@timekord - just not sure that people aren’t pushing it away by giving such a long lead in - 2015? I’d rather grapple with 2010
@timekord - do you still think we’ve got 7 years? Looks like it’s moving much faster than that to me.

reading about Fast-Flux networks - http://tinyurl.com/2aqa49 - seriously organised crime indeed.
nice to be home - trains not such a nightmare as I’d expected.
on a dialup connection in the Lakes - couldn’t be dealing with this day to day, guess I’m addicted to ADSL
yikes - the beta’s no great shakes but in the new download section is the HealthVault SDK - http://tinyurl.com/2zq78w - eek!
ooh - verily am I blessed. Went to patch my machine and got invited to the Silverlight beta of windows update - http://tinyurl.com/25nflr
@lizboyden - that’s it! It’s about getting their attention - and then keeping it. So - no change there :)

@timekord - you need to request an invite code - http://tinyurl.com/2c2qha - like that it allows on page comments
@timekord - don’t think you can sign up to Jaiku yet - they put a hold on new subscribers. Don’t think its as good as tumblr
no problems with Windows Live on the Vye. Damn - now I’ve got to learn to use the blasted things. Bloggind on MS? Doesn’t seem right.
Quote of the day from Raz while we’re playing table tennis - “put your tentacles away!” Think thats a reference to me being a bit skinny :)

this is running through 79 - still not looking hopeful
Going to try on a different machine
Don’t think BITS is the answer but NOW update won’t let me patch without including the Office SP1 - no exclude option I can see - Yikes
636MB of patches needed on my machine! It’s ok - Office07 SP1 is out :) Think I need to upgrade BITS
looks like event 5000 - Error 0x80072EFD - this KB article http://tinyurl.com/2eorwa - Joy unbounded.
nope - still failing. proxy is ok - firewall off. going to try just Live Messenger
…not optimistic
ok - didn’t take that long. I’m clean now, trying again.
ok - Help says clean temporary files - run - cleanmgr. DiskCleanup is going to take *ages* aaargghhh
don’t think it’s working - they all say “waiting” whereas they’re supposed to come into use as soon as they’re installed
reboot - message comes up 17 unannounced errors in last session - do you want to send them now? Sent - trying again
the installer has seized up - I’ll try rebooting
Ok run I’ve run the update, now it’s checking my computer for components - not hopeful.
Failed again - click “Get Help With This” link - Aah! There’s an outstanding update - reminds me I’ve got more important patching to do.
Waiting, waiting…
I will not be discouraged - lets try again, except this time….. I’m going to go and have a cup of tea.
Perfect. Installation failed - try again later - no other info. Way to go MS.
Ooh look, I get a “Sign-in-Assistant”. I’ve always found signing in *really hard* so that’s nice.
“Sorry, this is taking a little longer than expected….” Yeah, right - not by me it isn’t
it feels like installing AOL or something - yeughh.
oh bum - well I suppose I have to some time - installing Windows Live - http://tinyurl.com/yehu82 Lets see if it cacks up my machine
Flixn - bit of a shame as it’s *integrated* into Zoho Notebook - much more feature rich than I’d realised
looking at flixn - http://tinyurl.com/36sogx web hosted cam messaging - doesn’t work throught the firewall though - booo
