[06:01] <gorilla> head_victim: could someone remind those who use digest mail feed, please change the subject line before sending the email. It difficult to figure out if it's of interest otherwise.
[06:29] <head_victim> gorilla: I've got to head out for a little bit but I'll send a gentle reminder about mailing list etiquette this evening when I return.
[06:29] <gorilla> kk. thanks.
[06:29] <gorilla> take care.
[06:31] <head_victim> http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists is somewhere I refer people to on other lists so might send that to the -au one 
[06:40] <sagaci> head_victim: ping
[08:29] <sagaci> head_victim, ping
[11:54] <head_victim> sagaci: pong
[12:29] <mrshr3d> gee golly whizz what a long day - started work before 7:30am and only just home now....bloody Windows....lol
[12:34] <gorilla> mrshr3d: I don't like replacing glass either.
[12:39] <head_victim> gorilla: Ha. Ha
[12:39] <mrshr3d> gorilla:  if only it was that easy...this is the Gates kind of Windows.
[12:40] <gorilla> head_victim: I'm glad that someone laughed... tough gig!
[12:40] <mrshr3d> 15 minutes to boot up  =  ridiculous!
[12:41] <gorilla> mrshr3d: 15 minutes?? Amazing that the user would allow it to get past five minutes. 10 and I'd be demanding a new machine.
[12:41] <mrshr3d> sitting at the "Starting Windows" splash screen for 3
[12:41] <gorilla> mrshr3d: excuse me and I'll get another cup of coffee.
[12:42] <mrshr3d> that's the kicker....it was a freshly imaged machine on Tuesday, and only started playing up today.
[12:44] <gorilla> malware?
[12:46] <mrshr3d> We've had a few cases of it recently, seemed to be our anti-virus software, but tried on this particular machine and no go.  I've seen malware before that causes the machine to run very slow, and the symptom is CPU usage at 100% but in this case it seems to exhibit normal behaviour.
[12:47] <gorilla> that would drive me up the wall also in figuring that one out.
[12:48] <mrshr3d> Took excerpts of Event Viewer logs for our System Infrastructure team to look at.  Failing that, I started another machine rebuilding before I left so I can swap-out on Monday if required.
[12:48] <gorilla> mrshr3d: good precaution to take. Don't send the weekend thinking about it.
[12:49] <mrshr3d> very frustrating yes, I see a lot of weird and bizarre issues in the work environment, mind you being a considerably more complex environment with various startup scripts and group policies etc etc there is more scope for things to screw up.
[12:49] <mrshr3d> hence why I have a job!  lol
[12:50] <gorilla> mrshr3d: yep.. the must important tool for a windows administrator: a car. :-P
[12:52] <mrshr3d> haha, working for a law firm in an office that is one tool I don't require 
[12:52] <gorilla> ahhh. that's one thing.
[14:09] <Zanthus> hmmm, haven't been in here in a while
[14:14] <gorilla> didn't stick around for long either.
