Leopard




I've been using Leopard for 2 days now, and so far everything is working perfectly, and I reckon it's bloody good. Time machine is absolutely fantastic. Coverflow and Quickview are brilliant as well. But be very very careful before you install it. Make sure you update everything, repair permissions, then backup EVERYTHING,and take your time.

Spooky



Blinkin hell, is that time of year again? I'm sure my internal clock has gone very wrong because it seems like it was just a few months ago. Maybe I need hormone replacement therapy or something. And please don't tell me that it's possible to do anything useful with pumpkin innards, because it just isn't. I mean, if pumpkins were any good we would eat them all year round, wouldn't we... but we don't cos they are horrible spooky things. Pumpkin seeds maybe, but even then you're pushing it a bit.
These guys have got the right idea though...

Bliss



Yesterday, we did a Sunday Roast (on a Saturday). We bought 2 legs of lamb and some goose fat from the posh butchers in Lordship Lane and after 2 and half hours of commotion in the kitchen, we served up a superb feast for 6 adults and 6 kids. The grown ups drank loads of wine and blackcurrant martinis whilst the kids destroyed the house and played in the mews with sparklers.

Today I am going to watch Star Wars episode 4, (whilst recording James and the Giant Peach), then Top Gear and The Ninth Gate (whilst recording Long Way Down and Abigails Party.)

And I'm going to buy one of those giant tins of quality street.

Leopard



Cor Blimey, finally I might get my hands on the new system, it's been bloody ages since they first started wittering on about it. Over 300 new features apparently, some useful, many not. And I'm sure it will be very exciting for about an hour, then I'll start shouting at my computer again just like usual. Oh well, Hoh Hum and all that.

Blogger Play



As if most of you don't already spend far too much time staring at your computers, here's yet another way of wasting your valuable time. If you're even remotely nosey, ( which you are anyway because you are nosing into my life right now ) you will love the latest idea from the chaps at Blogger.
Blogger Play will show you a never-ending stream of images that were just uploaded to public Blogger blogs. You can click the image to be taken directly to the blog post it was uploaded to, or click “show info” to see an overlay with the post title, a snippet of the body, and some profile information about the blogger who uploaded it.
Perfect if you have an attention span of less than 3 seconds.

House Envy



We've all just spent the day shooting the Charles Dickens documentary in Griff Rhys Jones's house in Fitzroy Square. Five storeys of fantastic huge house stuffed with wonderful things, must be worth a bleedin fortune. Well jealous. Ellie had a great time, but poor old Oscar objected to wearing a smock and found all the hanging around a bit tedious to say the least. And it was a long day, eleven hours on set surrounded by people wearing some very strange clothes. In the end he just couldn't handle it any longer and we had to evacuate the place. Glad to be back home, even if it isn't five storeys high.
