A highly accurate (amusing) look at what’s what in the nautical world. It seems like a very apt entry for this website. It was cut from one of ‘those’ emails that goes around! If you are the author and I think it should not be here, I can only apologise and will of course take it off immediately… however at the same time, I would like to say that you must be a sailor to understand these things… good job!
After finishing my course on managing and maintaining a Windows Server 2003 enviroment last week, I have decided it will be very useful to get myself a spare PC to use as a test server. I had some old bits and pieces around but in the end ordered a barebones system with a 2800 Sempron 64, 1GB RAM, 2 x Maxtor 160GB SATA harddrives with 8 MB cache. That should run quite nicely then! I have also ordered a new router as I have been so close to drop kicking my old Linksys router over the past week. Next challenge - find an area for the server in my room but I have a cunning plan for that..!!
Today was the first of the Autumn series races and with the sun shining nicely it was looking to be a good day. We where a bit short of due to other commitments so it was just Dave, Aidy and myself out for the race. The winds where light causing a course shortening for our class but it did help us as we had a relative shortage of foredeck experience onboard. We managed to finish fourth of seven - a good allround result given the situation. Hopefully the weather will hold out for the duration of the series and wecan improve on that result.
