Good morning.

It has stopped snowing now, but it was for most of the morning, picturesquely but not very hard. Got confirmation of having booked for the behavioural genetics day, despite only having put it into the post at 6pm yesterday (the next person to complain bitterly about the state of the infrastructure may well get an amused smile).

Here's a dime, kid. Get yourself a real computer.

Today's tasks involve persuading somebody's old W98 laptop to talk to one of the XP boxes to the extent of using a networked printer. This would be a real chore even if the thing moved faster than a badger which is both pregnant and constipated, which it doesn't. Changing a setting takes about five minutes, and then it demands a reboot, which takes about another ten. Admittedly the machine is overloaded with toolbars and background programs, but still. This is why I never wanted to be a sysad, frankly.

Hmm.
