Just checked into my Sky subscription – didn’t realise that i was paying 16 quid for the movie channels on sky – most of which are repeats. Needless to say i’ll be cancelling the subscription to the movie channels tomorrow, just keeping the rest of the channels on the package. That will save me enough money to upgrade the dvdontap subscription to two dvd’s at once, which means I could be watching a dvd whilst the other is on the way back or to the company 🙂
For those of you who have been suckered into the sky subscription packages and want to see how much you could reduce your payment by changing the package deal, then go to the Sky Package page. (Took me ages to find it so hopefully this will help someone.

Well we watched the first dvd of 24 last night. Four hours later it was time for sleep. Cracking series. can’t wait for the next disk, which will get here on Saturday or Monday I reckon.
Signed up for the renewal of a domain last night with amen.me.uk (daft name) which are selling a domain for 3 pounds a year, and if you sign up now, they are offering 100mb hosting for free (normally £56 a year) for the first year – good deal! I’m now waiting for all the dns to update around the world. Also time to start learning php and mysql (as these are two more processes available with them)

My laptop takes about 10 minutes to log onto the lan now that it has Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 installed on it. If it’s not on the lan, then I get in within a minute. Annoying to say the least. However, the OS does now recognise the mobile phone via the infra red port!

First DVD arrives from the DVD club this morning – shame I now have to go to work 🙁

Mother of Pearl may have answered my previous question.

Anyone have details on how to create an RSS field that doesn’t involve upgrading to blogger pro? Ideally i want to get this website on its own thing like moveable type (or greymatter) but I dont have access to install extra perl libraries or anything 🙁

Wow – this woman has threats made against her as she was no longer linking to a companys website. Some guys are scary. As a side note if you want to link to me or not I don’t mind!
Thanks Grumpicus

Got an email from Geocities – that company that used to be so good until it got taken over by Yahoo and the greedy execs arrived! They said that as I had not updated one of my sites (not my main old one thankfully) they would delete it unless it was updated within 30 days. Went to look at the web site and it was already deleted! Dunno why anyone continues to use them nowadays 🙁

These wallpapers are fantastic!
