What can you do?

Another great game of snooker last night. It was our '6-man knockout' game against Greenlands A team. I wouldn't be exaggerating to say 30 people turned up from their club!

Anyway, top of the third division - unbeaten with only a handful of lost frames - it was going to be tough. Tough wasn't the word though!

I'm not the best snooker player on the team and I did make a slight mistake which then meant that my opponent went on to get a break of 55! What can you do when that happens? I battled on and managed to score another 20 points bringing the score to 80-23.

The other games were pretty uneventful (again, all losses) except for Lee's game where the opponent, for some unknown reason, decided he was going to play EVERY shot with the rest. There must have been a reason but we couldn't figure it out!

XenApp 5's Web Interface

So I upgraded to Citrix XenApp 5 last week at work... painless as ever although it was a bit more awkward than usual since it was purely the additional components that had been upgraded.

Not much has changed... except for the XenApp Web Interface. For years this has had the same look... a bit plain and boring. So as I'm finishing off setting up Secure Gateway, I navigate to the site and up pops this shiny blue loading graphic!

The new interface is black and shiny, with shiny blue graphs and lots of Web 2.0 stuff such as drop-down menus and messages. A great improvement!

Only problem now is that I need to find some nicer icons for my applications... the current ones just aren't shiny enough!
