Back at work

Heh - Tuesday night and no changes to do :) - always a good thing.

Things of interest in the last few days:

  • Trying to get Windows2000 domain controllers up through a firewall (even a swiss-cheese firewall like the one I was trying to get through) is not a lot of fun. Win2k is not a very quick beast at replicating in unusual situations and doesn’t really tell you very much (and a lot of what it tells you is misleading.
  • Why did it take 4 hours to replicate a secondary DNS zone? When its companion DNS server took under a minute to reload the zone? Very strange. I mean to look at that some more tomorrow but I am just glad it works.
  • I must have done something wrong when I upgraded to MT 2.64 because I didn’t get the new RSS 2.0 template and the old 0.91 template wasn’t removed. I’ve fixed that now.

I need to keep thinking about how to manage bookmarks - just using bookmarks.yahoo.com at the moment which is just about bearable.

And Service Pack4 is out for Windows 2000 - I have upgraded the work laptop and will upgrade the server when I reboot the machine tomorrow (also installing a DVD-burner I acquired).

Finishing reading Harry Potter over the weekend - it was a lot of fun. The next two books should be something to look forward to. Unfortunately I now have to look for something else to read :(
