It’s too hot here! 🙁
I’ve been at my desk for half an hour and it’s already 87.6F or 30.9C.
Too too hot! 🙁 🙁 🙁
Update 12 noon: It reached 88.4F but is now down to 85.8F. Still too hot!
Update 4:30PM: It’s back up to 87.3F (30.7C). Too, too hot!🙁
Great Music Site
I just found a really great music site: Epitonic. They have free samples and tracks of great music from all sorts of genres available for download or streaming. Including whole albums. It’s all good stuff, selected by their various editors. Everything from rock to electronic, hip hop to 20th century composers.
They also have ‘Music Genre Walkthroughs’, short streamed pieces explaining something about a particular genre. Can’t quite get your head around the difference between Techno and Trance? These will at least give you an idea and point you in the right direction to find out more.
They have message boards too, which mostly seem to be new artists and DJs promoting their new stuff (at least in the dance sections).
Go visit the site and sample some of the songs. Recommended! 🙂
Start ’em young
This evening I also helped Thom, my grandson, get set up with a Blogger! account hosted on Blog*Spot. It all went pretty smoothly. It’s pretty easy to use for the non-technical person and Thom is ten years old.
He also wanted to have pictures in his blog but Blog*Spot don’t allow that. So we also set up a 50MB Tripod account. So now he can upload pictures to his tripod account and reference them on his blog. Cool!
I think he’ll also end up learning some HTML and doing some pages on his tripod account too.
A good evening.
Just got back from a pleasant evening round at Graham and Jackie’s.
Les and Stacia were there too. Barbecue for tea and sitting around chatting on the patio. Lovely!
Graham and the kids are sleeping out in the tent pitched in the garden tonight. We’ll see if they last the night 😉
Report Day
Jamie got her school report today. Excellent as usual! Her reading age is 11.8; that’s 11 years eight months and she’s still only seven! She did well in all her other subjects too.
Graham and Jackie came round tonight too. Their kids, Thom and Bekki have done very well in their reports too.
Another picture of Jackie. Getting famous! 🙂
IE problem (sort of) fixed
Woo Hoo! I’ve fixed the Internet Explorer problem. I made the background-color of the header style transparent. At least you can see the little guy in IE now. IE still gets the positioning wrong though! 🙁

BlogAmp
I’ve just installed BlogAmp which posts to my journal the last 10 songs I listened to in WinAmp. You can see the list in the right hand column.
I’ll see how it goes. I don’t normally use WinAmp for listening to CDs, instead I use Notify CD Player which displays the title of the current track in the title bar of the current window.
