Its Saturday afternoon. Not a lot to do, so I thought I'd just take a stroll through Kontraband looking for new amusements.

I came across a wonderful little musical animation - Ninja. How could I possibly not fall for an animation containing ska, kittens and ninjas? So who did this wonderful track? 7 Seconds of Love. Never heard of them ( Read more... )

Some time ago I saw Rob Manuel's animation Hey Hey 16k. I love it. The words are perfect, and snapshot a sentiment seldom discussed ( Read more... )

I'm getting more and more events landing in my inbox every day. Four in particular popped up for the 28th October. After some hard thinking, I reduced it down to a couple of events.

Things are looking pretty good. I'm in Perth right now. I went over on company business to hand over some things to a customer. And for once, all the midnight oil burning gave returns. Everyone was happy, signatures were signed, and things went generally swimmingly ( Read more... )

I'm setting off for a week in Perth, Western Australia. Chances of a net connection when I get there are minimal.

Mr BT engineer came round today. Sorted the problems in no time. Turns out that, way back when, BT occasionally used to install little RF blockers into the terminal block where the phone line comes into the house.
