One night, no sleep and I boost by Stardust HD score by 500,000 points. But I’m now in the 29-30k high score position. 10 million is the next goal. I’m hoping that last night with no sleep plus a slightly early night tonight will flip my sleep pattern closer to normal. It’s been way off [...]

Just p and p to add…

So ebay have decided to fiddle around with their fees because they want to sell more. And this will mean zilch to most. What ebay should do is nail the postage costs. You can probably buy a PS3 on ebay for a few quid. The postage will set you back a few hundred of course [...]

I meant to switch from the last domain to this much sooner but what with work, flights, more work, home life and not enough red bull, things slipped. Not that it matters.

A couple of posts ago I mentioned that I was debating a site move. Someone left a snide comment that because this was on the web I could do what I wanted then move on and reinvent myself. I am changing domains, I do intend to blog less contentiously, I do intend to blog better [...]

On his left wrist is a watch the size of a rock. Above that is a poor – probably done by a friend – ‘Bear’ tattoo. On his head, covering the not-quite shoulder-length black hair which is tied back into a small pony is the obligatory baseball cap. It is – naturally – on backwards. [...]

I bet the fanboys are sweating in anticipation. Get.a.life. Update: It’s one sticky mess in the 4 mac forums I’ve been watching. Still, at least it’s another whole year before the same OMG ITS STEEEEEEEEEEVE junk again.

Good film. No sex, no violence, none of the stuff I usually like, but it’s a good film. 3rd Edward Norton in about 3 weeks. I’ve even told Jacq she might like it. It was another 5 quid bargain bucket film and well worth a viewing. imdb Also watched one called Unknown and this was [...]

Pondering a move.

Up late playing Stardust HD (currently around 43000 on the highscore list) and I see Matt has posted – along with his birthday – that he may change his domain name. Last week I put robots.txt onto 3 domains with a view to moving to them – well one of them anyway. Yahoo and Live [...]

Finally got around to buying a HDMI cable for the PS3. The TV we have – Toshiba 37X3030D – gave a great picture (I thought) when playing games, and Casino Royale looked good. I’d see the images in HD in the shops and knew it would be better but this is gobsmackingly good. Ridge Racer [...]

A numbers game.

Rudy Giuliani, the 9/11 candidate who beat Ron Paul thanks to the aid of a 3% swing on Diebold voting machines, received 9.11% of the vote in three different towns. Coincidence or somebody’s idea of a sick joke? src: Prisonplanet Only it’s not a game, is it?
