talking about wood, if you ever want to know the wrong way to lay a gluless laminate floor then I'm your man.
Do not lay the hallway , the first bedroom , finsh them off and refill the 1st bedroom with all the meaterials for the rest of the house and the furniture from the other rooms only to realise that in order for the living room to look neat and line up the planks need to be 6mm further over....now doing it all over from scratch for the 3rd time :-/
Still, it's a learning process and all good fun in a Tim Allen stylee...power tools ugh ugh ;-p

After watching it last night (bloody excellent it was too) I can't seem to get these lyrics out of my head.....if you see the film you'll know why.......
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
a little afternoon delight.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Repeat chorus.
Mad eh :)

Apparently a Dutch student , Geert-Jan Uytdewilligen, has come up with an equation that determines the roots of any polynomial equation, thus conflicting with Abel's Proof
(Although an exact solution has been proven impossible for higher orders, this is not the case for numeric solutions)
The formula can be found here
Neat.

I now have at my disposal 3 USB2 portable disk drives, two with 250Gb capacity each and one with 60Gb.....added to the ones I already have that makes a total of over a terabyte of capacity at my command (more than most of the companies I've worked for:)
that's a fair way distant from the ZX80 (that I still own, that had no disk capacity, wouldn't load off tape and had 1Kb of RAM, as opposed to the 2Gb of RAM in my current server) ..it's been a long time coming........

There I was pfaffing around getting shoutcast to work from a secondserver when i noticed that playback on the machine with the 5.1 surround sound only works properly with ITunes but not with Winamp, which is a shame as Itunes has no shoutcast plugin.

truly rocks my world.
It's a visualisation plug-in for winamp5 (comes with it) and it gives a windowed or full screen funky screen saver........big deal I hear you say, but what is truly magnificent is that you can set the funky moving display as your desktop.
Right on.
(especially on a quick machine where it doesn't suck up all the performance :)

There I was, pootling along the road that runs along the Thames past Shepperton on the way to work yesterday, it was sunny with clouds.
One cloud shadow started to overtake me ;a strange effect as the shadow moves away from the front of the vehicle.
I gave chase, the cloud was doing 45mph, and if there was such a thing as a cloud gatso, it would have got a ticket :)
