So, what have I been up to? Generally, not that much really. Work is still going well, I'm currently doing analysis on the world's top botnets (groups of infected computers used by criminal groups to send spam/viruses and other naughty things without the computer owners knowledge).

Ratchet didn't come home last night. Not that unusual. But there was no sign of him having been home when we got in from work today. I went out the back to see if there was any sign of him and I found him lying barely 6 feet from the catflap. He was cold, wet and stiff, with his eyes still open.

Ouch. Still, the Fireblade is now running lovely and smooth again, and is actually safe and legal. :) On the plus side, I got a free MOT! Apparently there was a mix-up due to a large backlog of bikes needing MOTs, the assistant saying "right, which ones need MOT-ing then?" and the mechanic gesturing at a collection of bikes and saying "that lot".
