World Idol

Thursday, December 25th, 2003

I don’t know why I’m have this on, but I’m doing a bit of work on a project and it’s playing in the background.
Who would put themself infront of that audience would have to be insane. The judges are a joke. They whole show is a joke if you ask me.
Right now Diana, […]

Man Who Sued God, The (2001)
Good movie! Very cleverly done, with an original story and whitty script.
The basic premise is a guy gets his boat hit by lightening and can’t get insurance because it was an “Act of God”. He proceeds to sue God and gets the insurance industry as well as the churches […]

Doctor Who — Shada the “Untransmitted Story”

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2003

I got ahold of the original 6 Shada shows today. So while I’m running a lowlevel format on my machine I’ve got it running. Quite interesting, and cleverly done. The series wasn’t completed, but Tom Baker narrates the missing sections so well that you don’t even notice it (to tell you the truth, I find […]

Computer Fixed — A Christmas Miracle

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2003

Stella went out with friends (to watch LOTR:ROTK), so I decided to tear apart my computer to see why the damn thing doesn’t run when standing up.
There wasn’t much to go on, but I assumed that there was something stuck under the motherboard, so everything came off and there it was, a screw sitting […]

Saturday, December 20th, 2003

Was giving Annie lunch, and she wanted a piece of the grapefruit I was eating. So I obliged her. She took one bite and screwed up her face and said “Daddy, it has sour on it.”.

Happy Hanukkah!

Friday, December 19th, 2003

I was cooking more cookies and I turned on cbeebies for Mia. Annie was upstairs and stuck her head out of the room and said “Daddy what’s on the TeeFee”, I told her that Tweenies was on, and she said “OK, I think Annie needs to watch Tweenies.”
They were doing a Hanukkah special, so I […]

Annie visits Santa!

Thursday, December 18th, 2003

After about a week of psyching Annie up, I finally took her down to Whitley’s shopping mall (which I can’t believe does not have a web site) to see Santa in his grotto. It’s a friend of ours doing Santa, and he “warned” us that little kids often get scared of the grotto (which is […]

Lord of the Gloating Rings

Thursday, December 18th, 2003

So a friend of mine calls me last night to let me know that he’s in the cinema waiting for LOTR:ROTK to start. He abruptly ended the phonecall with “OK, it’s starting now, gotta go”.
To get back at him for his gloating I thought I’d call him half way through to find out how […]

Ooooh, Winamp 5 soooo nice!

Tuesday, December 16th, 2003

Slashdot | Winamp 2 Winamp 3 = Winamp 5!
Arg, presents somewhat of a dillema. Up until now, my favored mp3 player has been zinf. Simply because it was the best friggin mp3 player out there. It is also Free Software, which is a BIG plus.
I would stay with Zinf except that one feature […]
