I'm not sure how I missed this whole thread since Sept. 25th, but it appears that I did. KK, I am so sorry to hear about your leg. I hope your lawyer is a shark, and that that surgeon ...well, I can't actually think of a suitable torture, but I'm sure the lawyer-shark will hit him where it hurts.

Vent/rant. Windows delivered. Windows safely stored. Contractor too busy to install them!!

They haven't always had that ability though... I've been listening to the audio reconstruction of Dalek's Master Plan for the past week. In one part a Dalek it was stopped by placing stones around its base.

Thanks Shel! It's been a crazy 10 years. Virtually nothing I've touched has come out correctly ;o(

Now my mini rant. I'm used to hearing the foghorns, but there must be s newly installed one. They sound like they're in my backyard. That got a bolt out of bed!

Here, it's invariably BRAINLOCK. But three sites? Man. That actually sounds unnervingly peculiar.

Happens to me periodically at work. The security wienies periodically send out a GPO to delete all cookies. I think it's to insure that everyone has all their passwords written on postits and stuck to their monitors!

I'm just not seeing the logic behind a regular add in the Huffington Post app on my tablet. It tries to convince me to download the AOL app from the Apple App Store. What makes it silly, IMHO, is that I get this add on my Android tablet.

<RANT> WHY do developers think they can pretend they are IT?!!! I don't try to do their [expletive deleted] job, why do they think they can do mine? And why do I always have to clean up the mess after. Without, of course, anyone actually admitting they did anything like create a fixed size VHD file on a remote server and mount it with iSCSI and pretend that it will never run out of space? Or, to fix the problem, create a REALLY LARGE dynamic VHD that suddenly runs out of space on the host system?!</RANT>

Sigh. My morning has been fun.

Disk quotas are just made for that sort of problem. Is there a reason you can't impose them?
