Day in the life of a bored IT Admin

So, I got a new toy a few days ago and all I can say is that I’m very impressed. I bought an iPod Touch.

I bought this because... well... it’s shiny... come on, it’s a pda + movie player + mp3 player + personal organiser. I don’t regret buying it and I would recommend it to my friends without hesitation

i would however, like to know if there is anyone out there that knows of any 3rd party apps that you can run on this thing without having to jail break it. I mean actual applications, not the lame assed web apps that pose as application. Also, has anyone had any experience jail breaking their iPod Touch? How did it go? Can you restore it if it all goes tits up?

Looking forward to your responses.

Ok i have to share this with the world. If your about to go on a date or take a girl out for the first time heres a little tip... rent the movie "Stardust"!!! its a fairytale fantasy romantic drama which if your into that kinda thing will blow your mind... yes i just said blow your mind :-P

I’ve successfully managed to be at work and do absolutely nothing for 7 hours =D

Go me!

Oh my fu**ing god! What the hell is it with users and spam!

Ok, background. I'm the head of IT at a company in Denmark, i run 2 mail servers with around 300 users, 6 servers and 2 domains...

Now.. the rant!

Out of the 300 users that i serve with an email server i have around 30-35 of them that CONSTANTLY complain about spam. "I got 1 spam this week our spam filters not working right" WELL IF ITS NOT WORKING RIGHT LETS TURN IT OFF AN SEE HOW YOUR DAM MAILBOX LOOKS AFTER 5 MINUTES WITH NO SPAM FILTER! AUGH!!!.

numbers, 300 users, 300 email address's, 330 address's including aliases, around 6000 /smtp/ transactions per hour. Now, how many of those 6000 do you think are real emails... 1900!!!! Which leaves 4100 ‘mysterious’ transactions left. What are they I hear you ask? SPAM! Glorious wonderful SPAM! Now, divide 4100 by 320 and you get 12.xxx. that’s 12 spam per hour for every user on the server IF the spam filter is off... and this retard complains about 1 a week! And doesn’t he know spam adapts!

Gd dam Ihate users...

End of.

It’s been too long since I wrote a post on here so here I am to tell you all that I’m still alive...

It’s been a while since i got back from skiing and ever since I got back I’ve wanted to return to Norway and have some more fun! I’m totally hooked on skiing now and am planning to go next winter (with the same people plus another 20 in a huge group). I managed to make it down the wooded trail along with some red/black runs on my first week out there which was cool.

Along with that I’ve sorted things at work "w00t" everything’s finally fixed and working so I can concentrate on building the new website and improving my applications.

I think ill be writing another post today as I’m bored out of my mind at work due to the fact that no one is here! I’m the only one in the office at the moment and I’ve got a feeling its going to be this way for the rest of the day... shame I didn’t bring my external HDD with some games or something.

Anyway, more to come and comments are always welcome =P
