Processes without a username in Task Manager

I wasn’t sure if I’d broken something today when on opening Task Manager just after Windows booted all processes were missing a username. I still don’t know how I managed it but all seems ok again now, I guess I just opened it too early…

The World's largest waterfall

Ok so perhaps that is a slight overstatement. As with the lady boy show and elephant trekking, I’ve always felt that swimming in the plunge pool below a huge cascading waterfall is something that you’ve just got to do so when the offer of a trip to the

Birthday Celebrations
