Random Geeky Bytes

Let’s have just a good old-fashioned roundup, shall we?

  • When I put my Neuros on the charger last night, I expected it to actually charge the battery. Instead, I discovered this morning as I tried to turn it on at the bus stop, the battery had been discharged. Argh.
  • GeoURL is back. Finally. Note the return of the corresponding sidebar linky goodness.
  • Being one of the offices that’s cut off from the offices that haven’t been upgraded to the new VPN-based WAN sucks. A lot.
  • Spending three hours cleaning particularly virulent adware off of a company laptop (that, of course, had never once been in my possession until now) sucks quite a lot as well.
  • Backup Exec is really starting to annoy me. It refuses to actually behave in accordance with the settings I change, and it (ir)regularly gives a cryptic error when it tries to verify the backup. (If it would simply accept my “don’t try to verify the backup” setting change, I’d stop getting those errors, of course.)
  • There just aren’t enough hours in the day to do all of the things I’d like to. (This isn’t specifically a “geeky” statement, but still. Ugh.)

    That three hours to remove spyware bit – man, I can’t believe you messed with it for that long. If I can’t kill it inside 15 minutes, it’s a data recovery and nuke job.
