Because It Turns On · Friday July 7, 2006

On Sunday just past I (with the gracious help of my housemate) reformatted my laptop. Rather just reinstalling everything to its previous unpractical state of affairs, I’m trying a few new things out. Firefox (rather than IE) being the main, and most significant change at the moment. Getting used to clicking tabs up the top (I still don’t get the fuss about that). Integrating it with the programs I like, choosing components etc, is the main project of this week, and perhaps next as well. Not exactly the most exciting holiday project, but it needed to be done!

A few months ago I acquired an mp3cd of the complete Beatles albums. Today, now I’ve cranked up fb2k, I’m listening to Abbey Road as an album for the first time ever. And so far have recognised every single song.. How much The Beatles have sold seems an insignificant piece of trivia compared to the extent they have infiltrated the collective conciousness of our society!
I saw Yellow Submarine (was it just?) last week. Oh my, the bad puns! ...I liked it anyway, bit of fun really. It looks good; I’m interested to know what animation techniques they used, especially considering it was made in 1968. What tools were around then..might look it up sometime, time, time..

Have been working (boring job to pay rent work) a lot these holidays, at least it seems that way to me who hasn’t had a proper job before. Have found time to go to a couple of great gigs (Hi Peter :P). And a group of us walked up a mountain* Monday past, and got drowned on the way down. (Stay tuned for a couple of tinyphotos from.) I bought some tangellos, and I guess they do taste a little like tomatos, as unexotic as that is. The holidays are going too fast, I want more time, both to do things and to relax.

*not really a proper mountain, in mountain terms.

Which store/shop/place/s is/are good to buy a MiniDV Cam from?

  1. ...because it turns you on? Hoo baby.
    Oh, not quite. Oh well :)

    Hi right back at ya, C :P (and a poke of the tongue too)
