Having overslept yesterday due to my phones bluetooth going bananas whilst I slept and flattening the battery I didn't wake till 2pm
cos no battery means no alarm clock, ahem :)

Going to work this morning I was sure that was it for the contract, but no, instead of a ticking off it was laughs all round and would I like another 4 months !! :-0 which was nice.

Anyway better go, plane to catch and all...have a jolly weekend peeps....

Got to work this morning and was told to bugger off to the Hub for 4 days.

Deep Joy.

Mac stuff

moved to here lest Steve get annoyed with me filling his blog with Mac newbie crap :)

What is genius is the magnetically attached power charging lead. All they need do now is remove the wire and it'd be perfect ;-p

You can't get a seat
David Crowson [Blogs::Dave] 19:17 20/11/06 | Comments: 1
in any of the coffeeshops at the moment, due to the fact they're stuffed full of tourists visitng for this years Cannabis Cup

I never thought I'd see the day I cursed the Cup, but when you can't get a sit down in your favourite establishment for a bit of after work de stressing, it takes the biscuit :):)

Still, at least the entry strains are out and available and fresher than a very fresh thing that thinks it's quite fresh.

'Martian Mean Green' and 'Chocolopa' from the GA, possibly this years winners ? .... I think so.

Strange turn of phrase
David Crowson [Blogs::Dave] 13:48 20/11/06
I was reading this article about this bit of land

when the phrase "a dubious and by now assassinated estate agent" leap out of the page at me.

Donīt they know, or are they just wishful ? :)

On the way through Heathrow I got bored , so I stumped up and bought myself an 8Gb Nano (was almost tempted to get a Shuffle, sooo damned sexy and small).

Itīs very black and wafer-thin, almost edible in itīs after-eightness....

Oh, and my Sony Vaio screen went pop again, so Iīve replaced it with another Vaio, I was soooo close to getting a MacBook Pro...but the price was too much.

Wannabe a Music Mogul ?

Sisyphean task
David Crowson [Blogs::Dave] 14:14 31/10/06
Why am I always asked to do these absurdities.....

Iīve been asked to limit access to application data by the DBAīs (
which is exactly what the new Oracle Vault product does, but if youīre not running V10....weīre on 9:)

Itīs like being asked to make root, well, less rooty :)

Sometimes I wish Iīd gone the architect route....

at Heathrow sucks, the waiting for hours before you get to it , I mean.

So I have decided to circumvent the whole mess by paying 119 Euros to become a member of Privium

Off to Schiphol now to get my Iris scanned, ooo-eeer Missus :)
