Apparently I'm running Microsoft Windows Version 6.1. Where did the other 0.9 go?

...and that's without the browser toolbars and other junk I had to delve deep to deselect from the install HPfail
On the downside I'm now installing 672MB of driver files. Nice work, HP.
My new printer has its own intranet site.
The printer I've just bought can generate Sudokus. The future is here.

Taken most of the day to get Bugzilla installed and running (actually

Network Solutions have allowed my business to slip away from them without any attempt to retain me. That's hosting and email for 6 domains. Someone's asleep at the wheel.
Maybe I should put together a whoshouldntyouvotefor site
I have been told who I should vote for by http://ping.fm/0TjuV No surprises, but I'm more bothered about the showstoppers in all the major parties' manifestos.

Looks like the Masters is going to be won by the Jacques Kallis of golf

I have asked my service provider to make the same pledges as Talk Talk (http://ping.fm/G1A2D). Please do the same.

From this web page we can see the lowest unscored total for a batsman in a test match is 229 (therefore no longer an unGoogleable cricket question) http://ping.fm/5VRjZ
