- We determined the source of the technical problems we are having on our servers. It seems that between Longhornblogs.com, PatchDayReview.com, and the rest of the Interscape websites, we were getting so much traffic, that our dinky little 10-Base-T network card was pegged pretty much all the time. |

Icons! (Dec 31 2003 12:00 GMT) - A sudden spurt of new icon creation - and I've actually added text to an icon for the first time ever, so I feel like I really can call it creation this time! In celebration, I've decided it's about time I updated the "about my userpics" page on my website, so you can get all the details from there but I just want to show you my two new cute ones... Jeremy drew this from when she was looking after Cassie last Christmas. One for any "big eyes" type posts I might need :) Don't work me so hard! |

- just before Christmas from a girl I went to junior school with. Had barely seen her since. Sent her a card back and got an email from her yesterday. Been pinging emails back and forth since then. It's amazing how much I can remember about junior school yet I can barely remember what I did last week. |

- ...sort of. so far i've been overwhelmed by an urgent need to find my missing green eye shadow, since new years eve simply wouldn't be right without it, to eat more crumpets than is advisable, and to watch crap tv with a look of ridiculous concentration and interest on my face. yesterday i came to the conclusion that i've had my fill of studying, i've reached my capacity, i've used up my motivation and i'm now just going through the motions. my year of postgraduate study is going to be put off for at least a year, perhaps forever. i'm fed up with studying, with being in debt, and dare i say it, i'm fed up with leeds. |

Upgrade (Dec 31 2003 12:00 GMT) - I've upgraded the copy of Movable Type installed here on kerouac to 2.65, which fixes an XML-RPC issue. Hopefully I haven't broken anything. For bonus points, the new version also introduced a template for an Atom feed (which is being touted as an uber-wonderful RSS replacement), so I've added that too. I don't know if it works because I don't have a client which understands atom feeds yet... |

- Surely Slugger's readers have plenty to say about the honours list... Happy for David Humphreys, but as Planet Rugby points out, the score is still 36-1 to England. Also pleased for Martin O'Neill (previously MBE) - but would the inevitable reactions of certain Celtic fans have caused concern? The other... |

- Via The Network Security Blog: Doug Knox's Windows XP Security Console Tool. To quote from Doug Knox: When you're outside of a domain environment, XP has some features missing. XP Home leaves you completely without the Group Policy Editor, while XP Pro lacks the ability to use the Group Policy Editor to selectively apply policies to specific users. |

- Bruce Schneier asks if we are sophisticated enough to recognize an Internet scam and categorises the recent attacks into three waves. To quote in part: The first wave of attacks against the Internet was physical: against the computers, wires and electronics. The Internet defended itself through distributed protocols, which reduced the dependency on any one computer, and through redundancy. |
