Are you referring to "How to kill a mocking-bird" ?

Hi All,
Tried to run a 'soak test' on my PC talking to some piece of hardware. As this would be affected by use of the PC during the day I left over night. First set it going Friday come in yesterday got to Saturday morning and Orfice 365 'updated' again... something went wrong system was locked! 
It would unlock, so that test was useless. Tried it again last night (rather 48 get 8 hours!) it appears the update thing ran again and clunk locked PC again... Have to try again tonight hopefully I can find a way of making sure there are no updates...

I did try most of that last night, I'll have to have more of in depth look, I think from playing with it Orfice 365 are beyond my control. So a simple task require talking to our overlords...(mutter, mutter)

Or disconnect from the network ... unplug the LAN, turn off WiFi.

Soak test? Isn't that just the technical term for spilling a drink on your keyboard?

No, that's just "checking your IP": IP Explained[^]

Well the IP to the widget I am testing, for keyboard soak tests I recommend a Dell Keyboard from a few years ago (nice to type on and relatively water proof)...

might want to add some SOAP too,
they say peoples keyboards got more germs than their toilets, particularly heavy users. (PC for fat dev's?).
today's wisdom for the busy large IT person (and cat owners):
clean your keyboard, and save time by not cleaning toilet.
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Look at the last post in the thread you started yesetrday asking him for his CCC. He posted it there for some reason and not in a new thread.
