… We’ll get together then….

Well long time no real post, a few gig reviews which you can see just below this one but not much else. I have been busy running GridPP16, our collaborations most recent get together. It went really well and I eventually met my boss who lives in Australia and kept the entire 5 days running pretty smoothly despite the drilling and other out-of-my-hands issues. I had to give a talk at this one, it was only 15mins long so it was grand and there wasn’t many (read none) questions as I assume they were all asleep. I had to take one night off to see the Eels which I reviewed below but other than that it was a full time thing. There is a gallery here, you won’t see me in any cause I was taking the photos(well all but one try and find me).

Been watching The Doctor a lot recently and the last episode was brilliant pitting his two biggest enemies against each other and with him in the middle, saweet. To be continued next week 😀

I used to really love Thunderbirds when I was really young. I even almost considered thinking about maybe seeing the Thunderbirds film they released a few years ago but the I saw it had little or nothing to do with the puppets. Wait I digress anyway I never got into Stingray but you have to agree this is the best intro sequence for a TV show EVER:
Edit: Removed YouTube video as it was taken down, but I assure you track it down it is the greatest intro ever
Sorry about posting a YouTube video, they are usually for retards, but this was too good.

Wish I’d found this place: Scarlet Mist before now. It is a marketplace for spare tickets where only face value is allowed, it may come in handy in the future you never know.

So England are out of the World Cup, not a massive football fan but like to watch a good game and England never provided that in 5 matches so glad they’re gone now we may see a good game or two (even if there only 3 left including the 3rd place play-off after Italy beat Germany).

Some intersting news bits from The Guardian:
Pharming
and
A guy building his own cathedral for 45 years.

Check it out the new artwork for Miaden’s new album Matter Of Life And Death, nice.
