@RojoLoco speakers in a couch! Not seen that before. My Mum has lights and usb chargers in hers. I thought that was top notch, but speakers go one step further.

ms group policies!!

PC is in an OU with a single policy applied.
run gpupdate /force
look at system event log and it says policies from 3 gp's have been applied.

listening to mario lanza while looking at led strip lighting on a sunday morning.

Thanks guys, I'll check out AHK.

Hello.
I'm looking for a simple way to assign text to a key or key combo.

Primarily I want to assign an email address to a key/key combo.

I need to be able to use the key/combo to enter the email address into login fields within web browsers (Chrome and FF).

This is for Windows based devices.

Thanks.

i knew this would happen, asked to clean out the spare bedroom of all the IT crap I no longer need.

no don't need any mice, keyboards, other crap.

first day back in the room, now where's a mouse for that laptop?

updating school timetable software.

mentally planning how to install the 2 new 'puncture proof' wheels/tyres I got for the gardening trailer.

Working through a list of systems that need to be rebooted... I'm seeing some absolutely horrifying uptime numbers.

horrifying, or impressive?

coffee number 2 on a sunny saturday morning on the top floor of a motel in Kew, enjoying the view over the northern and north eastern suburbs.

35 / 100 degrees today.

trying to support a customer in Qatar and it turns out they can only buy 10/100 switches (at least they aren't hubs) in the country. This is making the US seem downright modern by comparison. I didn't know any country was left that was this far behind on tech.

that's very weird considering they just hosted the world cup. I'd have thought the country would be flooded with IT stuff considering how large that event is.

beautiful sunny saturday morning here.
no wind, still cool, expecting it to be in the 90s today.

2/1/23. Day one, back in the saddle again.

maybe i should say 2 Jan 2023, day one?

Played some Nancy Drew the other night.

You can't imagine how funny that sounds to a non gamer.
