#500 Firewall Error ##

Occasionally I have received the following error when trying to send emails to other organisation from Exchange 2007:

Diagnostic information for administrators:
Generating server: exchange-server.internal.domain.com
enduser@externaldomain.com
external.mail.server.domain.com #500 Firewall Error ##

It turns out that this is actually due to the Cisco router inspecting SMTP traffic. Entering the command below into IOS fixed the issue:

no ip inspect name SDM_LOW esmtp

Technical Skills Datasheet

I am finding it increasingly hard to illustrate my technical skills on my CV due to the large amount of software I have had exposure to – and I don’t mean just sat next to. So I have created my own technical skills datasheet to accompany my CV a copy of which can be found here.

Evidently, you'll notice that my technical prowess do not extend to creation of well formatted PDF files, as upon resizing or come to print the document the font sizing, spacing, and subsequent readability goes haywire. I blame Adobe.

Catastrophic Failure

Andy Aitken, a guy I work with, evidently abused his copy of Visual Studio 2008 to breaking point and got this message in return. Hats off.

Andy Aitken's Exception

UPDATE: It turns out that a week later I too rose to the dizzy heights of Aitken's abuse:
