I spent a year using Outlook and have now come back to Notes7. So what happens? They Botched my username, I requested a name change and they complied, but it partially failed. Some Encrypted documents now blow the client up, I find I am not an owner of my mailbox after the name change. Wonderful. It took me a full half hour to work out what and where to put it back as the nice "Changes" in N6 and up block you from doing this if you are not already the mailbox ownwer. Just an indication of how far away I have stepped from the old Notes/Domino scene. Then I find they have attempt to lock the client down with profiles. Not in my lifetime! "Welcome back" is the whisper in the back of my mind as I fix the mailfile myself, unlock the client, add designer and administrator and deliver my own templates. Oh did I fail to mention that they have locked down my laptop with domain control and disk encryption so I can't unlock it and can't install anything like a ...

Sadly I'm not a betting man. I'm guessing that I would have got fairly good odds on the Arctic Ice Area dropping below 1M SQ KM this summer. Even if it is way below any analysts projections even today. Today I can't get odds for even that wild supposition. Way, Way too much melt going on. So what does that tell you? Things are much worse than they seem would be my take!

It’s been a really cold winter you know, colder than for a very, very long time. It means GW must be a hoax, look at all that extra ice out there in the Arctic! Look China, India, the Middle East and Turkey have all had incredibly cold winters with much snow. The Heartland institute tell us it’s because the AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming, or to make it longer, “Us who are warming this planet up”), stories are a plant to get more taxes out of us. It’s not warming up. Noooo, It’s getting colder. Can’t you tell it was a super cold winter. Somebody find me a sickbucket. Why, oh why, does the weather of the world have to correspond to the observations of the US. Yes it was a cold winter. Exactly that, One Cold Winter. So what was happening in the rest of the world whilst America, China and the Middle East were deluged in Snow and Ice? Well I suppose the Scandinavian countries would not be of interest? Nor far north ...

Last week has to be a fairly all time low. Better half takes me to the train station. We decide I’ll not go to work on Monday as it’s Easter Monady and I can do the meetings from home anyway. So we get the tickets for Wife and I (she was picking the Grandson up from the airport on the 31 st ), then come home. Day1: 4am up and back with the tickets. I have changed my ticket to 05:06 on Tuesday so it’ll be up early tomorrow. I complete some of the Ceiling work I’m doing with plasterboard and we have a fairly relaxing evening. Day2: Up at 3am, climb on the bike with the gear and head for the station. Get about half way, start to lay the bike down for the 3 rd wet roundabout and the front wheel goes flying off down the road taking me and the rest of the bike with it. Bastard, bastard, bastard. To add insult to injury the sodding bike won’t start. To cut a long story short, after discarding the totally destroyed bike suit and ...
