Leafy South Yorkshire Originally uploaded by Last Human Gateway Today I looked out and thought, yes… Autumn is arriving. It’s now getting quite chilly at night and the leaves are turning brown and falling. Oh yes, my favourite time of year.

Why does Shozu not work with O2 PAYG? Apparently, they block some outgoing ports, one of which Shozu uses… I will research more, but basically I have a K850i and I have to use a PC or a Pocket PC to send my pictures straight to the web. Nice. Well thought out.

The Tyketto tour laminate. Originally uploaded by Last Human Gateway I’ve had a bit of a reminisce today, playing the old Deadline “Mind the Step” CD. It dates from the time when I really enjoyed that particular band before it became “business” and when it was still fun. I must say that Only You andContinue reading “Reminiscing.”

I now have an Acer One to replace the EeePC (although I’ve been offered the choice of which to keep).

I’ve just taken Hannah to hospital. Just so you know. I’ve also re-connected the link between by Blogger blog and LJ by popular demand… and I thought no-one read this!

It seems the Norwegians absolutely love Crimes of Passion, which sorta makes me proud… I’ve had a really in-depth chat with a guy on Facebook who loves the album. Little known facts about the album… 1. Recording started on December 27th 2006 and finished in August 2007… yes it really did take 8 months toContinue reading “More Norway contacts…”

1. My fookin’ laptop is dead. Kaputt. Broken. The keyboard has died and keeps randomly pressing random keys on the top two rows, and the touchpad has gone bonkers. The CD drive has been erratic for a while, oh and the back USB hasn’t worked in ages too. Thankfully the EeePC is going strong asContinue reading “3 bits of news… and FREE MP3”

http://youtube.com/v/bd0WhebWTnk Firstly I bought Ocean Colour Scene’s album Moseley Shoals last night for 2 quid… bargain! The last few days have been interesting on the COP front too… what with the break in (ok, so we had an attempted break in too…), then chatting with Steve Ellis (who recorded the album) and then Hannah chattingContinue reading “The skeletons are racking up in the closet…”

Another major change – the Classic Rock Society has now stopped using the Herringthorpe Leisure Centre for gigs. The reason is that the HLC has been given it’s final date and will close to the public on 5th October, with demolition to commence a few weeks later. Last nights gig was Magic Pie supported byContinue reading “All change”
