MediaMonkey

When I had hard drive problems recently and had to restore all my music library from a backup, I only had backups of the actual tracks and not all the associated itunes stuff. This means I lost most of my album artwork and things! Annoyingly itunes w...

PHREADZ podcast

Well sort of. Some of the content from Kosso's phreadz.com is also available in MP4 format, which is kind of handy for ipod video. So I'm hoping this feed will populate my ipod with the fascinating conversations these guys are having. Only some of th...

Vegan lasagne

Who'd have thought you could make vegan lasagne? Went for a dinner party last night, very sophisticated, round at Dom and Jen's. Dom and Dean made lasagne for the main course for everybody, with a vegan friendly roast vegetable lasagne for me, and it...

Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yoinks, yesterday someone chucked themselves off the roof of Bouverie Square in Folkestone, and today the end of our road was sealed off by police because of a "scene". Police were stopping anyone getting close to what had happened, so a) we had to w...

More Lost

Signed Sawyer figure if you're quick, the auction ends tomorrow.

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

Connections between Lost and The Office

Looking for the new episode, there are a few fakers out there. Looking on lostpedia for air times, it says the Americans only get episode two today, though Canada gets episode three, and Sky gets episode three on Sunday too. Didn't think much of epis...

Black Monday

Stop selling everyone, and you the news, stop telling people how bad it is, it's just making the ill informed small investors like me worry more, and sell, and exacerbate the problem. The market is only about as low as it was in mid August right now,...

It's a long way to Gutsy Gibbon

This version is Dapper Drake. I got a CD of a more recent version off someone at work hoping I could start again from there and then upgrade to the latest, but if I try that my wireless connection is lost immediately, and without that I can do nothin...

Hell yeah, encouragement, that's what I need!

Well it was a lunch more than an actual party, and there's really not a huge amount to report, and you're not interested anyway, but HELLO TO ME IN THE FUTURE, how's it going five years from now? Do you remember that day, about five years ago, when y...

Splendid weekended

Great weekend, went to visit the folks and we got down in plenty of time to go to Portsmouth Dockyard and see the Mary Rose and the Victory. The Mary Rose was more interesting than I thought, it's not just a big lump of driftwood, but the Victory was...

Programming is a poetry for our time

A fairly new song up on MJ Hibbett's youtube channel, not actually a new song, nor actually even new to youtube as it's been up there for a few days already, but hey I've not seen it and you probably haven't either, so let's pretend it's all new and ...

Just like a man....

Oh Southports lovely...... bit of an arse to get to.Next time you should try Morecombe, bit of a dump too, but its better than Blackers. Although I do love Blackpool (and yes i know its wrong...)I went to Sheffield week before last, its glorious the...

Canterbury weekender

Had such a great weekend, it's taken me days to recover, and I've not fully gathered my thoughts. I'm in danger of forgetting everything though, so It's time to blat out a mini review.Friday started how all our Fridays used to start, with a trip to C...

"Only" three more series of Lost after this one

I'm still really into it, but don't entirely believe anything the producers of Lost say so will see how this report from Yahoo pans out. Apparently there will only be three more short series of sixteen episodes each of Lost after this one.Really enjo...

The wrong kind of trees on the line

What a great day to start commuting again. Back on the five past midnight train into work this morning (ok, five past seven), and in my semi conscious repose I became more or less aware that the train was at a standstill, somewhere in mid kent. The t...

Belated weekend roundup

Weekend start sort of badly, and then sort of worse, and then actually got going really very well indeed. Train home hit some kind of delay, caused by some kind of delay on another train. That's as much detail as we've come to expect in the non expla...

A journey into the unknown...

Went to Ashford yesterday, for a day out, as Clare had the day off and we wanted to go bowling. Man alive, it's rubbish there... I'm kind of glad we hit the very worst high street type parts of the town first, as it meant that Ashford grew on us as t...

Spoiler alert!

Got something I want to say about Lost, so trying out a new "spoiler" bbcode type tag, so I can post things and you only read them if you really really want to:Haha was just expounding this same theory about Lost at work, my colleague googled for the...

Squirrel plants super walnut tree

A lovely gardening story, not that much squirrel content actually. Now onto the weekend review!We went to Rye, and it is nice. We mooched around some very very old buildings and shops and things, and had a look inside Henry James' house, and did all ...

Squirrel stamped to death and set on fire

Don't worry! It wasn't a real squirrel! Oh, it was a person. Marcia Squirrel, 56, was stomped to death at her home in April 2005, and her body was set on fire. On Monday, jurors convicted her son, Ruben Warledo, 37, of one count each of first-degree ...

Chops!

Started the weekend with a super rarity, drinks in Farringdon. Been trying to meet up with a couple of the Fareham boys who are commuters too and work in the area, and this week no-one had a good excuse not to do it, so it's all on - To The Eagle. It...

BBC fights Blue Peter badge sales

Badgetastic, there are still tonnes of Blue Peter Badges on sale though, going for crazy prices - is this the ebay guerillas spoiling the auctions? Nice work!Sadly finished Nathan Barley last night, it's a brilliant series, and should be compulsory v...

Weekend report

Super weekend, starting with The Mighty Boosh at the LCH, funny, good, we felt a bit old though, they do attract a young audience, lots of whom were dressed up. I maybe enjoyed the show a bit more than my companions, though it did feel a bit like a c...

I'm a morning person!!!!

Who was that clown on the train this morning - was it you? He was muttering to himself when there was no-one to talk to, and as soon as anyone sat near him hi gibbered and chattered and got them talking too... this disturbed my sleep. If you're on th...

It's all go today

It's all go today, XFM Winter Wonderland tickets sold out before I managed to send out a spam about them, so now doing a bit of marketing of The Eagles Farewell Tour. I'd like to see them, but it's 75 quid or so for tix... did this suddenly turn into...
