Blog

 

Well, here it is at long last.  I've been meaning to create a blog for so long now but really just couldn't be bothered.  So, what's a blog?  Well, it's an online diary where you can record you thoughts and interesting finds - other people can then view the blog and gain a little insight into your interests.

 

Of course, mine promises to be a rip-roaring, laugh a minute intellectual roller coaster.  So visit often and see what I'm up to.  Use the categories menu on the left to filter my blog posts as required.

Sun 17th February 2008Lee Mack Live
Filed under: Humour

Last night we saw the legend that is Lee Mack, not quite live, but nearly, we watched him on DVD.

Definitely worth a watch, it's only £4.99 at play.com so you have no excuse. 

Brilliantly funny - not quite Peter Kay, but getting there.  Anyway, heres a clip for you to be getting on with ;)

Thats right fans - just got to level 53.

Still questing in the Un'Goro Crater, hope to be out of there pretty soon.

Again, other than that, nothing much to report.  Toodlepip!

Level 52 at last!  Not sure why its taken me so long, must be losing my touch ;)

Now questing over in the Un'Goro Crater and will head back over to the Eastern Kingdoms when I get to level 55/56.

Nothing else amazing to report.
 
 
Wed 13th February 2008Firefox 3 (Beta 3)
Filed under: Internet and Technology
The Mozilla Corporation have released a Beta version of their popular web browser, Firefox.

This new version is entitled Firefox 3 (Beta 3).

Mozilla have warned however that this release is not intended for casual users, and being a Beta version should be considered for testing purposes only.

I'm a Microsoft man myself but if you are interested in trying the new Firefox, click here for the download page.  If you would like more information on this release, click here for the official blog post.
 
 
Wed 13th February 2008New Sky+ Box (again)
Filed under: Personal
OK so today was the day of our 5th Sky+ box installation in less than a year.  Alas, the engineer did not have a Pace box on his van (he said he hadn't seen one for 3 months!) so instead we got a brand new Thomson box.

Fingers crossed for some trouble free viewing, which would make a change.

I'm going to email Sky and ask for some compo though.

Level 51 this time fans.  Just pretty much completed every quest in the Searing Gorge.  I can also report, after going from level 50 to 51 with my sparkly new Felguard, that my earlier comments were accurate.  He does indeed rock.

Up to level 50, I was using the Succubus, which was pretty good, but it lost aggro way too easily.  The Felguard, on the other hand constantly keeps aggro, even if there are more than one mob attacking. 

If you're a Warlock, and thinking which path to take, I would definitely recommend a full Demonology Warlock with the Felguard - they rock.

That's right friends, level 50 is finally here!

As you all know, along with level 50 comes my Felguard.  Didn't have much time using the Felguard but so far I can report he rocks harder than a rock band at a rock concert in Rockington Town.

I'll write more when I've had more time to put him through his paces!
 
 
Mon 11th February 2008Comments Code Updated
Filed under: Website News
I have updated the Comments code for my blog to include the ability to add a website address.

So, if you wish to leave a comment, and have a website of your own, enter it's address in the relevant box and when the comment is submitted, a link-back to your site will be added also.

This is only optional however.  If you don't have a website of your own, or if you do have a website but do not wish to publish the address, then just leave the field blank when submitting a comment.

That's all for now ;)
 
 
Sun 10th February 2008First grass cut of the year
Filed under: Personal
Celebrate good times, come on!

Yes, the sun is out and I donned my knackered old trainers, rolled up my denims and dragged the Mower out of the shed today.

Short back and sides for the front and back lawns, and the first cuts of 2008.
 
 
Sun 10th February 2008Sky+ Box number 4
Filed under: Personal
Yep, the Thomson Sky+ box we had installed just last week failed.  I asked the installer if he had a Pace box on the van, but again, no he didn't.

This time, we have the ugliest of the Sky+ boxes, the Amstrad.

Fingers crossed that this one lasts longer than the normal week-long lifespan of a Thomson.

UPDATE:  Well, seems I spoke too soon, the Amstrad has now just given up the ghost.  It's making one heck of a racket and the screen keeps going black with a vertical green line across it.  It's lasted no more than 2 hours after installation.  Got to wait until Wednesday for our 5th Sky+ box to be installed now :(
