It’s all about me!
I’ve never actually been excited about a games console before (well, unless you count the time when my mate Doug bought a Sega Megadrive), but the Wii looks like amazing fun! Perhaps I’ll even get Katie to play it…
I’ll have to wait until next year to buy one though, looks like everybody has sold out.
I just found all my old ScreamTracker files from years and years ago (well, we’re talking 12 or more years ago). It’s quite a nostalgia trip listening back to them, and it made me realise how far trackers have come. I’m currently getting the hang of Renoise, which is going quite well so far.
I was going to try and upload a couple, but WordPress.com only accepts images and a few document types. I’ll have to host them elsewhere and link me thinks.
‘Let Love In’ by Goo Goo Dolls is easily one of the worst mastered albums I’ve ever heard. It’s absolutely hideous sounding, especially the title track. Glad I didn’t pay for it, doubt I’ll listen to it again…
My new drums turned up at the shop yesterday. They look very shiny, and I love the finish

Pictures will follow as soon as possible.
Well… I happened to find myself in PC World today (or as my friend calls it, ‘Lilac Hell’) and just happened to pick up an MX Revolution. I must admit, so far my impressions are mixed. The scroll wheel is pretty cool, and mouse itself looks fantastic. Easily the best designed mouse asthetically that I’ve seen in a while.
I don’t know whether it’s just the fact that I was so used to my MX1000, but I’m not sure about the mouse movement yet. The sensor position is off to the right hand side of the mouse, which results in the pointer not quite doing what I expect. It’s got a little better since I started using it so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt for now.
Currently I don’t think it was worth £80, but that may change…
One part of me really wants one, another part of me can’t help wondering whether it’s worth £80…
I simply don’t understand how MySpace has got so popular (I must be too old). I’ve been trying to work out how to upload music to my account for the last half hour. Everybody else seems to be able to do, so why can’t I?
Update: It turns out I need a Music account to do this. And it’s not possible to convert. So I’ve cancelled my account so I can sign up for a music one.
Finally, after 3 and a half weeks of waiting (I was told it would take 2), my Cyclescheme voucher turned up on Saturday. So I’ve had the bike a few days now and I’ve been taking advantage of the fact that I’m on holiday too!
It’s an awesome bike. Very different to my old one so it’s taken some getting used to. First time I’ve had any kind of suspension and also the first time I’ve ever had a bike with disc brakes. They rock!
Now I don't normally have too many problems with cars when I'm on the road cycling somewhere, but this morning I decided that every driver should have to spend time cycling on the road, just so they know what it's like when a car gets a bit close.
It happened to me about 3-4 times this morning on one stretch, and it's scary! Car wing mirrors just happen to be roughly the same height as bicycle handle bars, so there's every chance of a car getting too close and knocking me off. Not to mention the push of air you get when they speed past, that's enough to make me wobble!
I think I'm going to start riding a little further out from the curb on that stretch, because it means cars can't just fly past.
