Some things I agree with
(or not as the case may be)

EFF: No Broadcast Flag No Watermarks

Saturday, September 9
To quote Wayne,

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.


Sorry about the lack of updates, I'm currently somewhat busy (busier than I thought I'd be!) sorting out moving my stuff back up to Birmingham, dealing with my car insurance company (a woman drove into my car and wrote it off, more on that - with pics - in the near future), sorting out my tax for the work I've been doing over the summer and trying to claim back the tax I was wrongly taxed back from when I was working over last Christmas... Way more things than I thought I'd be sorting out right now.


Also, somewhat cruelly I think, as the 200th episode of Stargate SG-1 aired in America, Sci Fi announced that after the current run of episodes has finished, they won't be renewing for another series. Ok, so it's done ten series, but the focal show of franchise is far from done! So, help save Stargate SG-1.

Steve IrwinThe web (and particularly the blogosphere) noted the passing of Steve Irwin, croc hunter extraordinaire... I also read that his wishes were that were he ever to become troubled and/or in a situation where his life was at risk, and he was being filmed at the time, he stated that he wanted the camera crew to keep on filming. As he was filming some footage for a nature show his daughter was presenting at the time when he was killed by the stingray barb, I believe that it was all caught on camera - so expect the somewhat morbid 'Discovery Animal Planet Special: Death Of The Crocodile' episode within the next year. My sister told me that after he died, Discovery basically cleared their schedules on Animal Planet and just showed old Croc Hunter episodes all day, which is kinda nice (and a shame I missed them).

I was also told today that one of my fellow students from sixth form, Nicole, died yesterday. She'd suffered from cancer in the past, had had loads of chemo, but had recovered to the point where she'd completed her A Levels... Although I didn't speak to her much, it's always sad to hear that someone your age has died. This is the second time in as many schools where someone from my year has died suddenly (a girl called Grace Sadler died back in November 2001, and my home page was black for a very long time afterwards), and now another person my age is dead... Way to put a downer on what should have been a good day (it was payday, rewarded for another month of 6am starts) - makes you feel like it's not really worth it when things like this happen.


More updates coming soon, I just don't feel in the mood to write more at length right now. Happy webbing...
