Dear flisties,

If I'm going to start watching Bones at the start of S6 because that's where the show happens to be on some random channel, is there anything I should know?

Much obliged.

So I googled for reactions to what's going on with Delicious now that it's been relaunched by new owners AVOS. Turns out there is a total shitstorm out there. It's become completely useless to me due to losing the descriptions when you're looking at tags, plus the results aren't actually sorted by date so there's no way to see what's new, plus you ( Read more... )

The delicious site seems to have fixed its updating problem, as I can now get up to date results for my tag searches. Unfortunately, the descriptions of each bookmark have now vanished. Completely. This seems to have been deliberate during some "upgrade" the new owners have done, but it makes the site practically useless now for tag searching. ( Read more... )

Hmmm. There is a new Sony Reader coming out next month. There will be only one version, instead of the three that currently exist. So my pocket size version is out, and if I go for the new version it would be larger. Not sure what I think of that. I looked up the specs, though, and they've taken a mighty step backwards in terms of the great multi- ( Read more... )

I don't know who's watched S6 and who hasn't, but my US DVD set arrived on Friday and I caught up with the last six episodes that haven't been show here yet. Wow. It got good.

( Still don't know who's seen what, so it's behind a cut... )

This setting up a computer lark takes for-frickin'-ever! So far I've installed the new hard drive, run the recovery, installed most of my main applications, run windows update after windows update, restored a metric tonne of files, and am running some system checks and healthcare stuff. There's still more to come, but this will do for today/ ( Read more... )

That's it, the laptop is off. The backup and recovery disk stuff took a lot longer than I was expecting, but 'tis done now. Me and my netbook will be best friends over the next few days. Once the new hard drive arrives, I'll do my requisite reading and spend the ten minutes needed to swap the drives over and the several hours needed to get the ( Read more... )

So, my laptop has been a right pain in the arse for weeks, months even. I had very strong suspicions that the hard disk was failing, but I ran three different tests on it and they all came back without finding anything more than a couple of bad sectors ( Read more... )

I use delicious to check quite a few things, but the tag searches are all stuck on 14th Sep, no matter how I come at them or whether I'm using IE or Firefox. Some of these tags usually have around 50 new entries a day. It's not a cache issue - I'm having the same problem on my laptop, netbook and phone. Google isn't giving me any recent complaints ( Read more... )

A list of things today, because my day has been random ( Read more... )
