the new "bad wolf"

the "bad wolf" for the new series of doctor who is "torchwood". the same name as the spin-off series. torchwood is an anagram of doctor who and has so far been recorded in the christmas invasion and the just-aired episode tooth & claw.

it was also one of the weakest link answers in the episode bad wolf of the previous series. And finally, both torchwood.org.uk and torchwood.net domain names have been recently registered by the bbc.

edinburgh: day 3

we left off with day two over but now it's time to go home and so we continue

8:00am
woke up. lay motionless in bed for a half-hour, hoping not to arouse suspicion that i'm awake.

8:30am
suddenly shoot up out of bed, scare everyone in room who thought i was asleep. messed about for another half-hour.

9:00am
dwelled in nostalgia by whatching the clangers on tv.

9:15am
got dressed and packed bags. panic when handheld games console goes missing. eventually found at bottom of clothes bag. how'd it got there i'd never know.

9:30am
left room and had breakfast at ajoining little chef. sausage, egg, hash brown and toast. yum!

10:15am
bought a tartan pen from tourist information shop for a cheap souvenir.

10:30am
everyone else decides to drive along scottish coast. i disagree and want to return home. had enough of driving on journey here. arrive at beack on outskirts of city. it's incredibly windy and the best view you have is of a power plant.

10:35am
after taking pics of power plant, decide to leave.

10:48am
drove through a small village by the name of aderladie (or something similar)

11:17am
enter somewhere called dunbar and stop at co-op to buy drinks and look at view.

11:23am
leave dunbar

12:16pm
enter berwick, berwickshire.

somewhere between 12:16pm and 3:10pm
drove to holy island. can only been done at low tide as road floods twice a day. i say visiting island is pointless. others disagree until discovering there isn't anything to do there. then are too embarrased to agree.

3:10pm
arrive in rothbury. stop and buy toasties for lunch/dinner.

3:35pm
leave rothbury

4:30pm
stop at chester fort to look at hadrian's wall. wall no longer there as is too old.

5:32pm
leave fort

and that's where the record ends. for some reason nothing else of the journey was documented so you'll have to guess at it.

| day 1 | day 2 | day 3 |

dances with computers

it was about 5:30 last night. my mum returns home, complains a bit, then tells me she got a computer off a collegue. my heart jumped "finally!" i thought "she said she was going to get a replacement weeks ago". but she delivered a warning, "he told me it needs a powerpoint or something". i thought she was on about software "don't worry" i don't need that

the computer was great, it was everything the old one wasn't. it had usb ports! the old one was so ancient all it has was a floppy drive. it could connect to the internet! the old one couldn't do that either. this was a great feeling

i started to move the rotting remains of the old to replace it with the new. the new computer didn't come with a keyboard or mouse but mum found an old mouse and let me borrow the keyboard from the downstairs computer. it had worked before. but now it was in place noting worked. the hard drive started up, the monitor showed the start up screens and then it died. all the little leds stopped flickering and went out

i eventually worked out that the colleague meant the power plugs bit at the back wan't working right and (as this is the only part of the computer i don't know how to remove properly) i was stuck

mum's now at work, looking for someone else who's giving away an old computer

daft punk

as i'm sitting here in my pjs and a dressign gown, listening to my new daft punk cd, i am thinking. what shall i type on my blog? should i tell the web-surfing public about how i spent many hours yesterday afternoon rearranging all my books and cds? or is that too boring? how about that tv program about that train crash on national geographic?

...as i'm sitting in this empty house,
just reminicing...

i just can't stop nodding my head to that daft punk

following up from a past post, there is one recorded word longer than pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, and that is the monsterous bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskaw-
ntoohoohoordenenthurnuk.

a word invented by novelist james joyce in his book finnigans wake, it allegedly is the symbolic thunderclap representing the fall of adam and eve

although not actually counted as a real word, i have to say it's probably the longest i have ever come across

new

we haven't given something up for lent, we've actually given ourselves something. a new design! the old one was cluttered and wasn't really that good, and i didn't wnat to make a new one so i searched around and got hold of this little beauty

i like the images at the top as they describe a lot of things about me (apart from the chavvy looking one). i like music, news, talking quite alarming nonsense, it's all there

if you're wondering where the normal archives and stuff are then just mouse over the plus sign in the top right corner to show up a neat little menu

ps. you can get sneak previews from the new doctor who series on the bbc website, the first episode stars those freaky cat alien things we've seen in the trailors, but something's fishy...

pps. from now on we will put links to everything mentioned (and a few extra) at the end of every post, like below.

town on ebay

someone is selling a full, 83 acre town on ebay! the small californian town of bridgeville, usa is up for bidding on ebay.com for the low, low price of £1,000,000

cheap!

it's been there before in 2002 when several people bid for it, then pulled out when discovering it was a delapidated old wreak

currently there are no bids so get in there early and bid now!
