The Curious Case of PlayTV and Aerials
9 Apr 2009
Words can not describe how weird my TV signal is. I live close to a very good transmitter, with immediate line of sight being just blocked by the cusp of a hill. I also live very far away from (30 miles) from another transmitter, but with perfect line of sight. This means I get one strong, but incomplete spectrum of signals combined with another complete, but weak set of signals.

KAM KHP1500 Pro Headphones
6 Mar 2009
I have been looking for some closed back headphones for some time. I used to use Sennheiser PX100 headphones, but that was mainly back in the old office with quieter or no air con. In the new office I am directly below the air con and open back doesn’t cut it.
I was using CX300s for both commuting and office use. I don’t really like using the same units so often, as I am sure using plugs all day won’t do my ears any good.

Dave and Rosie's Wedding
2 Mar 2009
I had a great time at Dave and Rosie’s wedding at EICA in Ratho. It was a wonderful setting and the company was great.
Dave and Rosie are away now on their honeymoon in Japan, snowboarding and lying on beaches 😀
I hope they have a great time.
The Gerbils are down, but not out
23 Feb 2009
I got a voice mail Saturday evening from my good friend James, I could tell by the tone of his voice something was up. I called back and he is in A&E in Dunfermline. Oh s@!? I can hear James OK, he is explaining that himself and the missus, Susan, are alive, but have been in a bike crash. Oh s@!? I can hear Susan in the background, phew! He asks me to pop around to the hospital as soon as I can.

Microsoft might be on a winner

Look how easily Windows 7 integrates devices 😀
I am so far impressed, the task bar I am taking time to learn and some devices are supported better than others.
Consistency update for the site

Basically if it is blue or a picture you should be able to click it. If it is white or grey by default it is just text.
Tornado Dry an nice gadget for flat owners
2 Feb 2009
I live in a maisonette, basically a flat or apartment with it’s own front door. Benefits like not having to buzz people in and so on. Although I have a rather nicely sized two bed, I find in the darker months dry clothes to be a real problem. This winter I had a problem where I was using up clothes faster than I could wash and dry them. I am single working guy so I can’t take advantage of drying days during the week (I have my own garden).

Gallia Needs You!
29 Jan 2009
These days I have to seriously wonder whether the gaming populous even wants high quality games any more. Apparently thinking and charming plots not count for crap. Games can do more than play themselves and put women back to the 50s, where the best they could aspire to is School teacher (not a bad job, but certainly should not the only option).
That’s why Gallia needs you! or rather Valkyria Chronicles does.

Goodbye Emusic
23 Jan 2009
Oh well that’s it. I have left Emusic, I joined in August 2007 and I feel I have had my money’s worth. Going indy music only has forced me to try new things and has affected my musical tastes. The two key tastes that Emusic promoted in me was electronic and goth/heavy rock. I now listen to Jean Michele Jarre, Future Prophets, Astral Projection and the like more. I liked the genre before, but buying from Emusic skewed me toward these lines.
