So will the database they want just make it easier for them to do what they
already do. Half a million requests eh that's a lot of data. Is a request
to check out one email account or everything done thro an ISP or what.

Can't believe how much I'm following this this year. We watch the C4 show
each night and I even check it on Digital Spy. Last year we hardly watched
it at all. There seems to be more interesting personalities this year.
People that have a bit more depth to them. Now I definately don't include
Bex in that. Do you think she saw Catherine Tate once and used it as a blue
print for life.

Yes I often wonder if Jimmy Carr is LLoyd Coles Secret love child. I think
there is a family resemblance there.

Film4 last night had Apocalypse Now on. Love that film but when did it end
1.35am. Now that's a bit bloody late for me. Wonder if its on earlier later
in the week like ITV2 does.

We have a trellis arch at our front door. It is made of thin wood so no one
can climb it, it won't support a persons weight and would break. So since
Wotsit our cat got herself banned from the bedroom for waking me early
hours it has surprised us to hear her meowing at night. She has started to
climb the arch and try and get in our bedroom window. The arch is about 8
to 10 feet high and she trys to jump onto the window ledge.
Now we have to decide does she get back in the bedroom or do we build a
little cat ladder to help her in the window.

Debs went to bed earlier than me last night. I ended up watching Apocalypse
Now to 12.40 am and then went up. While lying writting this I was looking
at the moon and have gotten distracted in thought.
Its amazing that a lump of rock can reflect so much light that it looks
like its shinning its self. I always think that the moon is the key to why
there is life on Earth. The size and its distance if different to
what it is would have given a totally different outcome for this planet.
You can only wonder at those who worshipped it, how right they got it.And
those that worshipped the Sun, the giver of light and energy, the Moon of
tides and defender from total darkness at night, Water to quench our and
the lands thirst and Mother Earth, who gives food for all living things.
Yes the old Pagans may have got it more spot on than any religion that has
ever come since.

Any one here have any expirience of doing this with homegrown plants. Read
a bit on the web but would like it firsthand.

Gerry at Fellowes has just emaul to say he's sticking that connector in the
post today. Thanks Gerry what service. Remember this is for a product they
discontinued years ago.

I have put a bid on an Orange SPV C550 on Ebay this weekend. I feel the
need to get something and I have never dabbled in Windows Mobile. I thought
this could be a start with a phone device rather than a more PDA
touchscreen one. The other thing is that they go quite cheap. I have read
about Win Mob on other sites and how others have faired with them but I
just need a try myself. Folk that have read this blog for a while will know
this is something I return to from now and again.

Yesterday I email support at Fellowes to help in sourcing an adapter for
the keyboard I use on the Visor. To my surprise Gerry emailed me saying the
had some but they were unsure if it was compatible with the M130 or Zire
71. He said the could mail it to me. Now I emailed back to say great if you
could send it but I'm in Scotland. So I will wait and see if Fellowes come
through and send it all the way from Illinois. Here's hoping.

Altough one of my interests stated in my profile is Astronomy, last night
seemed to be the first night in ages that I have actually seen the moon.
Its a funny hobby, astronomy, as the best time to do it is when it is cold
ie winter. The long dark nights mean longer time outside but an early
start. Summer although warmer means waiting until very late for a dark
enough sky.
