Flat all Safe

Managed to get through the whole series of Spooks with my flat undamaged by bomb, gas, floods or fire. Well apart from the threat of Nuclear War of course

Well it took a while but we got to 250000 space hoppers. the 250000th is called 'netty' and hails from hungary.

Angel is off

Sad day Today as Angel our Spanish Systems Administrator is off to pastures new. He's been a quite force keeping things together and all the project running smoothly. He knows where everything is and what all the passwords are.

UPDATE:

We been phoning him about once a day since he left needing to know one thing or another. He's in Spain so this must be getting quite expensive. Most things have been sorted out but for some reasons half the testing environments have gone MIA, but Angel didn't know about them. That's just what happens around Xmas when hardly anybody is in the office.

What's Spanish for C'est la vie?

Rage against X factor

Made my little contribution against low quality mass entertainment.

Hopefully Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine will be the Xmas number one. Suitablity enough after having seen them live last year.

Go buy it and stop the Cowell machine you know it makes sense.


UPDATE: WE DID IT YEAH!
Rage beat X factor by about 50,000 copies Merry Xmas

An online Xmas

Done it

I managed to get all my stuff ordered online for the first time. for a couple of years now I've run pretty close but this year I've bought all my pressies online.
Hopefully they all arrive at my parents' and then I can have a huge wrapping session.

Marilyn Manson and the Dry Ice

Not as good as I was hoping it would be.

Went to see the controversial one the other night, Marilyn Manson.

The support act Esoterica weren't too bad being maybe a bit like the Lost Prophets.

The main act started with the most dry ice I've ever seen in my entire life. So much so you couldn't really tell what was going on for the first 4 songs. He did a great effect like Edward Scissorhands with laser pens for fingers which looked great with all the dry ice.

The audience didn't seemed to really get into the swing of things as the show went on despite there being nothing really wrong with the set. They did get worked up for the song The Beatiful People which had some fire to it. However that was the last song so it was a bit late.

Rob and Me found a nice pub around the corner as we got out before last orders.
