Trying to understand why anyone would go to Oz, considering even the trees are out to get you.

Mainly because of this

[eek]

Mainly because of this

I think that is available elsewhere in equally nice places such as Italy...

Nest is now installed, finally!

I'm hungry.

Turned up

Am going old school and pan roasting it.

Hope it tastes alright.

Generic system info stuff, or application specific?

These kinda scripts must be 10 a penny, I have a few that I have knocked up (for the SysInfo stuff) but that might be a bit basic for you, it uses PS tools

Some standard VMware stuff happens to create a VM, involving getting the IP address from an IPAM database, among other things, then a Host record is created in another DNS management system using its REST(ish) API, then various aspects of all that are combined with assorted bits of ClientCorp-specific stuff and used via another (barely RESTful at all) API to create a record in a change management system, or something. So lots of proprietary stuff and ClientCorp-specific processes mixed in with a load of bog standard bits, and my stuff is the thread that pulls it all together.

Well, that's the theory

Home via the car's last fill-up before we knock off for Christmas

I went into Sainsbury's out of habit, as I was there anyway. Grabbed a basket and wandered up and down a couple of aisles before realising that, due to doing a big shop at the weekend, I didn't actually need anything

So I bought some discounted ale and Digestive biscuits and came home

[eek]

Called into Morrisons and spent a fortune on Amazon vouchers.

Then bought a new telly with said vouchers and gave Mrs Eek the very large petrol discount voucher..

MyCo has ordered me a laptop backpack. I will pass it to mr ms to wrap up and stick a label with my name on for Christmas. I'm getting him a watch he wants, which is a bit annoying as I had thought I might buy him a nice watch for our silver anniversary next year. Might have to get him an Audi A4 as he wants and needs a new car, so if I buy him one, he'll feel really, really, really guilty about forgetting (which he is bound to do, as his mother is no longer around to remind him)

Today's accident was in central Nottingham, on the way home. I think it involved a motorcyclist, as there was a bike on the pavement right by the back door of the ambulance, also on the pavement, and it must have been put there after the patient had been taken inside, presumably by the copper who was poking his head through the back door.

I thought I saw a lot of accidents when I commuted daily along the M1 to Northampton for a year, but that's got nothing on the A roads between here and Nottingham. I think I see an average of two or three a week
