Gave blood today and didn’t faint! 🙂
Watching Murder One
Yay, my Murder One DVD arrived on Monday, I have since converted the first 16 episodes to MPG, and of those 8 to an AVI format that is suitable for my phone.
I’ve so far watched the first 4, whilst travelling on the train to and from work and the show is better than I could remember.
Using my new headphones, and that massive adapter, the sound quality is great and loud enough to be heard over a rattling train.
Oldham reveal stadium plan
Oh dear, how are we going to afford this? The current Boundary Park is only half finished, and only last season we were in administration. 19th in Leauge 1, isn’t the best moment to announce spending £20 million.
More Number Plate Spotting
Having got stuck on 17 for a few days, I was getting rather worried that I might not find one. Other plates were mocking me. I saw two number 20’s passing each other, an 18 in the Sainsburys car park, a 19 on the route home.
Then walking back to Westminster Tube, I saw a several 18, all teasing me, but just as I crossed the lights at Bridge Street, then I saw it, the 17 I was looking for. I almost missed it, because the checky devils had arranged it like H1 7ABC (letters have been changed), then as I looked across the road, one of the 18’s went passed me again, but this time I could count it. Two in two seconds, I was back on track. Then on the way home I tried my luck with the 19 I had seen parked up on someones driveway. And yes, it was there too. 3 in one hour!
After my slow start, I getting my plates/day ratio towards the 1 mark.
Finally, after being a bit bored today, I played about with my graph script and have now created this one:
More site tweaks
I’ve made some small changes to the layout of my blog, most aren’t that obvious but I’ve styled the book covers on my rubbish book reviews, moved the style sheet into it’s own file and tidied up some bad CSS that I had written that Firefox found, but which Internet Explorer ignored.
I’ve also created a Javascript/mySQL/php/.htaccess RSS Newsfeed sidebar function. (See right at the bottom of the sidebar, BBC News). Beta Tester are welcome to try it on their blogs. Please leave a comment, and I’ll contact you about knocking up some code.
A Faint Cold Fear
Whilst it was a run of the mill thriller, I did want to keep on reading it. Has some gruesome narratives, but overall not too bad.

End of Blog Hopping
A couple of weeks ago I posted this about Blog Hopping and the Blogger NavBar.
Due to some evil person forcing spyware on my computer, i’ve now stoped, and removed the NavBar.
Murder One
Whilst flicking through this months Empire Magazine, I saw an advert for Season One of Murder One, and instantly had to buy it.
Ok it doesn’t come out til Monday, but it is pre-ordered on Amazon for me 🙂 (only £29.99)
For those who never saw it (why not!), it’s a US Criminal Law show, featuring shock horror, only one case, which is finally solved at the end of 23 episodes.
Unfortunatly for us in the UK, the Americans just didn’t get it, and whilst they did make a Season 2 they dropped the people in the cast.
Can’t wait to rip the DVD, convert the episodes into P800 friendly format, and watch the episodes each day on the train to work.
CNPS
I have now created my CNPS tracker site.
In theory it is possible to let other people use my server/db to create their own tracker page.
If you would like one, beg nicely.
I’ve also added a small tracker to the sidebar, so you can check my progress.
Only to go…
Gmail
I have some spare invites for Gmail accounts.
If you want one email me at ryancullen@, well you can guess the rest (no, not hotmail.com!)
