What did you get for Christmas?

I got a awsome watch

A German Christmas

We are having a German Christmas Eve tonight. All that means is that
we start eating and drinking 12 hours early.

Cinemas these days....

I'm currently sitting in a cinema waiting for the movie to start and I was thinking how bad the new idea of seat allocation is.
That was until I realized something. Next time I come to see a movie I'm going to book online, choose a good seat and show up 20 min's late so I dont have to sit through the adverts and previews.

I'm not to worried about missing the movie previews now that you can download high-def movie trailers from a number of sites on the net. Also they are mixing up the trailers and adverts so to watch one you have to watch the other.

I wonder if many other people are going to catch onto this and what the cinemas are going to do to stop this happening?

Tomorrow

It looks like it is going to a be a good day to sit inside and have a drink with friends and family. Unless you are in Perth, then you could go to the beach or play outside.

What laptop?

For the past year or so I have liked to think that my next laptop might be a Mac. I started looking seriously this evening and I have come to the decision that it will not be.
Now I am not a normal user, most of the work that I will be doing on it will be data intensive, so lots of RAM and a fast hard drive are important. I do not play games so I don't really care about graphics and some of the work programs I'll run will require XP. None of these facts rule out a Mac, well apart from the fast hard drive. I don't care about built in web cam or the colour of the case. Nor do I need a BluRay or HD-DVD player.

I was surprised when I started to list the spec's that I cared about and the prices next to each other. I have only looked at Dell & Apple so far and I am going to look at the rest of the manufactures, but as you can see below, I am forced to rule out the Mac.

I like beer

And this mobile blogging thing...

It's arrived

Now all I have to do is try not to play with it while I'm at work.

Shhh, Don't wake him

Doesn't he look cute sleeping in his new bean bag.... Thanks Santa

There's a senior citizen driving on the highway. His wife calls him on his cell phone and in a worried voice says, ''Herman, be careful! I just heard on the radio that there was a madman driving the wrong way on Route 280!''

Herman says, ''I know, but there isn't just one, there are hundreds!''

It worked

It looks like I'm going to be sending more photos to the blog.....
Whoop Whoop Whoop

Check out these dogs

First of all, this is just a test to see if I can email photos to my
blog. If it doesn't work then I'll delete this post. If it does then
I'm going to be sending more photos.

Stuck

We are waiting fo the tide to go down, the beach is flooded and we can't pass with out driving throught the ocean.

Cherry Chocolate Rain

Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, this came along...

It's still slowing fading away

Here are a couple of YouTube videos of what the screen looks like while it is dying.

My LCD has been slowly dying all day

It started out this morning when I turned on my computer. I started watching a TV show on it and rebooted half way cause I thought my video card was playing up. I kept watching and then there was something like a burn in on the screen that I hadn't seen before. I couldn't work out what it was so I kept looking and I ended up taking a photo of my display. I then realised something was wrong.

Right now, the screen is washed out and the response time seems to have been boosted to an impressive 1 - 1.5 seconds.I am typing and watching the letters fade in over the 1 or 2 seconds after I type them. It is a fairly cool looking affect. Changing tabs in Firefox reminders me of a tab extension that I once installed.

On the good side I am planning on getting a new display tomorrow. I am looking at the ViewSonic 22" VA2226w
