Netball

Tonight we got flogged in out netball game, but that wasn’t too bad as it will probably keep us in the grade we should be in. Now I’m tired, and I’m going to bed..

Trivia Night & Youth Mass

Had a great night Friday with the Trivia Night, and lost badly. Saturday night went to the youth Mass at St Peter Julian’s in Mooroolbark and then round to one of the parishoners for dinner afterwards. Sunday spent the day relaxing until it was time to go to Cornerstone (our music ministry) & Mass.

Trivia Night

Tomorow I’m off to a Trivia night with our friend Dianne. I’ve been on the winning team at 2 of the last three Trivia nights I’ve been to, though the prize I won at the last one was a bottle of Queen Adelaide Chardonnay. 🙁

WebBench

I’ve been rather busy running WebBench tests on all the servers. I had to end up running the CGI benchmarks as well, because the static tests were pushing the limits of the switch. I unboxed one of the vendors machines and was rather happy to find they had installed Red Hat Linux. I’m going to take one of the machines that has 2000 on it and reinstall with Red Hat, so I can compare both on the same hardware. I’m most of the way through installing all the Win32 software on my machine. When I finish, I’ll Ghost it onto my new 20GB disk and the install Linux on the other half.

Letter Paper

Oh My God, I’m soooo embarrassed.. I just sent a letter sized print job to the printer, and wondered why it never came out! Now I know this is a bad day. Having said that, the WebBench tests are running much better now that we chucked out some of the older machines we were using as clients and replaces them with a few newer machines we had lying around. My desktop is running again, there were a few problems earlier, you have to run some of the critical updates to Windows ME before you can install the Netware client. Now it all works fine.

My Machine Dies

Maybe I should just not be near anything electronic at all. WebBench is still not working, but the most painful thing of all is that the hard disk on my main computer at work failed totally during the night. The machine was just sitting there with Invalid boot disk” on the screen and I knew something was up!! I turned the machine off and back on again, and the hard disk gave a nice loud CLICK and that was about it. I did manage to get it to try and start once, but it failed again after a minute or so. Oh well, another hard disk and a re-install is proceeding
