Irony lost

Like Ban this filth but without the all knowing endemol irony, comes a page of what to watch what not to watch on US telly from the parents television council

Not only do they tell you what's really naughty telly, but they actually provide the clips as well (shakes head).

I can see it now at the weekly management meeting....
"Any other points"
"Uhh yeah, our internet site is becoming really popular we've had to spend $10,000 extra on bandwidth this month just to cover it."
"WOW - our message really must be getting through"
"Yeah I think so"
Rising to feet. "Thats great, America's children will be safer! Keep up the great work team!"
"Yeah, Woot!"
High fives all round.

Voodoo Doodoo

Simple, yet brilliant.

Zero

Found this with Jamies' one. Its slightly weird holding this in my hand. The plastics slightly yellowed but the writing is like it was written yesterday. I can only fit one finger into it. I have no concept that I was once a baby.

Things "Toby" is not - #1

A plan to destroy the earth

Counting

An interesting account of an extreme counter.

Can anyone explain why counting linearly to numbers above 30 makes me feel sick? It feels like my brain is short circuiting.

I'M NOT MAD - Well the voices tell me I'm not.

Confession

Forgive me father for I have sinned. Its been 5 years since my last confession.

I knew it would cause trouble and I knew I'd probably lose sleep over it but I brainwashed myself into thinking I needed it for work. Little did I know that the devils own hands were behind it all. Get thee behind me, XP.

I miss my innocent life where everything was simple and nothing went wrong (in black and white) I miss my PB100, my first love.

Eighteen

OK - I know, but it was part of a project on self portraits. What I can't remember is whether this was before or after the time where i platted my hair and superglued the ends to seal them. Hmmm. nice

Seventeen

I've raided the loft again. This beauty is from the first year at South Notts Art & Design. What a bunch of fockin freaks. KK, Kumud, Christian Caballero, me and that other guy who looks like Morten Harket but I can't remember the name of.

Down with the kids - part 2

Hilarious missive fom Microsoft. "Mistakes are often uncorrected"

Down with the kids

I got a new track for the kids this morning from iTMS.

Snoops latest number? No.
Killers? No.

I want to know what love is by Foreigner?!!? Yes.

Apparently its on some advert on cbbc. Anyway now my iTMS profile has got that I have a penchant for AOR. Help! This could get as bad as the TIVO thinking you're gay.

They'll pay for this when they get older. You wait until Im picking them up from a club. I'll do Meaghan's dad's trick - turn up in bare feet and my flies undone and enter the club making sure everyone knows who I'm looking for.

Mr Grown up?

I laughed out loud this morning when the story as on 5 Live about the missing plutonium at Sellafield.

Not funny you may say - well the report is based on the material unaccounted for figures.

The MUFF results. HAHA. Nicky Campbell picked up on it right away - and repeated it a couple of times for effect. Oh the humanity.

Secret project codenames

I've got a secret project - I just need an appropriate codename so I can refer to it on the blog.

There was "Ginger" for segway - which sounds like a cat, so I've decided to codename my project "Toby".

ipod est mort

I tried to fix my ipod screen on Saturday - and killed the whole thing instead.

The case is difficult to open - you have to go for it, you can't pussy foot around otherwise you'll never get it open, and you'll scratch up the case. I'll post instructions if i get time. Once you've got it open any fixes are pretty straight forward, apart from where I went badly wrong.

Anyway to cut a long story short, I changed the screen and it still didn't work. This meant that either I'd been sold a duff screen, or that the problem was with the signals sent to the lcd. Without another ipod I can't tell which is true.

Now, here comes the important bit. The metal half of the case containing the headphone socket is attached to the motherboard by the flimsiest of connectors. You can remove it but you have to be VERY CAREFUL other wise the headphone connector and the ribbon cable part company, never to be joined again.

I would suggest that if you change the battery or hard drive (both of which are a piece of piss once you've got the case open) then you do not try and take this connector out).

Its only if you are unscrewing the motherboard to get to the front that you should ever try and take it out.
