Spy Journal 3.0 Filtering the web for you

Our main web server failed on Christmas Eve. I sent an emergency SMS to the techs and they started work right away. It took 30 hours to fix! A raid controller card failed on the server and once it was replaced the entire raid array had to be rebuilt.

This site only came backup about 5 minutes ago. 

Thanks goodness the techs were available to work on Christmas day - I am, so thankful to them for that! 

This is hilarious - Darth Vader goes to the deathstar canteen for lunch, done with lego.

Unfortunately not suitable for kids, a couple of swear words, but in context.

I laughed out loud!

We went for a tour of the Christmas Lights near our place the other day, check out my photos on Flickr. I think these guys are insane, but at least they create something for us to enjoy and the kids love it - cheap entertainment!

While you are in the mood check out these amazing lights - 110,000 feet of electrical cable and over 40,000 lights.

I have just been asked by Gordon from Real Live Preacher to handle all the technical maintenance and management of his website. Seeing as his site is getting over 3000 unique hits a day that's a responsible job! I have been talking this possibility over with him for several weeks now and am very pleased he has come to us. We plan to do an excellent job - of course. Hi Gordon :)

rlp will announce the news officially on his site tomorrow, though he gave a teaser today.

The funniest thing was that within hours of his emailing me (while I was asleep) the site broke, so my first email of the day was his acceptance and 2 emails up was his cry for help! With the help of my techie Rohan, we solved that one quick smart and are now planning the major job of upgrading his site to the most recent version of drupal.
