Random burblings since 1999
Went to see Intolerable Cruelty. Two words. Cary Grant.
Clooney was excellent, and holds the move together, the rest of the cast are OK, but Zeta-Jones never really convinces enough. Script-wise it was excellent with some wonderful lines lost amongst some mediocre performances. More >>
OK, it’s not long past my birthday, but hey, I had nothing to do with the timing of that…
On to Xmas then and I’m delighted that the Innovations Catalogue has returned. It nicely fills the niche between I want one of those and my desire for a Ferrari. The only real problem is what NOT to want!
A couple of people prompted me to revise my opinion of iTunes, so I installed on my laptop (at work) which only has a dozen or so albums on it.
OK, so aside from the “ohhh let me re-organize your files” fascination (is this official a bug yet?), I guess it’s pretty smart. A couple of extra features and I’d be sold, in fact, I may already be sold as it hooks up nicely with the iPod, allowing the track rating to be transferred to and fro, meaning even better smartlists.
As has been pointed out elsewhere (an excellent sumary by the way), I think my initial reaction is down to ‘PC control syndrome’. I’m anal enough about keeping my filesystem neat and tidy, and especially so when it comes to ID3 tags in my MP3s, so I’m guessing it shouldn’t be too bad to let iTunes control the folder structure…. maybe….
Or maybe I should buy a Mac. I’ve actually been seriously considering this for home use (not in the near future but next ‘upgrade’ time). I use my home PC for internet access, email, website stuff, a few games and the like, nothing ties me to the PC world particularly… and I DO like the design… hmmmmm
OK, I’m a referrer log whore, bite me.
Sifting through the referrer logs I came across the usual request (it features every week and I know I don’t help as I keep mentioning the request itself):
Google Search: Kylie’s Bum pics.
What IS weird is the 3rd result (currently).
Oi Gert – what you up to!
Dear everyone with a white background on their website,
Are you sure it’s white? Have you actually specified in a stylesheet or in the body tag that it should be white? Or does it just look white to you because you are using Internet Explorer’s default settings.
To check, in IE:
1. Go to Tools > Internet Options.
2. Click Colors…
3. If it is selected, deselect “Use Windows colors”.
4. Click OK, and then OK again.
5. Load or refresh your site in the browser.

I’m posting this because I’ve recently changed those settings and a few sites I’ve stumbled across suffered from the “think they are white” problem. If I’ve left a comment on your site to that effect, this is what I was talking about.
