Arnie

Does anyone else find it fascinating that Clinton was damned for having a consensual relationship with a woman who is not his wife and Arnie can be elected after having sexually harrassing many women?

Iraq goes GSM

According to The Register, the mobile networks in Iraq will be GSM. This is good as all the surrounding countries use GSM and having the US CDMA standard there would have have been a nightmare for the users.

Nice to see a sensible decision made for a change.

Nana & Sam

Nana(Jacky) & Sam are visiting us today mainly to see Jon. With a little bit of cunning, Jacky also brought round some boxes that Georgina was storing at her mum’s so we had to accept them. They’ve gone into the garage with all the other boxes. One day we will sort them all out!

We went out for Sunday lunch at the local Beefeater. It was quite a nice lunch with large portions, and reasonably cheap. Jon behaved himself very well too and a good time was had by all.

MP3s

Getting a little bored with my current in-car CDs, last night I created a new MP3 CD using MusicMatch. Playing it today, it seems that over half the MP3s have come out unplayable. I now need to determine if it was the ripping process that buggered up or the burning, so that’s what I’ll do tonight.

SWG

Played SWG last night. I’m really getting to like it now. The interface is a bit sluggish, but I assume that’ll improve over time. I really like the waypoints system and the “heads-up” moving map which really make moving throughout the world so much easier. Also, it looks like I’ll be able to play with my friends who play “hardcore” without any detriment to the group which rocks!

Late

Left for work just under 10 minutes later than usual and have just got here :( It’s amazing how much difference a few minutes can make to the journey time!

Whilst travelling, Gordon Brown was interviewed on the Today program. He came across well, but like every other Labour politician at the moment blamed the Government’s unpopularity on anything but the Government’s policies…

ADiary 1.1.1

ADiary 1.1.1 is out! Just a minor update that allows for relative document directories to be stored in the ini file.

I’ve done this so that I can install ADiary on my USB flash disk and so I’ll always have my notes with me wherever I go. (I keep my USB disk on my keyring). However, when I plug the disk into a computer, I don’t know what drive letter it’ll be assigned which is why I wanted relative paths, so now ADiary find it’s own documents :)
