Joy unbounded

Our new Cisco VPN client is a parallel-tunneling sort of creature.  This means that while I am securely and be-dongledly plumbed into the NHS N3 network, RDP'd onto a bridgehead machine and then RDP'd onto a couple more after that, I'm also able to use regular internet.  Compared to the last VPN client we had, which hijacked the whole line, this is joy unbounded, for it means that I can carry on with my daily surf while searching entire umpty-terabyte SANs for the furtive logs of sulky patient booking systems, while waiting for their support agents to phone.  Why we picked a product with support agents in New Zealand (GMT+12! woot!) is beyond me, but at least I can get my pr0n empowering and improving web literature now.

Celeb spotting - J-Lo does a triathlon

You know, this confirms a couple of things: first, that nobody looks good in a tri wetsuit (or rather that they are, like Death, great levellers: everyone looks kinda grey and sea-mammally).  Second, that all the women I know go at these things with more gumption (you rock!).  And what sort of race has a celebrity area?  Yoish.  Still, props to her for getting up and at 'em so soon after sprogging.  flitljm will you be next?  ;)

Oh lordy, I posted a celeb post.  Somebody kill me and salt the earth on which I die.
