Er... It's alive?

Yeah sorry about that, I've been busy with work and with the current weather here in the UK, I'm just not up to banging out a blog post. I still have a few things up for review, including the terabyte network storage monster which should be arriving in the next few days, and the weather is much cooler just recently, so things might still happen.

Plan 9 from Outer Space goes Public Domain!

You may have read this over on SlashDot, but if not, click the link and go get you some. One of the worst films ever made - Ed Woods "Plan 9 from Outer Space" has been placed into the public domain, meaning it's available for free download.

I downloaded it and burned it straight to a DVD-R rather than convert it to DVD-Video. My player can handle the resizing anyway. It's still as bad (that is, unintentionally hilarious) as it ever was.

Download it here.

Nokia 6680 - don't bother.

OK, so you heard the ranting about how I was waiting for my Nokia 6680 to show up, right? Well it finally arrived and I had a great two weeks with it, right up until the point where it deleted the photos from the memory card.

Now granted, there was nothing work-related on there, but there were a couple of photos of my brother who we hadn't seen since Christmas, and that was kinda hard because I'd wanted to show my mum. I'm planning on going over to see him again next week and repeating the pics thing, so hopefully I'll have something to show her.

And I'm not trusting the images to a Nokia 6680 either - I sent it back and got a Sony Ericsson k750i instead.

While over in Manchester with my brother I managed to snag a copy of the original BBC series on DVD. I found time to watch the first couple of eps the other afternoon and did LOL muchly. Great stuff.

Current reading..

Deception Point by Dan Brown. Pretty good! You can't go wrong with a Dan Brown book, seemingly.
