    OK, that's done. They've "been getting some other people to send the letters out" and it seems they've made a mistake

    Anyway, it turns out that vague promises along the lines of "we'll see if we can sort it out" suddenly turn into detailed plans to sort it out combined with profuse apologies when you start quoting DPA 2018 section 46 subsection 1 and section 48 subsections 1 and 9

      Put everything in writing and send it to their Data Protection Officer.
      See above

      I'll be double-checking once they tell me it's sorted; if they don't get back in touch then the DPO is my next port of call. Either that or my friend who's a reporter on the local paper

        Was it the letters about the heart condition that cannot be contracted by apes?

          No, it was the letter saying I'm so morbidly obese that my penis has vanished inside my body and I am unable to urinate hygienically

            Glad we've cleared that up.

            The ongoing clearpass upcock is definitely ongoing.

            And it's affecting the Esteemed Paying Customers, so this will never do.

            The staff don't matter but the university rankings in the Esteemed Customer Survey do.

            Then again, the CHCFC is a top ranker and no mistake.

            Just read some inscrutable email about logins and domains and virtual machines and virtual desktops and remote desktop clients.

            It's all incomprehensible to me.

              And now the sun has risen just opened the blinds to quite a blue sky..

              which is nice.
              It felt colder than that when I set off at 04:30 this morning!

                I've been looking the B*****t forum.

                Stone me, I must be really really really bored.

                Now.

                  You must be! Having spent ages updating my website to https, modding sitemap and robots.txt, I am off to watch the recorded BBC news. After I've fast forwarded through B*****t and all the other dull stuff, watching the news usually takes me about 3 minutes.

                    Debating whether to download the complete database dump of Wikipedia to speed up some data scraping I want to do. Apparently it's around 60GB when uncompressed… not too bad
