I wonder if there is any of the old “Busby” Puppets/Models/Anything still around I could get my hands on, and then film its destruction by the use of Thermite. I think something along those lines defiantly needs doing, as the Fat Yellow BarSteward...
Welcome to my Blog
This is actually Version 4 of my blog.
- Version 1: Was hand coded posts on my original Website back in the early 90’s before the term Blog was even invented.
- Version 2: Was on Livejournal
- Version 3: Was on the three-Ninjas site
- Version 4: (And hopefully final version) is here!
Enjoy!
There are some series of posts that go together. You can access them directly with the links below.
The Universe Hates me
I am on holiday this week. A full week away from the Insane Asylum, work, customers or as I like to call them “The Bane of My Life“. So far I’m still full of the festive cheer, festive beer, and festive treats. I have been working my way through...

Ghosts At The Insane Asylum

NetIM BotNet – Part 2
Update time, for NetIM BotNet – Part 1. I have now got the project running on version control (subversion), so that I can keep track of changes, revert to working versions in the case of irrevocable coding errors. and ease of installing on multiple...
A Sisyphean task
Now a lot of people think that governments, or legal types thrive in pointless red tape, and the rest of us mere mortals are driven insane with the pointlessness of their tasks. The truth is somewhat different, Busby* could teach these lovers of...
Violence has its place.
Today I was reminded why I make it a policy to be unarmed in the office. The extra time needed to find a suitable weapon gives my temper time to loose its edge. And on days like today every second gained helps keep people alive… Now I’ve been busy...
It’s not “What you Know” or “Who you Know” But “Who you ARE!”
King of the Lab! As those of you who have to deal with the world of emails know BT, Yahoo have recently upped their fight against Spam in a rather Draconian Manner. and SysAdmins around the world have learnt to dread the influx of the following in...
