I got up, had a shower, got dressed, ate breakfast, checked my spam, left about 8am.

I didn't put my mp3s on this morning, because my ear is all sore from having the stupid earbud jammed in it.

I hate earbuds. I should buy a helmet with speakers in it.

I went down the freeway, got off, went to the college, I got there about 9am.

I fixed their email, it was coming up and asking for a password when they tried to send email. It took me a couple of minutes of fiddling in the settings, and I found that it had "use username and password" set in the smtp options. That must have come from the lookout settings when I imported them, although I didn't notice it on the other machines when I set them up originally.

At least now thunderbird is remembering the password.

I fixed the second pc, same story, fixed it by turning off the smtp username/password option.

When I fixed the third pc, I noticed it had the option set too, but I know it wasn't on, and this machine wasn't configured by having the settings inported from lookout, because I rebuilt the whole pc.

The email addresses had been changed on the three pcs too, apparently the guy who owns the place had changed the settings, because he's going to get separate email addresses for each pc, he may have inadvertantly set that option.

The reception chick asked me to explain how to run a virus scan, and I showed her, but I told her there is no point, because the virus scanner has a resident shield to stop anything being run that's infected (and with their semi permanent internet connection, they keep them selves updated).

I was there for about 15 minutes, I forgot to ask if my pen that I lost there had turned up.

I got back on my bike, and headed down to DMR, it took me about 1/2 hour to get there.

I went in, worked all day, and was there until about 6.30pm, when I gave up and left, because the database I was trying to extract all the records from a single field from had some sort of limitation, and would just hang, without returning the results to the query.

I came home, went to the supermarket on the way home, got some frozen thing for dinner, came home, cooked it, ate it, and worked on a script to more smartly get all the records out of the database, rather than expecting it to return them all at once.

I went to bed about 11.30pm.
