I keep mentioning that I'm busy, but thankfully I do get a fair amount of time to myself between shifts, so I can pop on here to post. I remembered that I've not updated my own blog for a bit, so here I am. In some news of interst to me, Futurama is back (I spotted the link over at Epicycle.org.uk) : http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/back_t..._don_kaplan.htm Anyway, back to updating my iPod content for the car before I head out.

Well Doom the movie is out ( http://imdb.com/title/tt0419706/ ), and I've had a chance to watch it. The film instantly came across as one that was set out in a very similar way to the first Resident Evil film. The film stars "The Rock" as a rather dull muscle bound character with a gun and a short haircut, sadly not a patch on the performances he can give when given the hance (those in Scorpion King or Walking Tall were pretty decent). The rest of the actors were pretty much unknown to me, save Dexter Fletcher who made an unusual appearance. I won't spoil it for anyone (although to

I tend to use Dreamweaver 7.01 (MX, 2000 something-or-other.. they keep changing the version numbers and product name) various online projects around the 'net. It uses a handy interface that makes handling lots of files much easier. It makes life easy for me to search through multiple files at once, and to do global updates on a series of files if one image or page is moved. Of late Macromedia chose to update their product to version 8. Now I was waiting for this release myself as there's several bugs that bugged me (sorry bad pun), and as Macromedia have a nasty habit of releasing new ve

Well I had a chance to get some light reading done while I was on holiday and thought that a few of the highlights were worth a mention. Stephen Ambrose's books are a darn good read. Everyone's heard of Band of Brothers, so I'll skip that one (it's the book that the series came from). Wild Blue is a book that follows the life of 741 Squadron during WW2. It's well documented and referenced. Like BoB it mainly follows the story of a singular crew as they get to grips with the war, the B24s and the astonishing casualty rate. Ambrose quotes several other authors' works and material inclu

The world's largest beaver dam breaks and floods the adjacent town of Beaverton. As the victims wait for help to arrive, everyone in South Park tackles priority number one: who is to blame? Only Stan and Cartman know

Well my flight touched down last night, and I've not had much of a chance to clear up my email and get through all the updates I need to do, but I'm getting there. Two weeks in the sun... yummmeh. Completely randomly, I thought I'd add a few links to a glorious horror that I've been reminded of after running some updates. I'm currently being nagged every 10 minutes to reboot my machine by the update service. Oh how I hate XP most the time: ( http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000294.html ) Apparently the solution to the problem is: ..well there ya go
