A brief guide on how to cock up an otherwise wonderful evening. First, try using the Showcase Cinemas website. It's not very nice to look at but it tells you what you need to know. Try booking tickets. If you get a 500 Server error, try phoning them. If they ask why you're not using the website, don't tell them it isn't working because they'll hang up. Try phoning again.

I get up to a lot. One weekend in three, I pop up to Henlow and go flying (when I say Henlow, I mean RAF Henlow, not Baron's house. His house is really cool but I think I'd be using hyperbole to suggest you could take off in it). The weekends I don't do that, chances are I'm going to end up driving to a family gathering.

[Denizens Only] I get all academic'd up for a day, meet up with Dr Hawkins of a famous company, drink whiskey, decide modern life is a template I'm bored of, eat Tapas, bitch about censorship, introduce StumbleUpon and some new Icar graphics. It's all in one blog post. Hopefully I'll do more.

You may be wondering what I'm doing up this late, well it's not insomnia or too much caffeine nor a badly set clock, I am in fact sitting some 6000 miles away from merry old England in Sunnyvale California.

I'm in a bit of a purchasing dilemma.

I want to get an Asus Eee PC for the world trip, as a media box, web access, that sort of thing. I have the money budgeted, but I have a problem. Well, more than one.

There are three four models of EeePC (more details):

AMD today launched their imaginatively named Radion 3870 X2, a week after their initial plan and a solid fortnight before I expected.

I picked up a game called Zack and Wiki - (some sub title I forget) for the Wii at the end of last week and it seems to me the best yet use of the Wii's capabilities to make a fun reasonably light game.

Poor Language Warning: Ok, Apple, you are a bunch of ridiculous bastards and it will take a lot more evidence for me to buy anything from you again. You're hopeless stupid and arbtrary and I hate the ground you walk on.
