J has discovered that there is an option in using BT’s amazing tree of “Press #1 to do this, #2 to do that” etc to get to speak to a real person. Choose the one that says the owner has died.

(My one concern when switching back to BT was their customer service. So far I have been proved right many times and we’ve only been dealing with them for 2 weeks. Why switch back? Infinity has arrived at the exchange so 6x speed increase)

I hate pixelmator

You’d think that people who claim they’ve made the best image application on the Mac would have a better website than grey text on a black background. Dear Pixelmator people, get a clue and change it.

Videoswiper. Spammers.

So Videoswiper are spammers because if that isn’t spamming nothing is. Just my personal opinion of course.

Google ARE the problem

They make their product, stifle innovation by reducing the ability of others to create yet earn money from their own hard work and then they kill their product too.
Official Google Reader Blog: Upcoming changes to Reader: a new look, new Google+ features, and some clean-up.

Google are the problem. (and screw G+)

Playing Civ5 while listening to Vanessa Mae. If the Red Bull was replaced by a nice cup of tea I’d consider myself even older.

This is the sort of game I bought the laptop for and it hits my gameplay itch right on. It is also a game where I believe the photosensitivity warning to be justified. I’ll hook up the HDMI so I can get the sound better but no way am I playing this on a screen any bigger than it is. Great game.

Lying in a field with the sunset on one side and the dog rolling in the long grass on another. Peaceful.

Have had to take the emergency can of Red Bull from the car – none left in the house!
