I was pretty much passed out on the bed after my trip into town wiped me out, but I could hear the storm all afternoon.  
Not a drop of rain here, but this is Kobylany, the next village up the vally

The extinction rebellion founder Robert Hallem got given 5 years

I suspect using the court as a protest arena wasn’t helpful in mollifying the judge when it came to sentencing

Yep - it is causing us some problems with some cloud based software - not too devastating but enough to piss us off

The Boss is sorry…

## Crowdstrike’s stock price is plummeting amid the global outage

Blake Montgomery

The American cybersecurity company **Crowdstrike** saw it share value fall precipitously after disclosing that its software update was the source of the debilitating global outage.

At midday, CRWD had dropped by 12%. The company’s update interacted negatively with computers running [Microsoft](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/microsoft) Windows.

In an interview with CNBC, Crowdstrike’s CEO said the timeline for fixing the issues “could be hours, could be a bit longer” and said many customers would need to manually reboot their machines.

Microsoft issued guidance saying that some customers had seen success by rebooting their PCs as many as 15 times.

Half of my firm did a crowd strike software update this week. All woke up to the blue screen of death. They have to go into the office to get a fix. Spent an inordinate amount of time approving holidays as people refused to travel into the office at short notice on such a lovely day & half the management team were affected as well. So they can do one with their apology 😡 😂

I’m sure if I was marooned at Stansted with screaming kids & thousands of others watching thousands of pounds worth of summer holiday dreams go up in smoke I’d be looking for a lawyer not an apology as he has now admitted liability

I think the majority have only been delayed.

Mrs C\_S has gone up to Madchester by train to see her mother this weekend and was only delayed by half hour - still she’ll be getting in a delay/repay claim.
