New year, New Theme

I’ve finally found a new Wordpress theme that I like – So out with the old fixed-width(ish) browns & greens, and in are the new dynamic-width whites & blacks of the Atahualpa Theme.

I’ve also replaced the default banner images of fruit & trees with some banners snipped from my photo collection.  They’ve turned out much better than I thought they would – Not bad for 5 mins work with Paint.NET :)

Some nice people over at Echoing The Sound have ripped the audio from the 400GB of HD concert video that Trent recently made available.  Here’s a local copy if anyone’s interested…

Google EPIC Fail

Looks like Google have cocked things up BIG TIME for a lot of people.  Every search result is tagged as “harmful” so you can’t click through to your destination…

Google EPIC Fail

Update: Looks like someone at Google noticed.  Everything’s back to normal for me now…

Backing up Windows Server 2008 & Exchange Server 2007 With Bacula

Over the past couple of days I’ve been battling away trying to get the Win32 Bacula agent to back up my Windows Server 2008 System State  and Exchange Server 2007 Information Store Databases.

Bacula currently doesn’t support VSS backups of a 64-Bit version of Windows Server 2008, so there’s a number of hoops you have to jump through to get even a semi-reliable System State & Exchange backup.  For an Exchange backup we use the NTBACKUP binaries from Windows Server 2003 64-bit and for the System State we use the Windows Server 2008 wbadmin tools.

For both jobs we’ll use a couple of “Client Run Before Job” commands to trigger client-side scripts to run the client-side backup jobs…

My Xbox is poorly

Argh!… We turned on the Xbox 360 earlier, and what happened?…

THIS:

rrod

So after approx 30 mins on hold to Xbox support, I finally get put through to a call centre where a helpful man takes down my details and registers a free repair.  Whilst looking at the serial number label I took note of the manufacture date…  3rd December 2005!  Today was my Xbox’s 3rd birthday!

*sniff* :’(

UPDATE 15th Dec: A brand new healthy Xbox landed on my doorstep this afternoon!

The School With Just 50 Pupils - Newspaper Clipping

As there’s a few scans of really old photos being uploaded to the St Bertelines School facebook group, I thought I’d ask my mum to try and dig out some old photos.  This weekend she dug out a newspaper clipping from back when the school first opened.

I’ve scanned the photo in and uploaded it to facebook, but as facebook tends to restrict the dimensions of uploaded images I’ve attached the full size image to this blog post for your viewing pleasure :)

Runcorn World - The School With Just 50 Pupils

This scan was taken from the Friday May 13th 1983 edition of the Runcorn World newspaper.

Enjoy! :D
