The local authority I (used to) work for transferred our dept to Capita at the begining of Feb. I have had to drastically cut back to a minimum amount of browsing during work time. Before there was a woolly policy about internet use. However, my new employer begins their internet use and email policy with the phrase "You have no right to privacy"

I'm glad that my Brian Blessed impression didn't freak EVERYONE out. I'm well, thanks. Final semester. Argh. And I've been getting some lovely poetry in my spam too. But even better is the amount of recipes I get for Spam, being a GMail user.

(Inkspot) In that case don't do any more work than you absolutely have to. I hope at least you've retained your salary level.

MCIOS went down at 2.54 am today.

For about 5 minutes. You'd think a guy could take a server down for maintenance at 3 am in the user base's time zone.
