Really enjoyed the gig last night. Editors are one of my favourite bands, this being the fourth time I’ve seen them live. Thankfully it wasn’t too full when we arrived at 9 and we were quite close to the front. The doors had opened at 7.30 but I met the lads for a few pints beforehand in the Foggy Dew. Afterwards we popped in to The Turks Head and then got the early nitelink (almost missed it as Dave couldn’t find his coat). Off work today but going to football later on.
From the Frank Skinner Show years ago. A reminder of how hot Britney was back then as well.
Went to this tonight with Dar and what a great thriller it is. The story revolves around a woman (Laura) who, after being a former orphan, decides to take care of a number of children in her own home. The children will join her adopted son Simón in the house but it all turns a bit Shining when Simón disappears. The cinematography is top notch and the skill with which the tense moments are dealt with is astonishing. I’d thoroughly recommend seeing this when it gets a release where you are.
Love it. Inspired by Mulley’s use of it today on twitter. Proper week surmising blog post coming up tomorrow by the way.
Well, it’s about a month old now but I love it. I had been contemplating getting a laptop for the past six months or so. My desktop machine is about 4 years old and, while it was pretty fast back in the day, the Windows XP installation has slowed down considerably. Another factor was the impending development of two web sites, where I would be meeting clients to show off work etc.
I had decided to go with a Dell anyway so their January sale provided the opportunity I needed. In saying that, I was seriously stuck in two minds on whether to get the 15″ or, the model I ended up getting in the end, 13″ screen. In the end I’m delighted I went for the latter as it’s very light and the screen (White-LED) is fantastic. Granted, I don’t have as much desktop real estate as I do in work or on my desktop but it’s not a bad trade off. Unfortunately, Dell don’t sell the model I got with Windows XP so I had to re-format and install it with associated drivers etc (excellent m1330 driver resource here).
The specs are in an extended entry for those interested:
