Leisure
There are many things that occupy my leisure time. Some are related to computers and some are not.
Liverpool FC
I am a Liverpool fan. Stop sniggering at the back! We’ve had some lean years in terms of trophies and quality football but things are about to change I reckon. 
This and more of my rantings on the glorious reds can be found here!
Championship Manager
Without a shadow of a doubt THE most addictive game ever. Spend time carefully working out a formation to suit your players, create the perfect training routine to coax the best performances from them, judiciously select your first starting eleven. Your team gets 11 shots at goal, 9 on target. The opposition gets 0 shots at goal, by some miracle 1 on target and they win 1-0 courtesy of a deflection off your inept bloody full-backs @R$e. Their Goalkeeper, a 16 year old rookie, gets a 10. All your guys get 6s and 7s, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Swearing the like of which you’ve never heard before!
This and more CM rants here.
LANfesting
LANfesting can be great fun, when it is done properly. After the inevitable, and terminably tedious, 2 hour precursor of copying files left right and centre, games can be quite good. It is of course better fun if you are on the winning team. Although there is always some headphone wearing anti-socialite to annoy me!
A group of us get together twice a month or so (though I have missed quite a few lately) to crash cars into each other while chasing bars of gold, snipe or be sniped or just inflict general mayham upon each other. With the obligatory random shouts of abuse of course. Glorious!
Network experience is vital for this as is anti-virus knowledge because there is always some muppet carying some infection to ruin perfectly healthy machines!
Ah yes, off goes the firewall, down goes the anti-virus and before you know it in comes all manner of trojan, worm or virus to roam free as it pleases!
Struggle in the door at 5am (if you’re lucky) crash & burn, awake bleary eyed at 11am, spend you’re Sunday hunting errant pieces of code.
Strangely worth it. 
A Joke
The Squirrels
There were three country churches in a small Texas town: The Presbyterian church, the Lutheran church and the Catholic church. Each church was overrun with pesky squirrels.
One day, the Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.
The Lutheran group got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creations. So, they humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.
It was only the Catholics who were able to come up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church.
Now they only see them for Christmas, Easter, Weddings and Funerals!
