Another interesting day learning about MATLAB and it's foibles. We had disappearing cluster jobs, turns out ML moves them to the C drive when they've finished running. Then I messed with the setup and it just vanished them in to thin air 😁 which I then fixed, quickly 🙈 – at Ashley, England

Trying to pay my corporation tax using the HSBC app and it's thrown anti fraud questions at me, which I have to answer and none of them apply. Am I buying crypto? Is it an unexpected bill? Am I paying a supplier or an employee? No, it's HMRC. 🙈

90 minutes to travel 2.1miles on the M6 this morning. J20 closed and everyone was getting off at J19. – at Cheadle, England

What happened to cubictime.ru/ It's not working atm. It was my go-to webgl screen clock for years. 😔 – at Anstey, England

Enjoying watching the Birkett six hour relay race on YouTube. Some really great racing in the appalling conditions. – at Anstey, England

It's a pavement not a road to drive your Range Rover along!

And why wouldn't your workstations have the same IP address allocated to them via DHCP, that's registered on DNS. No wonder reverse lookups never work. Purge the DNS records over 48hrs and flush all the caches. "It's VMware". It doesn't matter. DNS is critical to AD 🙈 – at Ashley, England

My very first 'oops I've deleted several hundred gigabytes of training data' call from a user today. Yep, you 100% deleted them. No it's not backed up. Better spin the jobs back up again and recreate the files again. And be more careful next time. 🙈

I can do better than that. Two more trips to the farm and she'll look like she's been rallying – at Stockport, England

Morning – at Cheadle, England

It sounds odd the RAF Fairford suspects are all living in Westminster, until you realise that's where all the diplomats live. Never mind their immunity. Kick the arseholes out. – at Ashley, England

All Dell Isilon Filers should be towed out in to the North Atlantic and sank. Useless junk than runs POSIX and won't integrate with Idam. Absolute trash. Another day wasted trying to persuade it to honour GID's, when, oh no, it has better ideas. – at Ashley, England

New wiper blades day. Small things 😊 – at Cheadle, England

I've been reminded how much of a cringe fest last year's awards were, complete with a birthday cake! I'll not be going this year. Plus the trophy for 9th is probably a recycled piston on a bit of wood. – at Anstey, England

Still not over this flu/COVID thing. I'll console myself watching the Bongo Masters from Croatia. Go Team Legacy 💪 – at Groby, England

I damaged the tip of the fwep at Anglesey when I touched the wall turning around in the assembly area. Do I just trim it? Cut the corner off at 45° Will it make any difference to their function? – at Groby, England
