Envisioned as a type of protocol to allow for a central management station, all devices would have a small agent on them that would listen for the requests from the manager. With…

day 3 over. time to go home – early for once – and have a soak. clean house. prepare for an invasion of sun people, tomorrow. cooking a barbecue for 20-odd people. wine! beer! yay! i seem to be surrounded by motorcyclists. this is no bad thing. for the first time in my life i…

i really must sit down and write some code so that everything other than the last month’s worth of entries gets filtered off to another filename…

…an adequate number of trees for one night, and had a nice if brief chat with Tony before the IRC network went down. Now: homewards, reams of paper and crimper tool in tow, for a late bath, grab a pussycat to snuggle, a cup of tea, and crash out. All I have to do is…
