I'm working from home today and have the TV on in the background.

First up Dr. Phil had a show about sugar daddies and urban cougars. It was funny watching the female-mojority audience boo the 40 year old guy who had the 18 year old slut, yet cheer the 39 year old bag with a 24 year old dude.

After Dr. Phil was Oprah, and the first part of her show she interviewd a woman talking about her recent diagnosis with breast cancer. This guest was going to use the power of The Secret to heal herself and it was so funny watching Oprah back flip on how The Secret is meant to work, and disavowing the irresponsible attitude of "if I believe it then it'll happen."

What's scary is that in the film the example of someone healing themselves is used, so it's clearly misleading people.

I guess Oprah doesn't want the law suits.

According to another automated email I should be receiving my (fixed) Xbox within 2-5 working days.

At 8:50PM last night I received an automated email indicating that my Xbox had arrived safely at the repair centre after spending 5 days in transit. I'm interested to see how long it takes to fix.

I've spent the last 6 months or more looking for my headset and last week I resigned myself to the fact that I'd need to buy another one. I even called our old office to see if I'd left it there or if it had fallen down beside my old desk.

This morning, while looking for my now-lost wallet, I found it under the driver's seat of my car. So happy!

Update: 6:53PM
I found my wallet sitting in the washing basket. All is well again (apart from me and my head-cold).

A few weeks back we upgraded the server operating system on soundwave, our backup server dedicated solely to Harmony Backup.

As you can see from the Cacti graph the CPU usage has significantly been reduced. The workload was also reduced with some modifications I made to Harmony Backup's code but they won't account for this much of a drop. I expect that the RAID card's driver are where we've gained the improvements with this new kernel.
