Aames – Nothing (Is Lost Forever)

The second little treat from our July 2010 time in the studio.

Who are Aames?

(aamesband.com) Named after a dysfunctional movie character, Aames is an indie-pop-rock band made up of two Scotsmen, an Englishman and a Welshman, (insert your own punchline…). They’re based in Glasgow and are fond of melody and loud guitars in equal measures. Influences include the Killers, Nick Cave and Two Door Cinema Club.

the coming of the wee malkies (by Stephen Mulrine)

‘Whit’ll ye dae when the wee Malkies come,
if they dreep doon affy the wash-hoose dyke,
an’ pit the hems oan the sterheid light,
an’ play keepie-up oan the clean close wa,
an blooter yir windea in wi the baw’ missis,
whit’ll ye dae?.

Whit’ll ye dae when the wee Malkies come,
If they chap yir door an choke yir drains,
An caw the feet fae yir sapsy weans,
An tummle thur wulkies through yir sheets,
An tim thur ahes oot in the street,
Missis, whit’ll ye dae?

Whit’ll ye dae when the wee Malkies come,
If they chuck thur screwtaps doon the pan,
An stick the heid oan the sanitry man,
When ye hear thum shauchlin doon yir loaby,
Chanting, “Wee Malkies! The gemme’s a bogey!”
Haw, missis, whit’ll ye dae?’

Implementing 802.1x – Lessons learnt

Implementing 802.1x for a multisite (100+) organisation. Using bonded authentication to verify both machine and user supplicants prior to network access being granted. Great for Windows systems, not so good for our OS X clients as they don’t do machine authentication.

I have recently started a new project in the day job. We have been asked to construct a test environment that will allow secure wireless access for company equipment to the internal network and at the same time allow guests to use their own wireless devices to connect to the Internet but be kept far away from the internal network. Once testing is complete the ‘model’ will then be applied to just under 100 sites with a potential user base of 45, 000 unique users.
