Idiots on Look East
No, not the news readers, although they qualify anyway. No – I spotted this on the lunchtime news today:

Snow day!
Oh what a shame! Due to the snow, work is closed today! How awful. I’ll just have to try and entertain myself all day instead.
Mine eyes! Mine ears!
I was flicking through the “new music videos” section of Virgin On Demand last night, when I stumbled across this.
Daisy is one month old!
Tomorrow, my gorgeous baby daughter is one month old. You might be wondering why I’ve not posted much about her here, well, since she was born, but that’s because she has her own (private) website for friends and family. I’m not keen on posting lots of pictures and information about her in a public space like this for obvious reasons – not least because she already appears to have attracted an unwanted stalker. Anyway. It’s amazing how the month has …
Adobe Red Pill
If you hold down Command (on a Mac) or CTRL (on Windows), and then choose “About Photoshop…” in Photoshop CS3, you get this: I have no idea why.
Fillum review: Various things
I’ve watched a lot of films recently, but haven’t had a chance to write anything here about them because, well, some other thing has been taking up a lot of my time. So here’s a concise list! Withnail and I (1987) Two wannabe luvvies hop around drinks and drugs, seemingly to just fill in the time between acting auditions. Verdict: 4/5 Ghostbusters (1984) I always wondered what the point of Winston is in Ghostbusters. Watching it again didn’t enlighten me. …
The games of 2008
For four years now, I’ve kept a diary detailing the games I play. Part of the reason was to see how many games I buy (and to reduce this number), and how many I complete (and to increase this number). 2008 saw a drop in completed games – 33 compared to 61 in 2007. I don’t think this is bad, when you look at the games I’ve been completing. In 2007, there were quite a few shorter games, including 5 …
The 2008 search result wrap-up

Happy New Year!
It’s a few days late, sure, but I’ve been busy. I spent New Year’s Eve trying to keep the baby quiet so we could get some sleep. We barely even noticed it was night time, let alone new year. All the days just seem to roll into one. Anyway, things are calming down a bit. As in, we’re actually getting some sleep sometimes now. Hurrah!
I haven’t slept in over 85 hours
But it was worth it!¬¨‚Ć Today, my wife gave birth to out gorgeous baby daughter, Daisy.¬¨‚Ć I’m so proud! And I cried a lot. I’ll type more another day when I’m not knackered. Well, as knackered. 85 hours is forever.
Baby now, please
Contractions started about 40 hours ago, and it still isn’t forthcoming. Please come soon!
Happy Christmas everyone!
You know, I just saw Father Christmas going past on his sleigh! No, really, I did! And I shot him. Merry Christmas!
Fillum review: Porky’s (1982)
Since I was far too young to have seen such filth before, this was the first time I’d ever watched Porky’s. I was under the impression it was sort of like American Pie, only from the 80s. I was part right. It is like American Pie (in fact, one of the writers of American Pie has signed up to co-write a Porky’s remake, apparently), but like American Pie crossed with Happy Days and Grease. I had no idea it was …
