New Desk(s)

29th November 2009 - Category: Life,Photography

This is my new desk setup. They are Ikea real wood kitchen work tops (lagan) with cheap Vika legs. The Base unit stand is an old shelf that was left in the flat when I moved in years ago.

Longer term I will setup something better to hide the cables than the card board box I got the work tops in. The current solution does stop me snagging cables with my feet. :)

Listening to Babylon 5 music takes me back

5th November 2009 - Category: Life,Music

babylon 5Back in the day Christopher Frankie the composer of the Babylon 5 music agreed to the publishing of MP3 by him from B5 and the cancelled B5 game from Sierra. Of course the RIAA couldn’t let free music on the internet, even though it was agreed to by the copyright owner and composer.

Anyways, listening to those tracks I did get, is awesome, its like its 1995 all over again. Man am I getting old.

Now “GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR GALAXY” haha

Far to many social networks

7th October 2009 - Category: Internet,Life

Seriously, there are hundreds of fricken social networks. I think all of my friends do at least one social network the others don’t.

I currently do:

I have given up on quite a few over the years, because they either don’t gel with me or I found I never use them. Most are inactive, but I fully left the MySpace.

What do you do and why?

Gah, My Walkman is gone! (found)

21st September 2009 - Category: Life,Tech and Computers

Well problems do come in threes.

Problem 1

Checking the oil levels on the Mazda I couldn’t see a tide mark. After asking everyone I know, my Dad got back from Hols and dumped a litre of oil in and the engine is ok!

Problem 2

Caught the rear passenger light when leaving the car, went to start it the next day and not doing. Used Stan’s jump starter and got it going.

Problem 3

Somewhere berween where I parked my car and Stan’s my Walkman went missing. Great just great.

I am now kicking it old skool with my NetMD. Far too big to loose.

Update!

Found It!
