Speeding Oz teen may face 'gorillas in the mist'
"Specifically, Maloney explained that the perp would "shower with the gorillas in the mist down at Long Bay jail". He elaborated: "You'll find big, ugly, hairy strong men who've got faces only a mother could love that will pay a lot of attention to you - and your anatomy."" - by Me!

If you don't already use WPA-AES, turn it on. Use MAC address filtering. Enable NAT on your router. Enable its firewall and IDS features. Check their logs regularly. Double check port forwarding rules, secure them with IP ACLs if necessary. Setup usernames and (strong) passwords on your Windows system. Use TLS encryption for your emails and especially for authentication. Get good AV for your email. Apply tinfoil liberally. - by Me!

Vista Media Centre Update
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932818
It supposedly fixes a host of bugs - how about you release all those fixes regarding USB devices & sleep and slow file copies as well?

London Marathon 2007
Some pictures from today's marathon for you:
Update: I forgot to mention that I've tagged all the photos as much as possible, including with the runner's number (if I could see them) and obviousl running clubs. So, you can search for yourself with your number. I have higher res photos too, so if you find yourself and want a big pic, let me know.

Wedded bliss
So, it's just over two weeks since our wedding civil partnership. We spent the week before mostly cooking as we were doing all the catering ourselves. Everyone seems to have liked what we did (catering for 50 is tough!) so I guess we did something right :)
We had a few hicups - a last minute champagne substitution and a marquee that was distinctly not watertight (thankfully it didn't rain) but luckily the weather was great on the day.
We were both petrified beforehand but the ceremony went well at Southwark Registry Office and the "celibrant" was really good. Afterwards we had a pretty good party back at our house and although it was a little packed everyone enjoyed it.
So, some pictures :)

Stupid Vista DRM
I've been really sceptical about all the naysayers that claim that Vista's inbuilt DRM is somehow going to destroy the fabric of the universe. Or something.
But, when I come to try and watch a DVD on my new Vista Ultimate box in Media Center or Media Player I am greeted with the informative message that:
"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your Video card."
After quite a lot of digging it transpires that my LiteOn DVD drive (which is quite old) has RPC1 region free firmware, which is unacceptable to Vista. I have now had to take a retrograde step and enforce my DVD drive to obey regions just to get a legit DVD to play. Yes, obviously, I could use VLC or some other player but I don't really see the point in spending money on Vista Ultimate if I can't use all its features.
On top of this, my Casino Royale DVD subjected me to minutes of adverts and PIRACY IS WRONG messages that I couldn't skip. I just bought the DVD, why am I getting lectured at! Why would anyone want to do things "the right way" I don't know...
Bah.
