A friend of mine at work found this on MS’s new site.

I wonder where the QA people were at that time when this image was submitted?

Funny and dark nonetheless.

Sennheiser HD280proI’ve been looking for a really good pair of headphones for a while now. I used to have a pair of Sony ones that generated an amazing treble and pretty rocking bass. The mid-range wasn’t amazing, but didn’t let the headphones down.

A friend at work let me listen to his 3 year old Sennheiser HD280pro, and I was blown away by two things. The sound quality was unreal, and the noise leak in or out was almost zero.

They look quite huge, and not the prettiest of headphones. But that’s not why I bought them. I’m mostly going to be using them at home, or at my desk at work. Not the kind of headsets you’d want to use on the tube, though the friend at work wears them over his hat, in the tube.

UPDATE: So I just purchased the Sennheiser HD280pro. Lets see how long they take to arrive.

Pretty good short anim. Funny enough it’s suppose to be happening on some Greek island, which looks very similar to where I wanted to go for my honeymoon. I think its called Santorini Island.

I found this today and I’m sure it’s been around for donkey’s years. But it’s nice timing with the release of “The Force Unleashed“, which I am VERY looking forward too.


More updates soon. I’ve been rather fucking slack since I’ve got married. I WILL pull my socks up and add more posts.

So I bought an iPhone and am using it right now to blog while laying I’m bed. Sad I know, but easy and relaxing.

Actually using a Word Press app
to connect to my blog. It’s somewhat of a no frils app, but seems to do what it needs to do, and I’ve become quite good at typing on the iPhone.

I don’t have a lot to complains about the iPhone, except the über shite battery life and the lack of decent Bluetooth support. Besides that, I love every thing else about it.

I am sure when they add copy an paste in the new update it will be even cooler. Not forgetting the turn by turn GPS, which will allow for such apps like TomTom, as right now the GPS is not much help except to tell you where you are right now on the google map or emailing your current location to a friend or twitted. Allbeit useful some times. It would work great in an emergency.

I’ll write more later about the iPhone and bedroom blogging. For now I bid you good night.

So it’s been a couple of weeks without any updates, thanks to my previous hosting company, who shall remain nameless “cough Dreamhost cough”.

It took them two weeks to restore my files from some remote servers, so I was told. But for fucks sake, you’re suppose to be a professional hosting company and not a tinpot 50p host. HOW ABOUT BACKUPS? … Arseholes.

Anyway, I’ve moved my files and all my domains to a new fast and much cheaper company, who offers unlimited bandwidth and disk space. They’re called Hostmonster and so far, I am pretty pleases. Dreamhost was slowing down every day, it would take so long to get to my pages. And I know if it was me browsing someones site at that speed, I’d move on.

To cut a long story short, I’m still updating all the files and as you can see, I’ve not moved my skins over to the new WP update. This weekend, I’m hoping to do everything and bring it back to normality. Also notice photoblog isn’t working.

Check back in a few days (all 4 of you that look at my blogs ;)

On the last night of my month stay in Australia, I took some timelapse shots, which I put together recently as a video and uploaded to Vimeo. I think they were taken from midnight to 6 am.
