Today I am sad to hear that my favorite Fiction Author has passed away.
Robert G Barrett I read his book "You Wouldn't be dead for Quids" when visiting my Big Sister, We don't get along well, so while the parents visited I sat on the back veranda and read a book she had left there. And I couldn't put it down! It was a story about Aussies by an Aussie I could relate the Characters to people I actually know, Les Norton could have been any one of numerous real life friends. I don't read Fiction I find it boring and a waste of time and memory, would much rather fill my head with facts, But this day it was all I had and I really enjoyed it. So if you want to read a good Aussie Yarn give it a read. I am sure his other books would be just as much fun.
R.I.P. Robert G Barrett.

Microsoft's Email addressed to me!
Last night I received an Email marked "This message has been blocked for your safety." and
so naturally I unblocked it and had a look (Dare Devil that I am) only to find it had been redirected from Microsoft (The Official Microsoft IIS Site) to my Email address from someone (name withheld) who needed help with a microsoft product (SQL server 2008 express) the same problem I had with the same product 18 months ago.
Is this Microsoft's way of making me pay for their free products (the express range very good! very cheap!) I am not a qualified programmer just a hack that learned what little I know from using free products and getting free lessons from Microsoft!!!
And now they send me questions from other users of the same product looking for solutions to their problems!!!
Being as nice as I am I tried to answer the question! then after sending it thought that they might think that I was from Microsoft!! so I quickly sent a disclaimer!! wishing them luck because if microsoft is relying on me to answer their users problems what hope do they have!!!
