Sprinkler Hose

Got a 15m Sprinkler Hose from Gardena. For the strawberries primarily. Damn expensive sprinkler system, whether they be from Hozelock or Gardena but well worth it compared to watering “by hand.” Plus the spray is very gentle and doesn’t damage or knock down the plants like a Shower/Spray Gun might. Don’t know why Gardena has [...]

Feed Congestion

Had to disable the Last.fm feed temporarily. Something is definitely wrong with the way Nucleus fetches data from plugins. Especially plugins that are designed to process data feeds from external sources. Perhaps something times out before the plugin has done its thing.

The updated Iriver [...]

Plans

Guess what, I don’t have any. Now there’s a real shocker. Unless something falls from the sky, I’ll spend the next two or three months doing nothing whatsoever. And I’m already climbing the walls.

ReGenesis Season Two

The second season of ReGenesis just wrapped up. One ought to say something about it since I have thoroughly enjoyed it and consider it to be one of the best shows on TV at the moment. First and foremost I enjoyed the outright conspiracies of season two. On top of the usual twists and clever [...]
