    Pictures from my new phone

    I’ve decided to post a few pictures I’ve taken with my new phone (a Sony Ericsson K800i). Mainly to show off what I think are nice pictures. I’ve also taken the opportunity to start using Flickr to host my photos. Should free up some bandwidth on my web hosting. 🙂 The first one is a picture of the Port of Liverpool Building and the Liver Building I took on the way home one night from work. I was very impressed with the clarity of the picture despite the size of the lens on the phone. Now this one is the same scene but taken by zooming in. Now I’ve realised…

    World Of Warcraft Movies

    What’s this? Two posts in two days from me? Well yeah…. Don’t know what that means. Anyway, it’s another meaningless and pointless post with some videos in. This time they probably won’t mean anything unless you play World Of Warcraft. I’ve picked a few videos that actually have a story to them, so you may enjoy them even if you don’t play the game. Anyway onwards to the videos: Guards The Brothers Tauren 2 Night Of The Living Dead 3 Illegal Danish: Super Snacks Zinwrath

    Fancy Sharing Your Stuff?

    Basically this post is about a few techy things that I’ve found useful recently. In work I often find the need to access my PC. Now previously I used a combination of TightVNC and obscure port forwarding on my home router to get past the corporate firewall that I am encumbered with in work. Now that has all changed with me finding out about a new service called Logmein. Basically you log in via a normal secure website and one of the services is a remote control facility. Obviously for this to work you need to have the server installed on your PC, but it is literally a five minute…

    Overtime…..

    I’ve realised that I’ve not posted for a while so thought I’d better post with what’s going on in my life. Not that many people probably read it anyway…. I’ve realised that to do all the things that I need to do this year I need to supplement my income somehow. The only way open to me at the moment is overtime. Basically my ethos with it is hammer it early on this year and then I don’t have to do any (or very little) later on in the year. That should get me all the money I need in about another 3 months. Ah well. Can’t think of anything…

    So what’s going on in my life?

    So I haven’t posted for a few days, so thought it was about time I made another post. It’s not going to be another multimedia one due to me posting this from work and Youtube now being blocked on the proxy (Why? Oh why do you do these things to me?) So life, hmm yes…. Not feeling at my best at the moment. A word of advice, if the company you work for decides to outsource your job function and TUPE you out to work for someone else, look for another job as soon as possible. The likelyhood is that even though you will have equivalent terms and conditions of…

    My First Film Post!

    So I’ve been wondering what my next blog post should be about and I decided that it should be about the films that I’m looking forward to this year. First of all we have ‘300’. It’s based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller (who also wrote/drew Sin City) which is loosely based on the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC). In this battle 300 Spartans, 400 Thebans and 700 Thespians held off the entire Persian army (between 60,000 and 120,000), causing severe losses to the Persians. The stuff of legends! (well it is now anyway.) Next we have Transformers. Robots in Disguise! Now, Transformers is one of those things that…
