I just checked out one of my favourite websites Last.FM and found there has been quite an overhaul in the software. If you have never heard of last.fm then the idea is very simple, it simply records what you are playing on your music player of choice (Windows Media, iTunes, Winamp etc) and up loads the tracklist to their website and compiles a personal chart for you. In addition it will make recommendations to you and you can talk to thousands of other users who share the same musical tastes.



The new version of the site is superb, with a database and photo gallery of litterally hundreds of thousands of musicians and a completely overhauled s/ware engine that gives you a desktop program that displays current track being played, biography of the act, similar artists and a direct link to Amazon.com where you can buy featured artists. Check it out it's a quality program and in memory terms it's tiny and very 56k friendly.



Here is what it looks like on my desktop:

I'll be adding a link over there >>>

Anyone who knows me knows I am a big fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. So it's no surprise that I recommend everyone to see the Sky One adaptation Hogfather. Honestly it's the best christmas movie made in a LONG time and is watchable by any age. The sheer quality of the actors alone makes it worth watching but when you marry that talent to the writing of Pratchett you have an unmissable experience.

David Jason, Ian Richardson, Mark Warren, Joss Ackland and David Warner lead a brilliant cast in a film I cant wait to own on DVD. I defy anyone to not laugh when Death says "Apple Sauce". Highlight of the Xmas season for me.
Find it, watch it, love it!
Head on over to the official SkyOne site for more details including videos and podcasts here: http://www.skyone.co.uk/hogfather/

An open letter to Motorola:

Dear sir,
I am writing to let you know that the RAZR V3x, is an incredible piece of hardware. Honestly the video playback is execptional and the sound quality is more than adequate for my current needs. Memory access is very swift with the microSD format and the screen is both bright and sharp.
Oh one other thing... I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT A NIGHTMARE THIS PHONE IS TO TEXT ON!!!!! iTAP my ARSE!!! The phone doesn't even know the word MARTIN! One of the most common names in the English language and it doesn't know it. This wouldn't be a problem if the standard text entry was intuitive but it's not. Who designed the software a Monkey high on caffine and nicotine?
I would like to offer my phone to you as long as you insert it up your backside... flip open!
Kindest regards,
Delixe
