Well “Gandalf” has been retired and “Elrond” has been reincarnated as a Windows 2008 Server. Beleriand has moved on to be supplanted by Middle-Earth.
Gone is the 2K3 domain, to be replaced with a completely new 2K8 Forest/Domain(s) and Windows 7 clients. At the heart is an old Dell 2850, which admittedly is several years old, but will do the job I need it to do. All up about 10 hours for installation, creation of AD, configuring DNS, DHCP scopes, RAS, WSUS, Group Policy and configuration of various shares and printing resources.
Bit quicker than I gave myself credit for really. Still it’s up and running, with no real disruption. Interestingly my old UPS can’t handle the server for more than a couple of minutes, so another purchase looms I can see. As if to demonstrate this the power died for about 10 minutes immediately after I finished the final tasks today. Plop, server down in 2 minutes flat!
Seems I love my Micro$lut…

Night where the weird and weirder dreams abound…It’s like poppy land!

Well despite being up way too early, and hence wandering into work early the day wasn’t too shabby. I did manage to clear up a bit of a backlog from last week, and the rest of the week isn’t shaping up too bad. Might even be able to lay some plans for the weekend. Mostly as long as I get to see Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” again, I don’t really care if the week doesn’t go all according to plan.
The Week that yet was…

Here’s hoping this week is not as insane as last. Either way, the weekend’s been fantastic for the soul!

As no doubt some of you will realise, this has been my absolutely favourite weather. The last 24 hours has just been everything I should ask for in a day including sitting next to a demi-goddess: to ask for more is nothing short of ingratitude.
I’ve been home, no requirement to be anywhere particularly, not needing to do anything. It’s rained heavily most of the day, and I’ve read, played boardgames (in this instance War of the Ring), sat and walked outside in the rain.
This evening, all I’ve done is lie in bed on crisp and clean sheets listening to the rain, dozing off, waking to the rain, dozing off several times. Outside of someone lying beside me sharing some of these moments in time, it couldn’t be a better day. I’ve just meandered through my own personal Shangri-La.
The Cosmos is most generous with me today.
Waiting so long and yet…

Well after waiting until yesterday to be able to install it, and this morning to be able to play it, the jury is still out on Supreme Commander 2. I can’t say I instantly think it is better. I really can’t say yet, and that’s not necessarily a good thing but may not be bad either, too early to tell.

I think the whacky week at work is getting to me, I just took a post 9:30 pm run to McDonalds and then ate it! I feel disgusted in myself. Seriously people have been having all sorts of ridiculous problems at work, and none of the sensible and logical resolutions seem to be working. It’s like the whole place has gone crazy.

The Mind is a strange and wonderful thing. Some might say mine is a very strange but perhaps not so wonderful thing. Being the obsessive compulsive that I am, I realise that my mind can play tricks on me, particularly where my emotions are concerned. Just because I think or feel something doesn’t mean others do. Nor should they. What I might like another to feel for me doesn’t make it so, applying equally to positive and negative feelings. Still occasionally the Committee goes to town in the confines of my mind, and I wonder who’s in charge.
Such is the world. These days I deal with such much better than I did before. Still Reality is a difficult ball to handle, more like trying to hold onto a handful of lube actually.
But two things always makes me feel wonderful…
One is the Rain.
