The conclusion to this article on basic Mac OS usage for switchers/adders, made me giggle:
“Mac OS X includes a basic set of installed applications as well. Most of those have equivalents in Windows and Linux. You have Mail for e-mail, Safari for web browsing, iTunes for music, and instead of Notepad, you have vi [...]
As we walked to The Townhouse in the pouring rain, all that I knew was the hole in my shoe was letting in water. That and that England fans were expecting to witness a ten-nil trouncing of Azerbaijan — after Poland stuffed them eight-nil.
We got there in time to rearrange the furniture. The brokenness [...]
Because of the bank holiday, we did games on Tuesday. Gary and I introduced Paul, MC and Debbie to Power Grid.
It came to a close finish between me and MC, with both of us managing to power 15 cities. I had been planning to win with 14, and had to buy an extra power [...]
Dave blogged a meme wherein someone listed three “albums to hear before you die”, and invited others to highlight the ones they’d heard, then add three more.

We’re home from Aberystwyth, and other than the printer thing, it’s been successful.
On Friday we drove there, buying an Indian Meal for Two in Newtown Safeway/Morrisons on the way. In the evening we watched The Bourne Identity, which was very good.

To pay my way, I thought I’d help out with a computing issue they had. They’ve bought a new printer, which is connected to the Win98 desktop upstairs. They want to [...]
Wooster reports some fresh mischief from Banksy. I enjoy Banksy’s stuff when we spot it on the South Bank.
The final piece — the Tesco value soup tin at MoMA — is best, because presumably New Yorkers have never heard of Tesco.
Eurogamer announced the tracklist for Singstar Popworld.
Commentworthy ones (i.e. the ones I’ve heard of):
* Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi - Good news. Should have been on the first one instead of “Complicated”
* Beyonce - Crazy in Love - Great song.. not sure anyone will be capable [...]
Saturday:
Finished last night’s pizza, for breakfast
Strolled into town
Had a nosey at the reopened Regent Hotel
Got some keys cut: now Steve has a spare set in case one of us locks ourselves out, and our guests can have a working set of their very own!
Had a nice coffee at Cafe Nero — I think their [...]
This man has a lot to answer for.
I feel ill.
