5/4 Waves & Rain :(

Friday, December 30th, 2005

Today the supposed bad weather arrived, which turned out to be nothing more than overcast skies and this wet stuff called rain. So I waved goodbye to the snow for another year, it’s a sad time when the snow melts and it reminds you that you’re another year older more than your birthday does… But [...]

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

Cleared up the Retro room some more today, found a lot of other stuff to stick on eBay too, like an extra A1200 I had laying around hidden under a box of cables. Also went through a lot of Waynes old computer bits and bobs, spent a long time just looking at some of the [...]

SNOW!

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

Yes it happened at about 5am this morning it snowed! For the first time in years Eastbourne got a good dusting of snow and it started to get heavy around 10am..

Tis the season to be jolly..

Saturday, December 24th, 2005

People all over the country will go to Church tonight and pretend to believe in God and Christmas so they can then feel better about getting drunk and eating too much over the Festive Holiday. At this times of year lots of people are feeling lonely and depressed because they have no family or friends, [...]

Ink Eye’s

The Ink turned up today, sadly it was not all I had expected and was short on ink for my Epson Photo 900, still I contacted them and they are sending out some more ASAP (expect I’ll get them next week sometime). Played a fair amount of GuildWars again today wandering around finding all the [...]

Version 2.0, Picture Frames & Backlighting

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005

So Yesterday I upgraded to WordPress Version 2.0, after playing about with it for a bit now I have found that the Image plug-in I used to use when adding pictures has been disabled, this is likely because of some changes in the way the menu systems now work. Overall appearance has changed on the [...]
