    I went running today for the first time since I twisted my ankle. What’s that, 6 weeks? Blimey. Sore, and limpy, but OK. A bit of running will probably do the ankle good.

    Hooha! I’ve got a wireless network running at home now, as I got a bunch of new toys today, and this is my first post from my now wireless iBook. Top! I can just open the laptop and do what I want to do. I had to be a bit sneaky though. I’ve added a…

    Flipping heck, I wrote this entry once but it didn’t get posted. Anyhoo: We got hit by three worms today, just in our office. This on top of spending the last week clearing the Klez worm AND Kuang, which had infected almost every .exe and .com file, knackering the machine. I ended up having to…
