Not leaving the house today. Alas, that doesn’t mean I don’t work, but there’ll probably be time for a snowman or two.
This is Cold Ash hill this morning – that’s a 1:10 hill, so there’s sod all chance of anyone getting up it unless they have a good 4WD car.
It’s still snowing.
I know, it’s a geeky, slightly sad and to some, boring thing. I don’t care
This took way too long. I’ve uploaded a scanned and OCRed version of a document that my Grandad, Jim Harpur, dictated to someone from the National Archives in Ireland back in 1950. Since I’ve done some of the Connolly side of the family, I thought it would be great to get some Harpur notes on here as well. I know I can’t find my paper copy of these notes, so my Ma was good enough to send them over again, as well as some other documents that I need to get scanned. Hopefully, the good folks at Google will index this mine of information for the future.

The magic key I need to remember:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Administrator Only\Security\UseVPUninstallPassword
Change to 0 (zero) and run the uninstall program again. Voila!
Another day, another letter from “Domain Renewal Group” sent to our house, warning that one of my domain names (my main work one) will expire on April 10th 2010. Apart from the fact that it’s a wee bit early to renew (I’d prefer to keep my cash in the bank as long as possible, TYVM), they charge an outrageous £20 for a single year. One & One charge me £8.99, so we’re looking at a 122% increase, yet they don’t host the web site or email, they just redirect these to ones I supply myself.
A pretty poor offer, yet their modus operandi seems to be:
There’s more information over here about their dodgy practices. People are even implying that they won’t provide the basic service they claim, but I can’t comment on that since I’ll never use their service.
