Doesn't take much, does it?
Tonight I have been mostly playing with Bind. I have been fed up of not having two seperate zones, one for internal hosts and one for external hosts (I only have one public IP address and several internal ones set up - I needed some seperation for "testing" purposes). So I now have two instances of Bind running. One is on port 54, the other on 53. The neat thing is that connections come in on port 53 by default from the outside world. These are NATed in from outside the network to port 54, whilst my internal config is unaffected.
I have too much spare time, you say? I agree.
Been looking at stuff for the car at work throughout most of the day. Steve at work seems to know more mechanics and garages than I knew existed and he rang a couple asking for brake pad/disc prices. Best price was about £35 for the set, which I think is pretty good when fitting should essentially be free!
Also been investigating my "knocking", and it's been suggested that it may be the CV joint, not the drive shaft. This would make more sense to me, as I would expect a driveshaft problem would give continuous noise, whereas this only gives noise on sharp cornering - and CV joints come under stress on cornering. At least - that's my understanding! I was a little surprised to find on ebay a driveshaft for sale going quite cheap, but it's a passenger side one.
I've cancelled the garage appointment, unfortunately. I've got a number of jobs that I _need_ to do on Monday (some really quite high-value ones!) and you know what garages are like - you leave your car at 8am and they then leave it all day without touching it. Or that's how it feels. I'll get a lift in with Kev one morning next week, and leave it with them then.
Hmm, next door's dog has started barking. Shuddap! Normally it's really quiet. Maybe the git's being robbed? *peeks out window* Oh well, can't see anything!
It's too late to be writing in LiveJournal. My mind's mushy.
Oh, I gave in on my overtime protest. Decided that Sunday, with nothing else to do other than sleep, was a perfect money making opportunity (I need to pay for the car bits!). So have 2hrs in the morning and possibly 3-4 in the afternoon, depending how I feel. At double time, can't complain too much. It's all to do with how I'm feeling about work - I guess. Now I'm feeling a lot happier about it. Not exactly overjoyed, I should say - but happier.
