Yay! It's snowing :-)
Because I live in Torbay the snow won't settle because there is too much salt in this area but it is lovely to see it falling :)
I just took my dog out for a wee and he ran straight back in. He's only seen it once before and that was early 90's hehe

I've been sat in the shop today watching the World go by and isn't it strange how some things make you chuckle.
Take for example 50cc mopeds that have the words "Racing" in big white letters all down the front panel of the bike. It obviously came like that when it was bought but I wonder who they try to kid when you hear it screaming at 9,000rpm and then watch a push bike overtake it because the moped is already doing its top speed of 35mph hehehe.
Have you also ever wondered why the mad people (I call them zoomers) always seem to find you on the day you're working. But not only that if you were working for a company with ten thousand employees in the building somehow the zoomer always manages to avoid everyone else and targets just you?
I'm going on a mission to discover the truth behind mad peoples radar and how those of us (like me) can avoid their detection. If anyone has already solved the problem please let me know (I think going mad myself will probably help but if they all converge to discuss tactics it could be much worse!)
Can you tell I'm bored today? :)
As per usual there is no snow here, not even a snow flake. Since 1987 I've only seen snow twice and it was at least 5 years ago since I last saw it. A friend of mine got his web cam working last night just so I could see what snow looked like again :)
I was shattered this evening and fell asleep at 6pm then woke up again at 10pm so I've been busy updating web sites etc this evening. I don't think I've ever fallen asleep like that before, I must be getting old :)
I'm now pretty much at maximum work load for the next few weeks so hopefully web design enquiries will go quiet for a bit while I catch up on everything.
There is a pain-in-the-arse virus out at the moment called Novarg or My Doom. I had 100 infected emails in just 2 hours this afternoon which is the most I've ever had. Make sure your computer is up to date with its virus software!
Bill Gates claimed yesterday that Viruses and hackers make Windows more secure. Erm... actually if they wrote better software we wouldn't have these problems :)
I use 3 programmes regually and if all 3 ever made a linux version I would never use windows again.
