  1. Surely Blizzard of MMOG fame are no strangers to change management at scale? Was really needing a Diablo 3 fix this evening as a distraction
  2. Surprised to see Diablo 3 hit by a thundering herd en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderin… style issue eurogamer.net/articles/2012-…
  3. @GlenPRobinson @grapesfrog do you mean lashed up he is like normal Gandalf or normally he is like a lashed up Gandalf?
  4. @grapesfrog going to miss a lot of things but am looking forward to the adventure. I feel like Bilbo stepping away from BagEnd.
  5. Move to Singapore in full swing: house, car, gym is up for sale: burnsandwebber.com/display/197841… autotrader.co.uk/classified/adv… ebay.co.uk/sch/neatlydoes…
  6. Dear esure you just charged £26 admin fee for a 2 min call to change my car registration details. Then tried to upsell. Insulting.
  7. I'm confessing. I am sure I have copied more than 9 lines of code before. But I am sure I commented them out.
  8. @grapesfrog recall of email will always remind me of Simon Brown's cheeky leaving email which caused a stir
  9. @theraromachine this may have changed in the new version of WHS
  10. @theraromachine and you can restore individual files from those backups anyway. you have to install WHS client software obviously
  11. @theraromachine so to answer your question I didn't backup individual files. Image based backup is excellent for whole machine recovery...
  12. @theraromachine My WHS HW was about 12 yrs old! Brilliant software from MSFT but when it went std RAID it competed with regular NAS devices
  13. @theraromachine I decommissioned my WHS in favour of a Synology device. I was using standard WHS backup which images the laptop.
  14. @NerdLabs why would they do that when no one is looking. making full use of resources is surely a good skill?
  15. #Windows8 charms don't work well in multi monitor mode. Fiddly trying to get mouse to top right corner without drifting on to next screen
  16. Several days with #Windows8. Don't have a tablet. Feeling no need to use Metro interface. Feels like I just did a big Windows Update.
  17. @grapesfrog installed Ubuntu the other day: app store, cloud file synchronisation etc. Same deal. Metro interface option + tablet + ARM?
  18. A whole day with #Windows8. Haven't had a "wow" moment yet. Maybe if my laptop was also a tablet I'd think different. via @Fliptoast
  19. Good to see even Calc gets an update in #Windows8 via @Fliptoast
  20. #Windows8 split brain: try to install Spotify using Metro browser and it fails. Try from regular browser and success. via @Fliptoast
