I upset a few people with my dislike of Bitlocker yesterday. It seems that two hours is peanuts compared to some similar software, I was quoted nine hours for less capability. So maybe it isn't such a time consuming exercise after all. It still seemed like a long time to me when I was doing it though.
We seem to have a small surge in the problems after deployment this week. Two laptops with no sound from the monitor turned out to be either a missing audio lead or a plug not fully pushed in. We have also got a Kingston lock that fell into it's component parts when the bag was opened. Cool! I have been forging ahead with the wiring in the bedroom this week and have now reached the point where power has to be switched off in order to finish the job. I'll do that on Saturday and hope that that's an end to it.
I've now spent a week with the new laptop and, whilst it's not as good as a desktop for most of my work, I have, reluctantly decided that it works well enough for me. i still don't like laptops but this one at least has a dual core i5 processor and seems pretty fast so it works for me at work.
I'm going through the usual pre Christmas frenzy of deciding whether to buy what for whom again. Some people are so easy to make happy and others so difficult. My daughter is an open book to me, I can spend very little and know I have bought the very item that will please her the most. My son is the opposite, I could spend a small fortune on him and, unless I buy him something he asked for, I will always be wrong. The rest of the family are all somewhere in between those two diverse points.
