Autumnal update..

Hmm yeah, this blogging thing isn’t really proving to be a massively compelling pasttime is it?  So what have I been up to since the start of September when I stopped briefly by to post some badly re-written lyrics?
Well, quite a bit I guess.  Lots of watching Forest – who are doing rather well at [...]

If the Inspiral Carpets were Forest fans..

Leacock don’t know what he’s done
His hair looks daft stuck in that bun
He can’t say, Teale can’t see, McEveley punches just like a gay
Leacock don’t know what he’s done
His hair looks daft stuck in that bun…
So this is how it feels to be Cloughie
Managing a bunch of scumbags
This is how it feels when they all [...]

Stuck/Frozen pixels on iPhones..

I’ve never encountered a stuck pixel before.  Not talking about dead pixels here – which are, well, dead, but stuck ones.  I noticed on my iPhone’s charge screen that one pixel was lit up green when it should’ve been black, from a bit of googling, green seems to be a common ’stuck’ colour, but theoretically [...]

Downgrading iPhone 3.0 firmware 7A341 back to 2.2.1..

If you’re like me and you fart about with things when you shouldn’t, then you may have upgraded your iPhone to the illicit Beta release of the 3.0 firmware.  The one I installed was the ‘Gold Master’ version (7A341), and it worked like a charm.  However, it occurred to me that iTunes might get the [...]

Nottingham City Council: Proud to rob its workers..

Nottingham’s pretty famous for corrupt officials, admittedly on a more nationalist scale we needed the probably fictional outlaw Robin Hood to rob from the rich to give to the poor, and it was quite a long time ago.  In a more modern twist the City Council are still hell bent on robbing from their workers [...]

Who’s a pretty boy, then?

If you’re ever stuck for something to do, indeed, even if you’re not, then you should hotfoot it to deepest darkest Lincolnshire and visit The Parrot Zoo.
That’s what Cat, Rich and I did last weekend to spend a day doing a ‘parrot experience’ – basically shadowing Neil, one of the zoo keepers, and generally probably [...]

This is amazing.

It does exactly what it says on the tin!

Take me to the.. hospital…

There’s only a couple of bands I generally buy all the output of without question, one is – perhaps unsurprisingly to anyone who knows me – the Levellers, and the other is the Prodigy.  As such I opted to take the unusual step of plugging their very-soon-to-be-released album as upon first few listens, it’s a [...]

There’s snow business like snow business..

I’ve had a ’snow day’ today – luckily (or unluckily depending on your outlook) I’ve got a fair bit of stuff I can do in a mobile capacity at the moment, so I’ve had a bash at that.  I had initially set out to try to make it to work, my ingenius plan of heading [...]

Timeliness..

So yeah, I’ve been busy.  Actually, that’s not strictly true – well, it is – but should I have really fancied updating bloggage then it really wouldn’t have been even vaguely beyond the realms of possibility.  Not at all.
House is less building-site like, the bathroom however is a definite work-in-progress.  We have a working bath [...]
