Observations on the world and its inhabitants
📡 Breaking News: Meteorologists have confirmed the arrival of a Category 5 Excremental Cyclone, colloquially known as The Big Brown Swirl. Unlike ordinary storms, this one is powered not by warm ocean currents but by hot air, bad takes, and reputational methane leaks. The official government advisory reads: “When you see a shit storm, run ...
I’ve found it!! There are some nifty little applications to change the dates of file images and exif data – in batches. Why is this important? Well – because I use Robobasket to sort my photos into folders, I need Robobasket to pick up ‘Date Modified’ and Exif data from these files. Robobasket will then ...
Recently I’ve become re-addicted to Star Trek Voyager. In fact I had not seen Series 5 to 7 so it was just great to catch up. Voyager is like no other Star Trek spin off. Those who still recall and admire the original Star Trek and can’t unstick themselves from Captain Kirk, Dr McCoy and ...
I just realised that I haven’t blogged on this site for some time. It’s been an intensely busy time. I’ve not even been reading what’s happening much on a certain Rock. Hmmm..’he must be distracted by something pretty big’. Sure. I’ve been at work and at play!! LOL. Well mostly play. Well sort of I’ve ...
Alessio Rastani shook up awareness about banking and government in 2011. His honesty was so good that he was accused of being a hoaxer. Who is Alessio Rastani and why you haven’t heard of him before? I dunno why? Perhaps you’ve been too busy shopping, walking dogs, don’t spend time on that ‘evil thing’ called ...
Thorium is a fairly common metal that can be used far more safely than Uranium to generate nuclear power. The ability of Thorium to become a ‘cleaner’ and more safely manageable nuclear material was known back in December 1945!! Yes – so why are you now hearing about this? And if you’re one of those ...
I never read English Literature in my early days. That’s sad. It was a choice between ‘Sciences’ and ‘Literature’ – a very sad bifurcation over which I had no control. However, now in these later years I can appreciate what I missed. “To be, or not to be: that is the question:Whether ’tis nobler ...
If the title of this post appears to be gobbledeegook to you, then you know what to do next. No? Google!!! Google Drive is an online cloud storage drive provided by Google. I pay $USD 9.99/mth for a 1 Terabyte of space in the cloud – and tough if some can’t afford it, or need ...
‘The Edge’ – is a film screened in 1997. No – I’m not about to do a film review, so calm down. I had completely missed this film and only viewed last night on Lovefilm which is now ‘Amazon Prime’. Recently I’ve become rather saddened that most Sci-Fi films these days have lost the plot ...
Having reflected on another of Kevin’s brilliant editorials I wish to add my own observations: Stupid statements are generated more often than not by stupid people. Seemingly intelligent people are also capable of generating stupid statements. Rocks, bricks, sticks, stones and lower forms of animal life cannot be expected to generate stupid statements. Stupid statements ...
I’m quite amused and have been for sometime about how people make important or even unimportant decisions based on appearances – it’s as if facts are irrelevant. Hmm…..WTF am I talking about? Some may be thinking. Here’s the thing: people like to feel that they are rational and intelligent, but in the end most people ...
Okay…okay.. OneNote is not new! It’s become new to me – well sort of. Actually, I’ve experimented with OneNote (by Microsoft) since 2007. I know that because recently I discovered some old OneNotes I created from back then. I didn’t get on with OneNote back then because it was more than a bit confusing and ...
There’s been some recent excitement in cyberspace about a ‘new kind of money’. Some may be familiar with the term ‘Bitcoin’. Others are scratching their heads, whilst another lot are reaching for bottles of Valium and clutching their wallets, while lying spread eagle across their mattresses. I expect to be warned about ‘Bitcoin’ and crypto-currencies, ...
Some, in search of a laugh will giggle and know that it’s me who has caused my car to break the window. Well, continue laughing because the fact is that I did not do this. This was taken outside of a certain Hotel. On 14th October, when I parked there – I went to the ...
.. but surely not for everybody.. plebs excused. Ooops! Arrogant again. .. oh dear. Beethoven Symphonies 4 5 6 by Bezdin Ensemble
I’ve been out walking in fields. I stopped and looked at some sheep. 99% of them and their heads down – feeding. I had no reason to think that they were planning a terrorist attack on anyone. In fact I’ve never heard of sheep being arrested for terrorism or any crime at all. They’re peace-loving ...
No – that’s not my railcard. It’s just a photo of some railcard I found on the net, for illustrative purposes. So what’s the story? I decided last night that some time today (14th August 2013), I’d attend the Great British Beer Festival. So, I look for my railcard that give something like a third ...
This took place between end of June to 9th July. Yes, some will have figured that the Cap and Jumbie were there at the same time. ‘Twas a life-changing experience. Enjoy some of the scenes below. But video and photographs cannot truly approximate the raw beauty and expanse of Scotland.
Just take it as follows – because no questions will be answered and no further details provided. Yesterday I was about to fill up my car with diesel. Well not exactly my car – who the devil fills their car with diesel? I obviously mean the tank of the car! Chyrsst!! I have to explain ...
It’s the greatest time to be alive!! And ‘time’ is of the essence. I recall 35 years ago as high-school kids we wondered almost weekly what the world would be like in 2010 (an important ‘landmark’ of the future for me). Well, I’m here! And the ‘future’ is great! Live video conferencing on handheld devices ...
This is about failures to apply what is known, what has been learned and appreciated – and things of that nature. Why is that important to anybody you may ask – and as you are about to move on swiftly to the next webpage or whatever, you must know that you are exactly the sort ...
Oh well, I was expecting a delivery – it’s just not the one I was expecting! LOL. My cat, Rocco, was probably trying to please.
The Cap is still rather ‘disturbed’ as you will see.. and ‘Disturbed’ no doubt adds to the levels of ‘disturbance’. I’ve been moved by Disturbed’s lastest compilation album ‘ The Lost Children’. Fear not, before you reach to your ‘Freudian’ textbooks to assist you in your amateur psychoanalysis of my person, know that your System ...
You should see a set of photos below with what might at first glance appear to be dots. But as you look closer you should notice that they are tiny spiders. They were about 1mm across at the widest diameter. I call them robots – ‘bots’ for short – for the rest of this post. ...

Read and digest all information at http://www.slimroms.com/ – and note that you take all risks, and cannot sue anyone because no liability is accepted.

Word of the day: ‘tamasic’. I’ve been judged by an intelligent individual (who will remain nameless – and no it is not a mental patient) as being involved wholly or in part in “tamasic” qualities. This is taken as intended to mean any one or all of the following: I’m a lazy irresponsible cheat, who ...
I’ve never met Rob, but I know of his music and have read some of his bio. I first came across his music on Magnatune a couple years ago. Woods of Chaos – his amazing piano piece came with a computer I had purchased. So I hunted him down on the internet and came across ...
Yep – this is the news for those caught out by the Dummy Market! You, not knowing yourselves will be in tears if/when you see the Samsung Galaxy S3!! I’m punching the air about this. In my write up of the comparison of S2 vs Iphone4 in August 2011, I had concluded that S1 was ...
Well, it’s story time again folks. Sometimes the simplest of situations make me think so hard about human nature. This is about my recent trip, how I saved myself money, had a good time, and had an interesting exchange with a taxi driver (coming up in Part 2 – stay tuned. All photos below can be ...
