Last night I had the idea that it would be nice to login to one of my servers (beastie.thefraggle.com) and grab a look at the squid configuration I wrote a while back to load balance my website, there was a slight problem with that, however; The server was inaccesible.

I’ve now found out that thanks to spammers, exim was using up so much system resource that the server had started swapping, and even running out of swap space!

OMG another event in my fun filled life. A chipped windscreen on my car

Today I had to go down to work to get my wallet that i’d left esterday evening (a mere 50 mile drive) so decided to take my camera and go for a walk/go the scenic route back. But not long after having got my wallet back, a bloody stone came up and chipped my windscreen, kind of making me want to just go home and ring to get it sorted

Bloody cars, if it needs a new windscreen it’ll cost me a £75 excess, and they won’t be able to get to me till monday

Oh well, hopefully I can get some decent shots tomorrow, I have an idea for a conceptual shot that I need to do in the morning, lets see how that gets on.

So this week started off pretty darn good … I was at a Nine Inch Nails gig on Monday night, which by the way was absolutley amazing

I’ve never been a huge NIN fan, however, this gig kind of turned my opinion around from thinking they were “ok” to thinking they are amazing performers. They had a great prescense on stage and really engaged the crowd, as well as playing a very good set. The one support act we got to see were good too, but their on-stage prescense wasn’t up to much (bloody good music though, band called ladytron).

Apart from that it’s just been work work work

Hopefully with not having anything planned for this weekend I can just get out into the lakes or the city and get some use out of the brand new camera I purchased last week A good excuse is to go back down to work to pick up my wallet I forgot to get before I left the office this evening.
