Looking at 4 jobs... PC World, ATOC, Subway and KFC. I don't plan on eating much of the KFC because well... it's a little grim sometimes :) The plan is to do the PC World and ATOC jobs in Barnsley in about half an hour or so, head to the gym and swim again (I don't want to use the cardio stuff until I've been inducted, because I think I'll try to replicate what I used to do when I was a fit person... this would be bad), then do the other jobs in Pontefract in the afternoon.

Must call CCA and arrange for a refund on the credit card, speaking of the gym.

I've eventually gotten rid of all those goshdarned script kiddie attacks on port 22 (SSH daemon), by stopping it from running completely. It now runs solely on port 443 (secure http). Shouldn't be an issue. Almost every firewall I've seen about lets connections out on port 443 else secure web pages would break!

Anyhow, the consequence of this is that I no longer have my logs being filled up with crap from attacks. Hurrah. Someday I'm going to get Snort/some kind of IDS installed to sort this stuff out the proper way.

Got a 64MB USB pen thingie from PC World for a fiver from Currys after the job's expenses are paid, lunch paid for twice over (shame I couldn't do it on two days), 20 CDRs from PC World for about £2, and a train ticket to Mexborough. The only one of which I had to send back was the train ticket. Nice.

Spent an hour at the swimming pool, half an hour in the pool and the rest in the bubbly bits, steam room and sauna :) I'm such a wussie swimmer... My arms give me grief virtually straight away!
