EDIT: Okay, have tested it. A wonderful extension, very stylish, and does a lot of sophisticated stuff simply. I contribute or provide admin services to several blogs, and in one fell swoop it imported all the blogger ones, and provided a lovely interface to it. Very nicely done *wears his very impressed face*
To say I am excited about the prospect of a mobile Animal Crossing would be an utter understatement. One of the strangest, cutest and most downright enthralling games of the past few years, mobile, with wireless? I am so there. I normally buy my games in person, but this one has gone on order a little while back, so hopefully will be sitting in my porch on the morning of release. All impatient now just thinking about it.
Didn’t achieve much. Did get to go for drinks with mates, watch a lot of motor racing, and relax a lot. No bad thing. Return of the F1 cars with the Bahrain race, which was on at a right awkward time, just early enough that I could worry about missing it, whilst also late enough not to merit an alarm. Got to see it, anyways.
I’m your only friend
I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend
But really I’m not actually your friend
Wow, I just spotted this and had to post it. A website with detailed descriptions of the first 99 A roads in Britain. Lengthy descriptions
Well, I am starting to regain my sanity from the giving up smoking adventure. Now I just physically feel like utter crap. Going to have to have a health kick of some description soon, to try and get me over the hump of it. I feel more positive about doing so, now I have knocked the smoking on the head. It is a biggie, it does make you feel you can deal with other things. What has scared me somewhat in the past is quite how out of breathe I can get from fairly low-level activity in recent years. This is a simple combination of 1) smoking and 2) being fat. I need to start work on 2 as well now.
Just think, when I hit 40 and am a carved Adonis, we will look back on these days and laugh. A bit.
I think I have covered most of what I wish to say about my illness right there. Tied into my not smoking, it is not pleasant.
In much better news, I have published my first search plugin for Firefox on the official site. It isn’t a big deal, it is more the fact that it is my first piece of open source software, so I have a sense of community pride today. Go Flotsky!
Right, something I am going to work on is a playlist in iTunes of all the records that are sampled in Beat Dis, by Bomb the Bass.
According to here
The records in it are:
BEAT DIS (Extended Dis):
Theme from Dragnet
Theme From Shaft – Isaac Hayes
Theme from Thunderbirds
Christmas Rappin’ – Kurtis Blow.
Rock Steady – Aretha Franklin
Funky Drummer – James Brown
The Grunt – Fred Wesley And The J.B.’s
Theme from ‘The Good, The Bad And The Ugly’ – Ennio Morricone
I am sure there are others. I am going to come back to this soon and figure out.
Last week I was wondering why I didn’t yet have Google Talk working within gmail. In fact, I was missing a few features I had heard had been released. Now mrsfb has gmail also, and her’s had it all there. So I searched and searched (using google of course) until, hidden away on Google Groups, I found this little gem. Under settings, check which language you are using. If it is NOT set to US English, you won’t have the new features. So if you want them, change it. I thought this was just me, but apparently a few people I know have had the same problems.
