I spent another day doing IT work when really I'm meant to be a DJ. Here's a lesson for life, don't let people know what you can do, because they'll expect you to do it. But seeing as they don't have any other IT support it gives me quite a lot of power. The network is now set up that I can VNC and not have to walk all the way upstairs to restart a program that crashes all the time.
And finally I'm starting to see why a lot of IT people are fat.

Linux Me Up Baby
Well, an update from the Nerd part of my brain. We had a knackered old computer at work which was left behind my chair, so every time I got up I hit it, and that started to annoy me. but you can't just throw things away that are company property, so I fixed it.
Hard drive was shot, so we did a mean old format and then installed a linux distribution. And then I juiced it up with some VNC bits.
I then plugged it into the network and put the machine under my desk at the back of some drawers. Now I can log onto it VNC-stylee, and control it from there.
here is totally no point in it. We didn't need it at work and I doubt I'll use it, but it's out of my way and now I can limewire while no one's watching.
Nerd update over.

Can't Help Blogging?
If you're a blogger you might know what I mean by this. The more you blog the more you just have to blog.
It's habit forming and the next thing you know you'll be sat in traffic and think, "Oooh, I must remember to put that thought on a blog".
Well, if you are spilling with blog-verbiage have a look at this link for a Paid Article Submission Program.
They give you some keywords and you write, and then you get paid. Now that's the kind of maths I can get on board with.

It's been a busy bank holiday. Not filled with lots of time off or anything, but more work than usual.
I did a gig in Hereford on Friday night, and it was my first 40-minute headline spot. To be honest, it was my first 40-min spot headline or otherwise.
It all went well and now I don't know what I was worried about.
You know how some people who work in accounts try and throw in a joke when they are doing an accounts presentation? Well, I was thinking, to make my 40 min set up to and hour, should I throw in a few profit and loss accounts? You know, something to spice it down a little?
