I took Tom to see a new 'teen horror' film today (well, he is nearly 12) called 'The Hole 3D'. As you can probably guess, it was free, and offered from my favourite internet site seefilmfirst - who have renamed themselves showfilmfirst.I guess I should have realised what it was going to be like from the phrase 'teen horror'. I suspect anyone of my vintage (i.e. old) will be thinking of 'The

I've just returned from watching a preview of the new karate kid film. I was a big fan of the original films, and I didn't know what to expect from this - it's getting lots of hype because of the appearance of Will Smith's son Jaden Smith... hype is not always a good thing!This film really does live up to the hype though, and Jaden Smith is brilliant. Also on top form is Jackie Chan, as young

No - it's got nothing to do with drugs... I'm talking about the new movie 'How to train your Dragon' that I have just been to see, once again as a result of responding to a request from www.seefilmfirst.com.I'm nearly 40 (just 2 weeks to go!), so I'll be honest, I got tickets to see this mainly for my own kids, thinking they will absolutely love it. I got home and presented them with my spoils (

I've just got back from a preview screening of the new action movie 'Kick Ass', organised by those nice folks at www.seefilmfirst.com & www.tellten.co.uk.Surely, any film with 'Ass' in the title (as in backside, not donkey) was going to be good. It's got a scuba gear wearing hero, an 11 year old crime fighting girl in a purple wig, and Nicholas Cage as... well, as batman! what more could you want

Well - that was fun! (no, it really was fun!) I had a ticket for a preview of a movie called 500 days of Summer; a rom-com, which, mainly because it features Zooey Deschanel, I was really looking forward to seeing.Now, it's not uncommon for me to be rushing to get to these seefilmfirst showings, because they're always at 6:30 PM and my time-keeping is abysmal, but for once I was there in plenty

I've been playing with ruby (and rails) for about a day now, and I'm starting to really like it. It's even beginning to collide with work, found a really useful interface into MQ - which is the product I work on, RubyWMQ. It's incredibly easy to use - the following, for example, connects to a queue manager and puts a 'Hello world' message:require 'rubygems'require 'wmq/wmq' WMQ::

So, I thought I'd have a go at being all modern, I thought I'd try playing with Ruby and Rails, I'm following a book, and it looks like it ought to be really simple - it's not quite as simple as they say though, the book says that all I need to to is install Ruby then use ruby to install Rails, but actually to get something working you need to install Ruby, install Rails, Install the sqLite ruby

I've just finished reading a phriends (scratch that, I don't work with him any more) friends new blog, The Three States if Cypriot Cats. It's a series of musings on the ex-pat life in a small Village in Cyprus.It's well written, witty and well observed.

Big Brother is over - and, no surprise, Pete (aka Tourrettes boy) won it.Earlier I mentioned that I'd put bets on three of the housemates to win, Pete, Imogen and Glynn. I was hoping for Glynn to win it, purely and simply because I stood to make the most money out of him winning (£21). As it was, with Pete winning, I got £6, which is a measly £1 profit.Shame you couldn't bet each-way on Big

I've surprised myself, once again, at how my brain works. In short, it doesn't.I see an opportunity to watch a nice football game at the pub with a few friends, fine, great even. Because it's a special occasion, I agree with my wife that it's OK if I go out for a few beers after the game with my friends, just to catch the other matches, fine, great.So why is it that I went utterly mental?I can't

Am I a fetishist?I find shoulders attractive. A good pair of shoulders, to me, is probably better than a good pair of legs - so why is it that shoulders get such a bad rap?How many times have you heard someone say 'what a great pair of blades' ? I'll wager (uh-oh, gambling is back) that the answer is never. On the other hand, how many times have you heard someone say they will 'shoulder the blame

There is nothing worse in this world than a man using women's words.I don't mean words about women, no, I mean words that have clearly been designed with ladies in mind. Words like tea-cake, smooch, and yummy.There really should be a ban on the use of these words, by men, in public places. We have a smoking ban, and, whilst I find the smell of someone else's smoke on my clothes mildly annoying, I

We booked with an undisclosed company since they are the only ones that cover the route we need, but, I could not believe the price difference between staying for less than or more than 5 days.The trip actually cost 205 pounds, but only because we are now traveling for less than 5 days, to travel back later, even

It was a glorious day yesterday, so, some phriends and I went out for a 'team meal'.I assured everyone that I would blog it. The thing is, right now, I'm feeling disinclined to write anything, in fact, I feel disinclined to sit up. I can't think of anything to tell you either, as per usual it's a bit of a blur. I did avoid buying a kebab, which is good. I didn't end up sleeping on Bournemouth

What precisely does 95 percent fat-free mean?You may think it means "This is a healthy product". In reality what it means is "We don't care about you, at all"You see, the phrase '95 percent fat-free' implies that the company took 95 percent of their product and, for our benefit, removed all of the fat from it. If they could do that, why didn't they go that extra yard and remove the fat from all

The disillusioned are the only ones who've realized it's an illusion.

It has been pointed out that I referred to a work colleague earlier as a friend. This was clearly wrong. As everyone knows, people you know through work are never proper friends.Friends are people you know through any other means - even people you only know online. Work colleagues are, at best, phriends.The definition of a phriend, 'A term used to describe a person with fake friend qualities; an

Oh no. It works, I had previously blogged about the possibility of adding the most recent whack stack entries to a page to generate additional traffic... And I'm ashamed to say, it works - To prove the point, here are the top few from the whack stack now.mariners afterschools (michael howard 7b)bronco xenotransplantations (michael howard 7b)fatness afterschools (michael howard 7b)doctorspeaks

I was thinking some more about googlewhacking. Specifically, if it would be possible to write a whack checking program to look at a URL and work out the whacks it contains. My theory is that many pages will contain at least one googlewhack and 'CheckWhack' would prove popular with web developers.A phriend worked out that for any number of words on a web page, n, there were n! / (n-2)! * 2!

I like libraries. The main thing I like about libraries is the fact that you get books from them for free. There is just one problem with books borrowed from a library and it's that, most likely, they have already been borrowed by other people.When you buy a book from a book shop, you know that it is pristine. Save, perhaps, from someone flicking through it in the shop, no-one else has opened

Some friends of mine are spending the weekend in Belgium, Antwerp to be specific, and it reminded me of an occasion that I would rather have forgetten - but that I thought might serve as a useful warning to others when visiting the country.Antwerp is a wonderful place, it has many good points. The main good point being the many bars that stay open all the time and stock lots of interesting and

Yesterday I went to see the launch of Royal Caribbean's cruise ship, the Freedom of the Seas. It's the world's largest cruise ship and to mark the occasion, there was a free fireworks display.The launch was at night (fireworks work best at night you see) so the ship, which is very impressive, was beautifully lit up. However, this beauty hides a dark secret, that apparently only I spotted.The

Warmtoe is one of my (odder) pseudonyms, and I still use it today whenever I'm posting in the Dreamcast homebrew community web sites and forums. For a while I owned a URL associated with this name, specifically http://www.warmtoe.com - but now it contains some company's default parking page.I wonder how many URLs these places hang on to - millions I shouldn't wonder. Is it possible, I wonder to

I don't know if you are familiar with the concept of Googlewhacking - the art of finding a single hit on google for any 2 valid words, but, it occurred to me, that if you look at the whack-stack, which is a listing of the latest, current google whacks and include them in your web page, 2 things would happen.The googlewhack would become immediately invalid (well, if google ever looked at your page

The British Queen is 80 - and there are no signs of her abdicating - but then, why would she bother? I mean, it's not like she's got a real job, is it, meeting people, going on 'state trips' (holidays) appearing on TV once a year, it's kind of a dream job.The problem is, the example that she is setting and the fact that people in power will use the example she is setting to demonstrate to

I think my fingers are trying to tell me something.So, I'm working at my computer, trying to find a file on my hard disk. Unlike the youth of today, who would launch explorer and click on a button, I like to do this the old fashioned way, command prompt, directory listing etc etc.For the uninitiated, the way one gets a directory listing (a list of files in a given folder) is to type in the DOS

Why is it that people retire to 'the countryside'?It is truly beyond me - let us examine the facts - You retire when you get older (and given the way the British government is going, I mean older). As you get older, you get increasingly infirm. As you get increasingly infirm, you are going to have an increasing reliance on other people. In 'the countryside' there are decreasing numbers of people
