Spamming yourself

Today was my Unix day which was good fun. While attempting to debug a system monitoring script, I managed to spam myself with 95 e-mails. Good fun.

Had a look at the car after work. It has definitely had replacement panels but the chassis to my eye looks fine. The suspension has been looked at by two people and the general consensus is that there is nothing obvious that would cause it to sag in that corner. So it looks like a new spring would be a good idea. Citroen sell them for £35 each but recommend that they are installed in pairs. This combined with about an hour's labour to install each spring means it'll be about £130 or so to sort it. Bah.

By far the best application for the iPhone/iPod touch is the Remote application. This connects to your desktop running iTunes and allows you to control it over wi-fi. It looks a lot like the iPod internal player but you can see all the music on the PC. This is a really handy little program and saves having to connect to the machine using RDP all the time (it's headless).
