…or xkcd is inspired today

I guess a link to explain Burma Shave is necessary. Tom Waits made me wonder with his song.

miscellany

The Flashing Blade.

Currently here. Childrens’ TV from way back in the seventies. You remember this one? I do. The theme tune is baked into my memory for ever.

Flickr viewer

Tiltviewer is a very cool way to see your Flickr stream. Or mine. I like what it does; somewhere between a slideshow and browser. Much cleaner interface than Flickr’s pages. Smells of the future. Very clever. Here is their ‘ome page, Mr ‘iggins.

Carbon Copy Cloner

I’ve stumbled upon the fact that this backup software stalwart for Mac OS X has finally been updated. Time to give it a whirl again. Which reminds me …

Hard-drive upgrade. Again.

Not quite two years since the last upgrade I’ve done it again. This time not precipitated by a dead-disk but by a severe lack of space. 160GB drive swapped out from my LaCie external drive. Not a quick fix but a good one. And I took to opportunity to give the old girl a good clean. How nice. Shinny Aluminium. Thanks to the folks at iFixit for the online guide.

Photogasm

Last but by no means least. My friend Mick Partridge created Jude Edginton’s website. Jude’ photo’s are really very good. Really. Nice site Mr. Partridge.

iPod running scared…

Not really. Currently there’s stuff all over the place about the bad closed Apple. I am sympathetic. Mmm. I wish for more interoperability in my iPod. And features too. To be able to sync one iPod with laptop AND desktop. Essentially the laptop should be a nano extension but with acces to all playlists. That would be just great. My journeys to and from Marbella are long and provide the opportunity to listen to lots of stuff. I’d like to be able to modify my playlists based on this. Sadly – the only place I can modify playlists right now is in Marbella. I’m in Cadiz province. Up a mountain.

Anyhows. Highlight right now is Ricardo Villalobos great textural stuff to work too. Last night – well I can’t remember what I listened to last night – Damn. I least I tagged a few with gold stars.
