  1. Morning All, It is a nice bright morning in this part of the world. Still pretty chilly, but there is a definite sign of Spring in the air. There isn't a lot else to report, so I guess it is time for a coffee! Have a good day everyone...
  2. Morning All, It is a nice bright, but cold morning in this part of the world. The temperature is down around -2°C but it is crystal clear. There isn't a lot else to report, so have a good day everyone...
  3. Morning All, The temperature has dropped quite significantly again this morning. We are below freezing with quite a heavy frost. Having said that, it is nice a bright. Time for a coffee! Have a good day everyone...
  4. Morning All, After a quiet weekend, I am not feeling a lot better. Whatever it was that I had last week, it wasn't worth having! It is a fairly mild morning, with patchy cloud. In fact, quite a nice early Spring day. Have a good one everybody...
  5. Morning All, It is a rather grey morning in this part of the world. However, it is dry and fairly mild. The wind has dropped at last! Time for a coffee. Have a good day everyone...
  6. Nice to see a Vax in there. I have a logical map of the Arpanet on my office wall from 1977 and it is almost exclusively DEC machines. The Digital Equipment Corporation were responsible for writing much of the network protocol software that we use every day without thinking about it. Back in around 1992, our Vax cluster was connected to the fledgling Internet with a 2Mbit Wide-Ethernet backbone. We were very proud of the fact that we had the same bandwidth as the whole of Yugoslavia!
  7. Morning All, It is a rather blustery morning in this part of the world. Fairly mild, and a little damp. There isn't a lot else to report, so I guess it is time for a coffee! Have a good day everyone...
  8. Morning All, Time for me to check in, having been absent for a few days. I went to a meeting on Friday, came back on Saturday and promptly went down with something. I've spent the past two days at home, but it seems to have improved this morning. At least enough that I made it to work! It has been a very windy few days, but seems calmer this morning. A belated happy Anniversary to Neil and his wife and best wishes to anyone I've forgotten. Have a good day everyone...
  9. Morning All, We have a very blustery day in this part of the world. Looking out of the office window this morning, there is a leaden sky with skudding clouds. However, it is quite clear and certainly very mild for the time of year. There isn't a lot else to report, so I guess it is time for a coffee! Have a good day everyone...
  10. Morning All, It is just starting to get light in this part of the world. It is dry and blustery at the moment. Showers are forecast for later. Time for a coffee! Have a good day everyone...
  11. Morning all, It is a cloudy, but mild morning in this part of the world. The forecast suggests we will have a storm later. Time for a coffee. Have a good day everyone...
  12. Morning All, The temperature has fallen, and the weather has deteriorated generally. It's heavy rain and around 9°C this morning. Having said that, this is much more typical February weather. Time for a coffee! Have a good day everyone...
  13. Morning All, It is a nice bright morning in this part of the world. It is also starting to get light earlier which is nice. Agreed! There is no cloud - it's just somebody else's computer. Have a good day everyone...
  14. Morning All, It is a fairly chilly -1°C this morning, but according to the weather forecast it is likely to reach 20°C this afternoon - making it the warmest February day ever. On the subject of non-conformists - my Dad had a colleague back in the 70s who used to keep a small address book of cheap places to stay while on business trips. He reckoned he could stay anywhere in the country without spending anything more than some ridiculously small amount of money. My Dad travelled with him a few times and said they ended up in all manor of flea pit B&Bs, non-conformist hostels and temperance hotels. He said it was certainly an interesting experience - but strangely enough, nobody wanted to take the book over when the guy retired! Have a good day everyone...
  15. Morning All, It is a nice bright morning in this part of the world. It is still pretty cold though, -1°C in the forest on the way to work. There are definitely signs of Spring in the air, but we are behind the UK at the moment. My Mum was saying that she already has daffodils and crocuses out in the garden, whereas here they are only just starting to appear. Have a good day everyone...
  16. Glad to see it wasn't just me with the "Your registration is complete".
  17. Morning All, Not a lot to report, as a quiet weekend was had. The weather was very nice - although too warm for the time of year. Did anyone else get e-mails from RMweb overnight that "Your registration is complete"? I am just wondering if this is a glitch in the new software! Have a good day everyone...
  18. Morning All, It is a fairly balmy 10°C this morning. Maybe the first signs of Spring? Time for a coffee. Have a good day everyone...
  19. Morning All, We have another somewhat frosty morning - the temperature is down around freezing today. There isn't a lot else to report, so I guess it is time for a coffee! Have a good day everyone...
  20. Morning All, It is a reasonable morning in this part of the world. Somewhat chilly (around -1°C) but nothing out of the ordinary for the time of year. We did have a fairly heavy frost today. On the subject of keyboards, I almost exclusively use a German one - regardless of whether I am writing English or German. The most noticible difference being the swapping of the "Y" and "Z". Some of the characters are not as easily accessible as they are on a US/UK keyboard, but you tend to get used to it. (For example { is <Alt Gr>-7, @ is <Alt Gr>-q and € is <Alt Gr>-E) - This is primarily because of the addition of öäü and ß. I also have a key for grave and acute accents. Have a good day everyone...
  21. Morning All, It is a reasonably mild morning in this part of the world. We are also seeing the first signs of Spring, which is nice. However, I am not sure that we have definitely seen the last of the snow - it is probably too early to count on that! Time for a coffee. Have a good day everyone...
  22. Morning All, We had fantastic weather over the weekend. The mornings are still pretty cold (-3°C on the way to work today) but it has been sunny and clear during the day. Saturday was partially spent in the garden, getting some pruning and tidying done before everything starts to shoot. Sunday was spent doing relatively little, apart from going for a walk. Hopefully this week will be a little less hectic than last week was! Have a good day everyone...
  23. Morning All, It is another cold morning, but incredibly clear - so I think we will be in for a nice sunny day once the sun comes up. There isn't a lot else to report, so have a good day everyone...
  24. Morning All, There is no sign of any snow here. However, the temperature is down to around -3°C and we have quite a heavy frost. Another day of testing awaits, but first it is time for a coffee! Have a good day everyone...
