Oh, God. Boris needs my help again!

That moment a CC: email drops in your inbox part of which says "Peter Cannon will quote you the two laser cutting machine PC's...;" literally just as you hit Send with the quote. 🏁 🏆

If only I had a podcast?
This is an interesting story https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/20/valuelicensing_microsoft_court/
I'm sure something is missing from this report though? While ValueLicensing is missing out on potentially buying old licences to resell, I would have thought it was more beneficial for customers to surrender those licenses in return for a discount on M365? Indeed, eventually, ValueLicensing will run out of licenses to sell anyway? Maybe that's why they're suing?

If only Mandrake Linux could be resurrected. Personally, I think they lost their way when it morphed into Mandriva.

I have eaten four, yes 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 Eccles cakes! That should translate into three stone by tomorrow. :-O

I started watching: Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix. The moment I saw the cliche scene of The Libertines, I let out a sigh. "I just know how this is going to end."

So my QNAP TS-251B is fixed. Not quite sure how tbh. I read a write-up that walked you through a reset but advised that it would wipe the drives. Luckily, I could still access the NAS from the cloud so downloaded all the important stuff. anyway, I bit the bullet and pressed reset and the voice said "Advanced Reset started" after a reboot, the NAS was back and so was my content \o/
Had to re-implement my personal configuration such as fixed IP etc but well chuffed it didn't wipe the drives.

Good news! That's a great example why I have at least 2 backups.

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting another NAS to backup the TS-251B. I'd like the TS-364, but that's a bit overkill for home usage.

If only Brighton beach wasn't so bloody cold this time of year.

Thought I would abuse my body at lunchtime and visited Morrisons for a Meal Deal "Sausage and chips please." I asked. Four sausages, FOUR! No wonder people are fat.

Morning you two. I'm clearly Billy-no-Mates this morning. :-D

I've killed my @QNAP TS-251B I clicked on virtual machines and it said it was configuring network and "Shazam!" it is no longer on the network and I have no way of getting into it. 😭

Don't you dare @govuk waste public money on an inquiry into Rishi Sunak and his wife. I guarantee they won't have done anything illegal which is why he wants an inquiry. What they have done is morally wrong which it could be argued is far worse given how everyone is feeling the pinch at the moment.

Never mind all these schemes for loft and cavity wall installation most of which are a scam anyway. The government should pay for every house in the UK to have solar panels fitted and make it law that new builds must have solar panel roofs. They never will because the energy industry will resist it as it will eat into their profits.

So all these Russian troops that have been lied to and are supposedly unaware they are in a war with Ukraine, running away at the first sign of danger. The same forces are also behaving like demented invaders and committing atrocities? Something smells if you ask me. Anyone remember WMD? 🤔

Took Charlie to the park this morning. Fairly cold, -1C but enjoyed meeting the fellow dog walkers until we were nearly on our way out of the park and a woman I've not seen for a while said: "Have you retired now?"

Do I look that old?
