Skype

Ooh yeah used Skype properly for the first time last night... have been signed up for a while, and have spoken to one person on it once before now. Heard from a few friends who were online, so thought I'd give it a go with my pocket pc. It's brillian...

Sky+ vs TIVO

Went to Maidstone today

Primarly we went to Maidstone to get Harry new shoes. Bit far just for that, but Maidstone has a La Tasca so it just beat Folkestone. Last time we went to La Tasca I think we had five dishes between us. This time, because of a special deal going on w...

Where is Lost?

Lost season four starts today I think, anyone seen it yet?Also why do I still have google ads for pallets in kent when popbitch has Sky's wehavetogoback.com... I've seen the trailer now, let's be having the episode!...

Terry Pratchett's Colour Of Magic coming to Sky One

Only just seen a trailer for it, guessing it has not been on yet. Their Hogfather was OK despite not liking the story so I'm sure this will be goood. Interesting to see the same actors playing different characters (though in the same universe), David...

Lost Initiative podcast is BACK!

See here, or search for it in itunes. Doesn't Iain Lee look particularly freakish in that pic?

More wifi fun

Got my imac up and running with osx at last, this is GOOD. Thought I could just plug my wireless dongle in and be ready to go, streaming itunes around the house, but NO! Got drivers for it for OSX (there are none for OS9), but it's USB2 and this old ...

New episodes of Red Dwarf

Surprised that I didn't notice this sooner, I only heard this mentioned just before christmas when a friend heard Craig Charles talking about it on his radio show. There will be new episodes of Red Dwarf! Will they be any good? I doubt it, we'll see....

A quiet night from Harry

Harry has been confused by the clocks going back I think, he's been awake at 4 or 5 for the last few mornings, but last night he slept thorugh peacefully. Good boy! He's well into walking now, and chattering quite a bit too, it will soon stop being a...

Harry up and wailing at five am today

Oh dear, feeling groggy today. Nothing up with him, he just wanted company I think. I got up first and picked him up, he tried to sleep in my arms but as soon as he sensed he was being put down again he started bellowing. I had to leave him, then Cla...

Sky broadband is on

Bye Bye BT! Nice and easy to set up all wireless just worked really smoothly. Seems faster than it was before, though this doesn't sound likely I must be imagining it.Broadband on anyway, everything working. Not much time to update here, very busy at...

Don't talk to me about Boris bikes...

Just reading MJ Hibbett's blog and his plan involve Boris Bike bays and it reminds me that we tried to get a Boris Bike again on Monday. And our keys failed again. They have never worked, the only time I've been able to get a bike is when a member of...

My butt is frozen

Very cold here today, our water butt in the back garden has iced over which has made the top pop off again. Also all this cold + damp + wind has made my garden gate swell up and bust slightly off its hinges, there's a job for me. Waiting until it is ...

Woke up feeling refreshed

Woke up VERY LATE INDEED, but refreshed. Harry has run off with our alarm clock, I assume it's gone in a bin somewhere. Second alarm clock is Clare's phone, which seems not to have gone off, perhaps because it was plugged in to the laptop charging. T...

javascript voip (skype) baby monitor

javascript voip baby monitor, via javascriptweekly.com cool, shame we are about getting to the stage where we don't need a baby monitor any more... wait a minute though as this is voip it has an unlimited range, I could go to the pub, or even on holi...

Back better

Had a terrible day with my back yesterday, still not sure what I did at the weekend but it was crippling on Monday, so I didn't go to work. The day was not a complete loss though, Clare was at work and Harry still went to Granny and Grandpa's as usua...

Fist of Fun out on DVD at last

Fist of Fun was Richard Herring and Stewart Lee's ace radio and TV series from the britpop era, and Chortle reported yesterday that it's to be independently released on DVD at last. I never buy DVDs, or even watch them since we got XBMC and Sky Plus ...

A fraught morning of rugby and a lovely walk

Just watching the highlights of the rugby now and it's reminded me to pick up the laptop and say something. We were up fiendishly early this morning to go to Dom's and watch the England / Argentina match. Was looking pretty hairy all the way through,...

Duvet day #2

Still feeling like crap here so have not gone to work again. Better than yesterday as I slept a lot better last night, so will be back up to speed tomorrow. So spending the day sitting, just sitting. This gives me time to think about the serious stuf...

Cheapest way to get Sky multiroom

A magic eye, even comes with a new remote control. I think this is what I bought by mistake before when I wanted to hide my DVD player and so on away in the cupboard. I got a refund on that and bought the right thing, but sounds like it would do the ...

Just waved Clare off to the airport

She's gone off with brother number one to visit brother number two in the Americas. Flying early in the morning so I got them a good deal on an airport hotel can you tell who with?Harry is in bed, with a big plaster across his head. I'd like to get t...

Video sender is rubbish, won't even power on

Not sure whether to buy another more expensive video sender (after I get my money back from Maplin for this one) or commit to running cables... or maybe just going Sky Multiroom won't work out more expensive in the long run?So no new TV fun for me to...

Lovely weekend

Mum and Dad have been here for the weekend, Mum has just made a big roast dinner for Harry and me and Dad has been helping with the DIY. He's on his fourth run to the DIY store at the moment. First time we got the regular supplies we needed, then we ...

Got the TV connected up with no wires

Can't really appreciate the full beauty from this picture but I have got the new telly talking to the sky box without wires at last. That was yesterday, today I've taken it all down again so as to decorate the room, hope it's all still working when I...

Kids Planet

Took Harry to Kids Planet today, hectic and actually tiring for me but he loved it. We tried to go yesterday, but we got caught up in massive traffic in Ashford for about an hour. I hate Ashford.Clare is out tonight with friends, I am in. Not sure wh...
