Very well done stop motion video
flickr goes all festive

Easily done too! You can only do it to your own photos though…which is probably a good idea otherwise 90% of the photos would have hats (and beards if you like!) before Christmas
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
by DB on Dec.10, 2008, under Movies, Ramblings
Just got back from seeing the remake of TDtESS…it’s not terrible, but it certainly doesn’t match the original in terms of impact. I’d say it’s worth going to see anyway, it’s well made, with good performances and effects. Spoilers follow (for both movies) if you click on to read more.

Really is quite a pretty place
I just wish I got to stay in some of these places instead of just turning around and flying back, I’ll visit some day I’m sure…
The important things
by DB on Dec.08, 2008, under Ramblings
This is the sort of thing that happens when I have too much time off. This should be reason alone to keep a lot of routes going, just so I have to go to work and can’t do stupid things…
Last week, I was quite annoyed when I realised that all of my Twiglets were shorter…I remembered eating longer Twiglets when I was small…was this because of the credit crunch? Were Twiglet supplies dwindling resulting in smaller, more compact Twiglets?? I had to know…so off went an email to Jacobs (see, I should be working instead of doing things like this)
Today, I received my reply:
Thank you for your enquiry, are you referring to the drum/caddy of Twiglets? If so, we know they are manufactured in a smaller size to enable the machine to fill the caddy/drum, the longer Twiglets get stuck. The packets contain the longer length Twiglets.
So there we go, long Twiglets still exist, but in bag form only, this is still good news though. I hope this puts your mind at rest…now go buy Twiglets.
Now…what other ‘important issues’ do people have on their mind?

Just a little something I put together…
Get Songbird!

The open source music player has finally reached 1.0 and I must say it’s looking good. I’ll be using it as soon as they implement the iPod Touch support though ![]()
Pictures of Glasgow
by DB on Dec.05, 2008, under Photographs
I spent the day wandering Glasgow with my camera…yes, going to all the ‘Clichéd Glasgow Photo Locations’ as this very photo below has since been described, but oh well, I enjoyed it and like a lot of the pictures I managed to get.
Clicky on the picture to see some more…
The more things change, the more they stay the same

It’s update the website time again!
That means that with any luck I might post some things again. Or maybe not, we’ll see…
