The award itself

Good stuff I reckon! Unexpected, but very very good :)

Who's stealing my bandwidth!? Aftermath - Part 2

It's looking good now! The 24 hours are up and here's the result:

Start remaining download quota: 13.8432Gb
End remaining download quota: 13.7260Gb

Download quota usage: 117.2Mb (approx)

Seems that a normal day of download quota usage, without downloading big files, racks up to somewhere between 100Mb and 150Mb. I didn't know about that previously but there you go.

Citipointe Creative Ministries Department Christmas Party

Well, tonight was the Citipointe Creative Ministries Department Christmas Party. It was Hollywood style so I dressed up as Jack Sparrow. Not completely or properly as I couldn't find a vest/coat, the right belts, boots or... well, anything. The only thing right I think was the hat :) Thanks Kylie!

I was also presented with an unexpected award! Creative Ministries Department Production Member of the Year 2007! It's great! If anyone out there who had a hand in picking me is out there, thanks very much!!! Also, thanks to everyone else on the team that I work alongside with. You guys rock! I don't know if any of you will see this, but just in case... :P

Who's stealing my bandwidth!? Aftermath - Part 1

Well, download quota usage seems to have slowed down now but just for an after test, I'll record the next 24 hours.

Start remaining download quota: 13.8432Gb

The last 24 hours were approximately 100Mb but that's only been estimated by glancing at it. The real results will be interesting.

Who's stealing my bandwidth!? Day 5 - PROBLEM SOLVED!

Hey look! DAY 5!!!

Well, sort of... I'm posting late but you know... Even if I don't...

Everything's back online now so here's the results for all THAT:

And... it's pretty much over. Looks like I've found the source. I installed a program called TVersity on Garfield a few weeks ago to try and stream video to my xbox 360. The program wanted to convert everything to some sort of different video format so I cancelled it, stopped the background service and just left it alone. In the last 2 days I've been getting notifications from Garfield saying it's out of disk space. I had no idea why so I downloaded TreeSize to tell me where all the space had gone. Turns out TVersity was still running and has been downloading podcasts and youtube videos even though I was pretty sure I'd killed it... I never subscribed to those things either! >:-(!!! Stupid thing... It's uninstalled now and I will not be putting it back on in a great hurry... if ever!
