Flooding in Yorkshire

With all the flooding around Yorkshire my family are are some of the lucky ones not to be devasted by all this, and after watching some of the scenes on tv and reading about it on the internet it seems strange that I'm sat writing this about 420 miles away in the Highlands of Scotland in Inverness on a warm, dry night after one of the sunniest days we've had in a while.

The picture shown is one my Dad took of Elsecar Park Bandstand surrounded by water and is just one of many on the BBC (South Yorkshire) webpage that people have sent in and this does beg the question of
"Where would we get this close up first hand footage and information from if it wasn't for mobile phones and digital cameras?"

Bicentennial Post

After quite a while away form writing any sort of post (it seems to get pushed to the back of a very long queue of things that need to be done...)
either computer wise or just in general.

I'm now happily rolling along with another new Hardware Setup thanks in part to Paul again who just can't resist helping somebody from kicking the absolute f@#k out of a poor defenceless computer AGAIN and AGAIN!!! (that sometimes reminds me of HAL.... (B'Stards that they are)... I wanted to just keep the basic sort of junk on the pc to try and see if any problems would arise and up to now I've only had a couple of shutdowns due to little niggles.

Is this the way forward?

I doubt it, I'm pretty sure that there's many a problem on the horizon!!!

God Bless You Internet, Software, Hardware Issues and all the Driver Errors all over the World.... Let all that sail in thy Blue Screens, Re-Format and work in Peace.

Not much of a post, I know...
but with my luck recently I'm happy to publish it without a complete shutdown and turning into my mate here on the right Andrew Martin and going round calling all the women in my life Little Miss & Old Miss, etc... boring everybody to tears and really wanting to own one of them big magnet crane things that they always seem to have in American junkyards full of old cars and scrap metal.

Anyway that's it for now.

But, just one more thing before you go....

The picture above does seem to resemble somebody I know in a few years time....

www.reverberation.co.uk

With most of any spare time I'm actually getting to do any work on the computer, I'm trying to concentrate mainly on getting some considerable content (i.e. Live Band and gig photos etc...) on to www.reverberation.co.uk , my main website.
I am now considering what route to take with the reviews section. When it 1st came to my mind to start this, I had full intent on sectioning this off into a sort of "magazine style" thing with different pieces on live gig reviews, new, old and my classic album releases and generally personal views and feelings on anything musical.
I still want to approach something like this but for now I think this will drop into the background whilst I try to find some sort of new approach to this.
I just feel that I'm still trying to find that missing piece....

A quick update on the website

I've eventually got a bit of content up on the new look website and although the main aim now is to get back into the blogging and photography, I'm still being limitated by the computer problems I face.
In the past few weeks I spent a lot of time working on the gallery side of the website and with the computer sparodically shutting down a lot of work, time and effort was wasted.
So, I now face the task of scouring the internet for a good deal on a decent spec pc.

Holiday .... I'd love one ....

Sunday Morning...

A great song by Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground ....

Nothing much happening at the moment on the website front... I can't get a chance!!!

Just taken a weeks holiday to do some much needed decorating around the house...

What a difference a new look and a coat of paint can make to the whole outlook and ambience of a room!!!

( Shit... it's all going a bit Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen now )...

When I first took the week off I thought 3 days at the most would surely suffice to paint a large front room, two hallways and stairway and then have some time to kick back and get some serious relaxation in...

My Arse...

No chance of that...

It was like painting the Sistine Chapel or the Forth Road Bridge...

2 days just Glossing the architraves and skirtings... then 2 days painting the front room.... followed by (what I thought would be the hard bit)... a day and a half on the hallways and stair...

After I'd painted I then turned to furnishings (girly or what?)...

That's when the new desk was purchased...

Aah well, it's done now and just for the sake of it I'll mention that I did the painting with pads (for Paul's sake)...

I now need a holiday...

I've Got Computer Problems Again...(No Alarms and No Surprise Here)

A quick update on the old blogging and website front...

Having a lot of problems with my pc at the moment and it seems to be doing everything again that happened before. I had to replace the Motherboard and lost a stick of memory in the process due to a resistor? blowing on the motherboard and rather like a suicide bomber it decided to splatter it's innards all over the memory with probably the thought of Computer Jihad.

So not much happening on the website and blogging front due to the damn thing deciding to shut down and restart every 10 minutes or so. I decided to send error reports to see if the default answer really was (A problem as occured and it could...well it mightbe...well really we are not sure what's wrong, but we've decided now that it could well be a driver error)....

But the latest response was it could be a RAM error or try turning the hardware acceleration down to nothing on your GeForce 5200 gfx card, and this could fix the error....

The search has now begun for another pc or laptop priced reasonably!

Which then begs the question....Can I justify a Laptop?. Where am I going to use the computer?. Do I need a Laptop when a desktop spec hugely outweighs a Laptops for the same price....

Aaaarrrgggghhhh!!!!!.......

If only life was as simple as the annoying advert Picture It says!!!!!

House Husband or Intergalactic Enemy of the Rebellion?

I was just having a look at how many views and ratings the Evel Knievel videos I put on had got and changing a few details on my youtube account and stumbled accross this little beauty of a series involving someone that some of us might know?

Chad Vader?

I'm sure like me it begs the question....
