Spent yesterday installing Windows Server 2008 (which is free to academic staff) and configuring it so it is a Vista workstation. Works brilliantly and the whole Vista experience isn't as bad as its made out to be (once you disable the UAC).

The lump that Mrs Ginger has been getting very concerned about is benign.

I know a lot of techies who use Server 2008 as a client as it's essentially Vista without the bloat such as DRM.

I leave UAC on but with my account as an admin. Means I get the ease of running as an admin but with a simplified UAC approval to stop daft things running without permission.

Went to the gym earlier and was horrified to learn that I now weigh more than 89 kgs :O . Too much festive food methinks. A few of the Sedgeley Park and Swinton Lions players were there as well, I felt quite inadequate. :(

You shouldn't have shared that shower with them.

I had a very good night last night. Sexy, interesting, if not slightly bonkers company, great meal... :)

have we had the decorators in again ?

That was over for me on Monday, so all is calm again and I am approachable once more. :D

Next weekend I will finish decorating my bedroom, which is only half finished. :happy:

There's a crate of Delirium Tremens in our hall.

Sadly it's not ours.

Gutted! I love that stuff.

:blink:

With fava beans and a nice chianti?

No - went to San Luca. I've not been for a while and it was fab as always. :)

As an eleven year old child, I shot a baby elephant.

Oh no! Why? :(

That sounds pants!

There was me moaning to myself today that the car has been out of my hands a fortnight and he's filled it with those bloody annoying air freshners that make me want to be sick. I thought that was a woman's trick, but clearly not. The tracking is out too. :dry:

I have nothing to moan about though really now you've put it in perspective.

So do I. It's getting harder and harder to ignore it.

I haven't been there since it was the Ferryboat Inn. :)

It's lovely. Great food, fab service. You should take the missus/mistress. :D
