    Well I wish there was more I could do but between trying to complete NaNoWriMo and other home type things there is very little time. When I do get a moment it is a cup of tea and a quick rest on the bed. And here is the proof, a comfortable position and a nice rest.

    We ran out of Coca-cola

    And so I needed to find a new mixer for the glass of vodka I had just poured. In the end I used the cooled bottle of Fanta Fruit Twist that was in the fridge, and it was very nice too.

    Of course the Vodka is for purely medicinal purposes while I am suffering from the worse case of man flu since the last one. Whilst suffering the plague I tend to watch TV, the path of least resistance et al.

    So I have reacquainted myself with Scrubs and later on, if I can’t sleep I’ll be watching F/X Murder By Illusion – I saw that years ago and thought it was good so I’ll ruin the memory by watching it again later.

    I may also watch the Mighty Boosch again so I can recite the dialogue when I actually watch it on Thursday… oh I wish I felt better.

    Check out the first episode on the BBC three website. Even, perhaps follow this link and it might just work.

    Spelling test

    This post currently has no comments.

    by Darren

    My spelling is not the best, you only need to read this blog to find that out, however I enjoy writing and so perhaps I shall improve over time. In the meantime, while I am writing I often need to check things out with those nearby, hence this conversation:

    ‘Is Charles Dance spelt D-A-N-S-E or D-A-N-C-E?’

    There is a laugh, at my expense, before the reply.

    ‘D-A-N-C-E’

    ‘Thanks, is Danse Macabre, spelt D-A-N-C-E or D-A-N-S-E?’

    Another laugh before,

    ‘D-A-N-S-E’

    ‘Thanks, is Strictly Come Dancing crap?’

    Somethings don’t need an answer.

    Some issues with the BT Home Hub

    This post currently has no comments.

    by Darren

    I thought this may help one or two people and save a bit of time.

    • To get our Home Hub working wirelessly we had to change the channel it was using from 1 to 11
    • Sometimes Internet Explorer won’t allow you to enter your password for the Home Hub, for some reason IE7 isn’t very compatible with it. Use Firefox… as you should be anyway
    • Make sure you are always able to connect to your Home Hub via the Ethernet port in order to fix things
    • The BT engineers are very helpful and friendly and patient

    If you have any issues, leave a comment and I may be able to help
