The router gave up the
ghost again this morning over brekkie. Perhaps I'm imagining things
but the thing did seem to be a little bit warm. Maybe it is on the
way out? Having said that my mobile seems to be hot a lot these days
and it's only a couple of months old.
As the pre-recorded
episode of "Family Guy" finished I saw that the UK
Gold channel was showing a televised version of the quiz show "Just
a Minute". Featuring Nicholas Parsons and Paul Merton "Just
a Minute" was hilarious as a radio show, but just
cringeworthy as a TV program. So many things work on the radio but
not on TV. Look at the Grumbleweeds for example. Well, don't look at
them. Listen to them. The radio show was really funny; the TV show
perhaps one of the worst programs ever made.
Off to work; as I drove I
listened to the radio. The pundits were interviewing the founder of
Wikipedia - apparently there are moves afoot to change the law
regarding how history
might be recorded on-line. There are concerns that major search
engines might have the power to censor history. There wasn't a word
of thanks about how these companies are recording it in the first
place though.
I did my bit at work, and
after a rather varied day I came home and met Stevey at the station.
From there we went to McDonalds where we met "er indoors TM".
McChicken McWrap was a couple of hundred calories less than a
McBurger, but was still enough to push me over the day's calorie
limit. Having eaten hardly anything today and still having eaten too
much it's not surprising that I've put on weight.
Astro club; for all that
we had a very disappointing turn-out we had a very good night. Loads
of things of interest in the news; I learned lots about spectroscopy,
I flogged raffle tickets. And I learned the difference between a
constellation and an asterism.
Personally I feel that a
chicken-eagle could easily have a camel-leopard in a fight, but
apparently the matter is still a topic of astonomical conjecture...
