I started updating my iPod tonight with newly created playlists based upon the types of music that I actually listen to. When I first got the iPod a lot of the music that I *thought* I’d want to listen to got added to the one single synced playlist. What I rapidly realised is that I [...]

Me and Becky took Morris kite flying onto Wanstead Flats yesteday. It was with a £2.99 Thomas The Tank Engine kite and from Morris’ point of view it was the best thing he’d ever experienced. Obviously me being me I was immediately thinking of getting a better one so we could do some stunts, but I [...]

Barnet 2 Leyton Orient 3

The O’s beat Barnet 3 -2 on Saturday. I listened to most of it on Orient World and it sounded a cracking game. Let’s hope the return of Jabo (and Alexander’s form) means a turnaround for the home game perfermances too. I can’t make the next one as I’m in Cornwall windsurfing, so Craig gets to [...]

I want to do some scripting to parse the contents of the iTunes XML library and ultimitely transfer the contents to a remote server. For my desktop I use Windows XP because It Just Works most of the time and I reckon that doing what I want under DOS is probably impossible, I don’t know [VB|.NET|Delphi|C++|or [...]

My Knowledge Magazine subscription ran out 2 years ago and they didn’t bother to remind me to renew, so I forgot…and now it’s two years later. Well anyway, I’m (very slowly) ripping off all of my CD’s to MP3 and had another spurt tonight. This combined with the iTunes 5 release means that I’ve been [...]

6. September 2005

Recently I got into FreeCycle. If you don’t use it then I would strongly recommend that you at least try it out although it should be noted that the list has VERY high traffic. I think it’s a great concept and I’ve managed to get shot of lots of old hardware that was cluttering up [...]

Leyton Orient 2 - Bristol Rovers 3

Boo, my home* team beat us convincingly on Saturday. Another poor performance although Tudor gave a good account of himself (again) and Alexander broke his duck. Dolan was very poor (and was abusive to the crowd at one point) and Mackie lost us *another* penalty *as a kid I went to about 5 Rovers games, that [...]

Wanstead Heath consultation exercise

5. September 2005

1 Comment

I’m extremely lucky to have Wanstead Flats at the end of my road. The southern end of Epping Forest, it used to be called Wanstead Heath and one of the options being considered in the current consultation exercise is to give it back its old name. Whilst I imagine locals who’ve lived in the area [...]
