Got one of these on the way from Client B. ready for starting on Monday.

I also just found out that they are a Lotus Notes operation. I know banks tend to run a lot of legacy stuff but I'd never have taken the gig if I'd known that

I miss Lotus Notes, it was and still Is the only IT qualification I achieved when IBM certified me

My client uses O365 but you need a token to access it from a device that isn't theirs and they don't give those to externals.

Good call on the power supply... I may have to lose mine when the time comes.

Same here, seems to connect via a VPN (although one that connects automatically so nothing to enter)

Could be worse; could have been a Linux desktop

Most clients now normally give me two or three laptops with different OS.

They could use virtual machines but that is like hardwork.

My calendar just popped up a reminder that I should set off for the CUK Christmas Do real soon now… must be left over from the 2016 event, as that was on the 9th

Walk briskly walked, green ring closed

The reason it was done in daylight this time was that firstly, I'd just set off a long-running task and figured I might as well get a breath of fresh air while it completed; and secondly, I wanted to vary my route to pop by the barber's and check that they were taking customers again, and there wouldn't be much point going there in the evening when they're closed. The long-running task finished successfully a minute or so after I got back; and they are indeed issuing haircuts once more, so I've got an appointment for four o'clock tomorrow afternoon

Might as well get it done before the city is plunged into lockdown yet again

I did a quick dash to the post box at lunch time. It is cold out!

Still dry though.

It's quite chilly in my office, despite tado thinking it's at the right temperature, so I've popped the blow heater on so mess with it a bit more.

I had ZTE pitching me an email system for an African OpCo.

"Do you use it in house?"
"No we use Lotus notes, it is integrated into a lot of our systems".

Integrated.....

(BTW, I am hiding from Vetran in here)

Indeed. Ah well, maybe Easter…
