Easter

Over the Easter weekend Gina and myself went up to Newcastle and spent a few days with her family.

Her mom came up with the crazy idea of making some Easter eggs... and here are the results

The western front...

All is quiete around here and has been for a while.

This is mainly due to me having to learn ActionScript (again) to pull a project out of the gutter so I will be spending most of the weekend (and any other *spare* time I might have) living and breathing AS2 classes and wishing I was a lot better versed in the drawing API and the old EventDispatcher. Although I'm not doing bad having not done any serious ActionScript in the last 18 is months.

The project is top secret so I can't say much more but maybe I'll have some lovely little learnings to write about if and when I get the time.

WOW

This is ace.

It's like all that microsoft *seadragon* or what ever it was called

IPod what!

I'm sat on to virgin cross country service from Leeds to Sheffield and there is a girl sat next to me seemingly using an old laptop kitted out with iTunes to do nothing else but listen to music. I on the other hand am listening to music on my IPod, while blogging from my phone. Technology ay?!

Mail Me Do!

So today, on of our servers wouldn't send emails from a registration form which lead to a few of us scratching our heads (non of us are linux nerds [appart from jim - a bit]).

After a bit of digging we remembered that the server relays it's mail through one of the windows workstations. Matt checked the mail root on this box to find that it was crammed full. The drop box had 11,000 unsent mails from the last two days. The bad mail folder wouldn't open.

So Matt started set about deleting the items from a command prompt... It's now been running for over two hours and no sign of easing up. We're guessing at a couple of million emails in there.

Maybe it'll be done by tomorrow morning
