Gnomon's Taxi Service
6 Days Ago
Wednesday is my day off work. Yesterday being a miserable wet day, the other members of my family all wanted me to provide them with lifts to and from their various tasks - only fair as I had a day off.
So I went on nine separate journeys, out and back, from the house - six driving people to the tram, two to the school and one to the music school. I reckon I spent three hours driving and another 45 minutes sitting in the car waiting.

Doctor Who Trailer
Last Week
The trailer for the next Doctor Who Special (15 Nov) is up on the Doctor Who website. But I can't watch it because I'm not in the UK, even though I pay my TV company to receive BBC, and the BBC gets at least some part of that fee.

Rudeness
Last Week
Is rudeness excused when what I say is true?
I think not. I think I'll go and take a sabbatical from h2g2, and hide my head in shame.
Even though it is true.

Hallowe'en
Last Week
The last of the little    have gone now. The doorbell only rang about 6 times with 2 or 3 there each time. We had a nurse, a witch, Fireman Sam, and a number of ghoulish creatures. We gave them a fair selection of marshmallows, sweets and nuts.
My skeleton in the porch still impresses the little ones as he has done for ten or possibly twenty years (he's full size, anatomically perfect and made of cardboard).
We missed Hallowe'en for the last two years by being away, so my own girls are three years older now. For the first time, they didn't dress up and go round looking for nuts.

Squeezebox
2 Weeks Ago
I just got a new gizmo. It's called a Squeezebox. It's a music player. It hasn't any music inside it, but links in through the Wireless Network to my PC. There's a small program installed on the PC which scans the PC and finds all the music stored on it. This can then be played on the Squeezebox no matter where in the house it is. It can also play Internet Radio channels, of which there are thousands.
It was all very easy to set up - all the software worked first time!
The only drawback is that the PC has to be turned on and logged in.
