How Many Countries Can You Name in 5mins

This is a frustrating game. I’ve done it twice, and my best score on the 2nd time is 59… Dammit… Must frustrating part is when you can’t remember the spelling of the countries.

59

Give it a try if you got 5mins spare.

Something That Scares Me

I will be replacing the HDD in my Macbook Pro sometimes next week. The 160GB which Apple provided at the time was sufficient, but Western Digital now does a nice 320GB 2.5” HDD which I am after for the replacement.

Now This Is Weird!

I’d freak out if this happened around me. Probably run away screaming like a little girl too.

Happy 50th Birthday LEGO

Just thought I’d mention that today is LEGOs 50th birthday. So many happy days and nights, for so many kids and adults.

I remember I used to spend hours building stuff from TV shows, by mixing many different boxes of LEGO together. Ah, happy days. I remember trying to build the FireFox plane from the movie, but as it turned out, I didn’t have enough (or any) black pieces, so it looked like someone had attacked it with yellow/blue and white paint bucket.

Still, many hours of fun.

Happy birthday to the only toy still worth buying.

Sunset at the Beach

So this is what I am doing while in the US of A. Hard life!

Experiment #235

Something I found earlier, and thought I’d try.

Overhauled!!

Upgrading to Leopard from Tiger was a bad idea. Upgrading OS’s is generally a bad idea. All the rubbish that you had with your previous OS comes with it. It’s like giving Brittany a facelift. She’s pretty now, but still messed up inside.

Cool Cat

I bought Leopard (OS X) on the 30th of October and as a test, installed it on the Mac Mini to see what it was like.

My first impressions were a mixture of ewww and wow. I’ll go into the reasons as you read on.

Rush Rush Rush

So here I am, sitting at Oslo airport terminal, waiting for my plane to arrive at the gate. I do love this airport. It’s so well designed and runs like clockwork.

A Bit of TV Show Rambling

I think I watch far too many shows. So much so, that just British TV isn’t enough for me. I download shows from US, espciallly things like Heroes, Dexter, Californication or Lost, to name a few.

Thanks for NOTHING, Subaru

Subaru, you BASTARDS!

You’ve ruined one of the most beautiful shapes of cars ever made. The Impreza was an awesome car, with mean looks and great power. Striking lighting blue, with gold wheels and an air vent on the front hood that could suck in a whale.

Current Desktop

So I thought I’d post a picture of my current desktop on display 1. The 2nd display was playing an episode of “John From Cincinnati”, which is a very strange series on HBO. Haven’t quite figured out whether I want to carry on watching it yet or not.
