Well, the wait is finally over. Me and the other two people left on the planet who actually wait for shows to air on a TV station can now enjoy the Big Bang Theory’s new season! YAY!
That’s right, I’m finally catching up with everyone who downloaded them all months ago! If you’d care to join me in enjoying the GREATEST SHOW EVER! then please do tune in at 21:00, E4 on Thursdays for series three. If you haven’t seen the other two, get the boxed sets/download them etc. They’re brilliant!
Um…. I guess that’s it. Gimme a break, I’m ill! 🙂

Well I’ve had a week from hell at work but at least I’ve been able to play with my little Revo thingy which is still knocking my socks off with what its letting me get away with.
Windows 7 is now on it and apart from a log in time issue (very, very slight and feels faster than it was in Vista), I’m still ridiculously happy with the purchase I made. I think this little thing’s dropped in price since I bought it so its now in total bananas territory price wise. If you can spare a couple of hundred, get an R3600. That’s all I can say!
OK, so Windows 7 on a TV. Bit weird not having any proper surface to run my mouse over (I really miss that!) but that’s my setup here in the ivory tower. The features available are pretty good and the OS seems stable enough even on the Revo’s limited shoulders. I think its the upgrade it was touted to be absolutely. Although I never really had that much of an issue with Vista, Windows 7 looks great and seems slightly easier to use. Maybe I’m just dreaming it because its a new OS. Who knows.
On to another rather interesting development, EVE. The game’s been around for ages now and I knew I’d end up playing it at some point but I had no idea how soon it was going to turn out. As an experiment, I went to www.eveonline.com and downloaded a copy of the game (2 or 3 HOURS!!). The plan was to throw it onto the net top and giggle at the juddering frame rates. I stand corrected. It runs perfectly on the Revo without a single freeze or problem at all. That extra graphics power obviously came in handy. I wouldn’t want to try running it on a net book.
Its a bit confusing but I’ve only been playing the game about an hour so far so you can expect a learning curve. I’ll need to talk to my buddies about how you play it properly, I can’t seem to fly the ship straight!!

Browsing through WordPress.tv today, I found this little video describing the new WordPress for iphone 2.0 app. The arguments against iphones in my life are starting to look a little weak, I’ve looked and I can’t find anything like this for the Nokia I was looking at. Presumably it would work on an ipod touch if I really wanted…

Windows 7 will soon be with me I’m told reassuringly by an email from Asus. As soon as it becomes available seems to be rather an elastic phrase!
Having read and listened to many expert opinions on Windows 7, I have to admit that I’m rather looking forward to getting my mitts on a copy….. If only they’d send me it….. 🙁
Hi there and thanks for calling by. Please feel free to have a rummage through the posts here. I'm hoping you'll find some informative or at least entertaining!
