I'm up eating toast, drinking coffee and watching CNN news coverage of the people protests in Charlotte, NC.
I have a cousin who lives there. She has done for years. Her husband - before he retired - was a deputy fire chief.

Could you all keep your fingers crossed, please. I have to be out for most of the morning/afternoon. After 10 hours of non-stop rain. It's dry at the moment. It looks like we may even have some sunshine later. Being dry is - for me at least - much better than being soaked.

Well, no rain here (South Essex) last night - I know because I was awake most of the night.
Now I cant stay awake.. So If I drop off, Ignore me.
