Man U vs Rangers – fills me with dread when I think how this could end. The best I could hope for…..0-0. Reality will however bite at somepoint and Man U will win easily. Celtic tomorrow – 3-2….or they can look forward to EUFA Cup at best.

Grouphug
Feeling guilty? Is there a dark secret that your bursting to tell someone…anyone…but who? Or do you like laughing at other peoples misfortune and evil-doings. Grouphug.us is for you. Enjoy.

Just put my confession on – I feel so cleansed. Only another 20 or so to add…
The Glasgow Story
A new website has just been launched all about Glasgow called The Glasgow Story. The site is a collection of stories and pictures describing the history of Glasgow. Some of the content is excellent. Click here to see a picture of where I work, although its slightly more modern now (but not much).
Baby News
Lewis & Kim have just had a baby boy – proud parents can be see here. No name as yet but Kim & baby are healthy and on Friday Lewis was already knackered and the baby is only 2 days old. Congrats to them both – nice to have a bit of good news to post.
PC Upgrade part 2
The pc upgrade is complete and I finally got round to doing a backup. And it worked!! One outcome of the upgrade was how slow XP took to shutdown (startup was fine). A quick Google found a great XP tips site – shutdown is only around 15 seconds now.
Only annoyance is how noisy my processor fan is. A Zalman Flower would solve it, although a motherboard upgrade and a new chip is far more tempting. As well as the flower.
Matrix Revolutions
Really looking forward to seeing the final Matrix film (well final for now I guess). I picked up Reloaded on DVD last week – its only an average film but watching at home was more enjoyable than the cinema where it seemed to take an eternity before the film picked up any sort of pace.
Hopefully some nice plot twists will keep the last film enjoyable although thanks to me reading a massive spoiler in the papers (DOH! Why can’t plots be more clearly marked) some thinks just won’t be a surprise.
IDS out?
It’s not really fair having a laugh at the Tories – even with Labour as dire as they are they still can’t mount a credible opposition. But is seems IDS is on his way out after a leadership vote was called. I don’t think there’s been a poor opposition leader in recent times, although Foot and Kinnock weren�t too hot. I can’t see IDS hanging on but more depressing for British politics is I can’t see a worthy successor either. Labour for third term?!
PC Upgrade
Not posted for a while. The new disk for the pc arrived but as per usual the Windows re-install was far from smooth. XP has always worked fine but for some reason the install disk kept failing at certain files. Turns out the files were placeholders for future apps, but it was niggling all the same. Then some of my hardware wouldn’t work and the drivers, even though built into XP, wouldn’t install. Switch hard disks and the hardware was fine. Grrrrrrrrrr.
Had to mess big style with registry and also drop to safe mode and copy the drivers cab file over again. All pretty straight forward (except it took a couple of hours to get to this point) but if I was a novice I would be stuffed.
So 120gig drive works fine, and I gave into temptation and bought an external caddy for my old disk so that I have a good backup solution for the first time in years. Not that I’ve backed my data up yet…….
Anderlecht 1-0 Celtic
Disappointment for Celtic tonight. The game started fairly well for them too and you would have thought with Anderlecht going down to 10 men they would have won convincingly. But Anderlecht dominated the game and really showed how the game should be played.
Can only hope better for Rangers tomorrow.
iTunes Fix?
Hopefully a fix to the problem of skipping on the iPod will be with us soon – a dev on the Apple forum has admitted they are aware of the problem and will post an update.
