Winehouse to eat Eoghan....

2008-11-15T22:43:00.003Z

After searching for the x-factor results after the sky+ box crashed whilst recording we are not amused, i pointed laura to digitalspy which has some of the fastest forums for tv around.
She found the answser and i looked at the site after she had finished, the spywire (a quick newsfeed) read Winehouse wants to meet Eoghan I did misread it completely but it made me chortle.

xbmc Atlantis beta 2 released...

2008-10-06T22:05:00.002Z

Visit xbmc for the latest version, the first beta version one worked well on my dell, with it running in windowed mode it means I could have it running in the background on the second monitor.

itunes 8

2008-10-06T19:50:00.001Z

Ever since I added an ipod to my list of gadgets (it took a long time as I preferred my rio karma and even the creative MuVo²) I have wrestled with itunes it just doesn't do want I want it to do!
So I use floola instead and everytime an update comes out for itunes floola gets an update too. With it currently at 3.6 it supports every ipod out along with that motorola phone that worked with itunes. floola allows me to do pretty much everything I want, I can add podcasts, single mp3's and audiobooks. photo support along with flac conversion oh and it supports last.fm!
so why the post about itunes? well the last time I installed it I ended up with safari and if I installed the latest version I would end up with 4 apple apps that I dont need. so a post on lifehacker made me look again, they had linked to a zdnet blog which had tips on how to exclude the extras no mention of safari this time around though. It is all a little too complicated for me so I will leave it and play with floola instead!

Fish n Chips

2008-09-15T09:02:00.003Z

We ate out on Saturday, at Rick Stein's fish n chippy at Padstow, not The Seafood Restaurant but the harbour side takeaway.
Service was a little iffy and the fish although battered nicely was not the best I have tasted, Kerry and I did think that the chips were nice though.
We also had a pot of garlic mayo which was served in a small polystyrene pot this coupled with the plastic cutlery reflected poorly on rest of the chip shop industry who use standard wooden forks.
These are the ones he should be using!

Overall a thumbs down from me.

Hong Kong Garden

2008-08-23T17:51:00.007Z

I did a little bit of searching today, I was looking for a couple of music downloads after spotting after picture of Siouxsie (home page) in the NME
Laura is in this week's mag (page 3) so I had to buy it then read it, she is in Europe for three week's. Buy the mag for the picture or leave a comment for a scan.
So there I was stumbling around and I also went looking for some other members sites, Steven Severin had been updated this morning with a little piece of personal news about a new photo portfolio he has released with candid photos signed (but out of my price band @£100) with Robert Smith from the Banshees tour in 1983 which was EXACTLY the time period I had been looking for! The portfolio is called Japanese Whispers 'Robert in Tokyo 1983' all pics are available to view in his myspace above is a preview.
The other interesting item was the amount of downloadable radio sets out there - no links from me, google them i want them to survive! I grabbed a handful of shows this afternoon that will go onto the ipod in short rotation. My radio in my work van is not the best and driving is a somewhat solitary job so you need something good to listen to. Groups must hate myspace, when you visit the sites of these individuals you can see the effort and hopefully the input that the artists have put into them when you visit myspace it goes a little crazy!
The downloads - yes I got them from 7digital

Scary Man @ Glastonbury

Scary Man, originally uploaded by luptonn.

This guy was walking around the cabaret area pushing an old pram with a baby and a couple of feeding bottles inside, the gait and manner were scary but intriguing, a hidden music player belted out some bassy tunes and we stumbled across him with Laura who really was scared of him!

Songbird 0.6 released (oops! yesterday)

2008-06-15T17:40:00.001Z

It does weigh in at a hefty 69.8megs which is an increase on the last version. I downloaded, installed and ran it today with this dialog box upon installation!

Not the best of starts, I selected restart Songbird but it crashed everytime, I had a look around on the forums but I could not see any pointers there. I shall try again in a week.
