Mobile / Outlook Hell. Also, stuff.

Garrrgh!!!11 I've finally found out what the problem is with my new mobile - it appears that Outlook copied all the numbers across, prefixed them with +44, but didn't remove the leading 0. So I've been trying to call and send messages to +4401234567890 instead of 01234567890 or +441234567890 - FECKITTY FECK FECK!!

I've discovered why it is that IIS hangs when I try to access a text file using the FileSystemObject, but the same code works fine on the webserver. Seems it's Norton AntiVirus blocking Script activity - turn it off, restart the machine and it works fine. It does leave me open to malicious scriptmail though, so I'm careful to re-enable it when I've finished.

My networking article progressed well last night, and I'm heading into the final - and biggest - section which is 'how to connect your LAN to the Internet'. Great stuff. I may get it finished tonight if I have time to, but I've still got to wait for the domain anyway, so there's no rush.
