I am doing a recovery of the web site after my server crashed over the last weekend.  Its probably as simple as powering it back up again, but its proving to be a trial as I no longer have access to the machine and rely on someone from my old job to go in there and turn it on. Once I have access to the site again, I will take photos/files off - or just start things over again. All email and

Ten of us headed out to Deep Creek Conservation Park and camped out at the Cobbler Hill campgrounds over the long weekend. I headed up with Mike in the trusty yellow GGG truck.It was very busy, and arriving on the Friday at 2PM, Mike and myself grabbed what was basically one of the last spots in the entire park with a firepit. For that matter, it was one of the last sites in the whole place

I have a client with a NetApp StoreVault S550 system. After a series of issues with SnapManager for Exchange not working with the latest .Net service packs, we were able to have reliable ongoing snapshots for Exchange.However, just this week, I started to get the following notifications that an error was occuring:From SME:Backup SG [First Storage Group] Error: VSS API Error Description:

Well it has come and gone... The 3rd Annual Inter Club Dyno Day - presented by the SA chapter of the PGA.It was another outstanding success. Dan as usual delivered a superb effort of organizational skills, and Mikey on the BBQ worked tirelessly all day. Plenty of other chipped in too, like Cam and Paul, and catching up with a stack of friendly people made it a top day.Pics can be found at

The Chiko Roll or CHIKO Roll is an Australian savoury snack developed by Francis McEncroe, a boilermaker from Bendigo, and first appeared at the Wagga Wagga Show in 1951. It was inspired by the Chinese egg roll and spring rolls and was designed to be able to be eaten with one hand whilst drinking a beer with the other. The Chiko roll consists of boned mutton, celery, cabbage, barley, rice, carrot

We headed up yesterday to Blanchetown with Mike and his folks for a day of river activity. No jetskis this time around altho Mike scabbed a run on a Seadoo from the guys next to us on the bank.It got pretty hot real early and the girls looked like they needed to be cooled down. As a responsible parent, I had no choice but to step in.Sure'N and I had a quick blast. I think Sure'N was trying to

Spent the before Christmas at Edithburgh. Rachel and Greg, plus a few friends. The girls had a ball with them running riot throughout the entire caravan park like a mini pack of bicycle fiends.On the Wednesday, Adrian, Anthony, Greg and myself spent the day on a fishing charter. We bagged out early on Nanaguy, but the rest of the day was pretty slow. To make matters worse, there was only West

9:37 this morning (28/8/08) we were blessed with the safe delivery by c-section with our third wonderful daughter. We named her Cierra Kate Wynne (pronounced the same as "Sierra"). A very healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces, she has had her first feed and I've already changed my first nappy.Here are some quick photos:

Finally got sick of IE7 displaying "This webpage cannot be displayed" error when opening a webpage. Usually pressing F5 several times would be enough but tonight it just kept on going on and on and on until I cracked!Fix is simple:Open Tools/Options and click on the Advanced tab.

Well in answer to the eternal question of who would win with a Redback Spider vs Praying Mantis bout: I came in to work this morning to find the Praying Mantis all trussed up and shrivelled up. Go you Redback!

The webcam is back on and is looking at the Redback Spider vs Praying Mantis going on in my adhoc spider aquarium.There is a little spider of unknown type scurrying about as well, mostly to feed the mantis if he wants it.

Yeah so while we ended up sucking at one day cricket during the finals, it was a fine one day/night match in Adelaide. I just grabbed some photos from the phone:Brian (aka Elvis) looked completely parched, so I recommended some ingestion of Coopers Pale immediately.This perked up Elvis immediately.The scoreboard showing a score that would ultimately reflect Australia's domination for the

I have a TV tuner in the new laptop so its been very useful to be able to tune in when I can get reception.Got one pearler today when watching the Cricket Show on the break for the today test between Australia and India. It was a youtube video clip for "Bazza" who takes a screamer in a wide first slip position. So I headed to youtube to have a look and sure enough, millions of hits since

Well what a depressing day for us Power fans...Geelong ripped the throats out of an ineffectual Port team who looked like that they wanted to be on a plane home by half time.The only consolation being that as far as Victorian teams go, its the one closest to SA, so you can't hate them as much :)And Bec got to have her team win for once...
