Halo 3 - somefoolis

I’ve not had much of a chance to play Halo the last couple of days due in part to Open Mic Night but I shall today. You can see my Halo stats here.

I started Halo on Heroic (I think it was Heroic, not the most difficult setting anyway) and unaware that my 360 wasn’t online I launched myself into the single player mode. About 30 minutes in I noticed the 360 was offline and connected the ethernet cable to take it online. The 360 dutifully told me it needed to update and I let it. It did warn me that it might need to reboot but I let it go anyway, assuming it had saved my process. How wrong was I? Nope, it hadn’t saved and I had to redo the previous half hour. Not a major problem, but annoying nonetheless.

Aside from that little outing and a couple of games online I took it over to a friends and we LANd their Elite and my Premium together with each of our copies of Halo 3 for a 2 TV, 4 player split screen set of deathmatches - FUN!

I think I might not buy an iPod touch and instead get an iPhone despite my early misgivings about the 8gb on the iPhone compared with a possible 16gb on the touch – the more versatile iPhone wins out over the doubling of capacity. Plus, I'd still be with O2 - paying them my usual monthly fee. I've asked about Edge coverage in my area and it should be good. So roll on November the 9th - which just so happens to be the same month as my birthday, allowing me yet another excuse to get a shiny new Apple iToy.

Open Mic 19-9-7

Last night was a lesson learned - “Remember to plug the USB into the right on my MacBook Pro”. The hissing you can hear throughout is due to this. I’ve no ideas what’s happened as it used to work then suddenly stopped working.

So sorry about that, enjoy the music anyway.

This can only be the iPhone on O2 so let's see.

"8GB will be sold for £269", "not going on sale until November 9th" - meh. I'm still getting an iPod Touch.

"Q: 7,000 hotspots in the UK... but are they free?
Matthew: "Cloud is the WiFi provider, and yes, it's free." Steve goes on to again tout the advantages of WiFi. Matthew nodding head vigorously, "It's a lot faster.""
- So as an O2 customer can I use this with my iPod touch? Looking at TheCloud's price plans (if you can't get it free courtesy of O2 and Apple) are ludicrous. Why the extra cost for paying by SMS and why a different price per month for one device compared with unlimited WIFI devices? Seems like the WIFI supplying game is the place to be.

I might have to have a chat in my local O2 store...

The FIA have announced that McLaren will not score constructors’ championship points this year and face an unprecedented $100m fine for their role in the espionage case. However Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso will still be allowed to score points towards the drivers’ championship. McLaren will also not be allowed any constructor’s representatives on the podium for the rest of the year. #
Wow! On the face of it, these seems very harsh and I'd be interested to know the details of what happened.

Open Mic 13-9-7
Full of jams and Dan was up nearly every time.

Eli Horne has compiled a list of his 10 mission critical wordpress plugins which mentions my very own Nice Related Posts (a mod of another plugin). I gave a few of them a go: Wordpress Reports gives easy access to Google Analytics and Feedburner stats in WordPress; Flickr Photo Gallery seems quite useful but for me at least incompatible with the more critical UTW; WP Cache, I used an older version of some sort of WordPress cache plugin a while a go and had problems with it but I’m trying this version.

Ill try and add a few to his list: Also mine, WP Admin Strip for all your quick admin access which Brendan is now updating and Instant Upgrade for one click WordPress upgrades.


Very funny video piracy warning parody from The IT Crowd. I'm sure I hear Chris Morris' voice in there - he was involved in The IT Crowd after all.

A good mix of blues and rock. Sadly due to a technical problem when recording the second set stops about 4-5 minutes before the end.

Email them around, send them to your phone and bluejack people, stick em on walls - whatever.

Oh yes, get the PDF for printing here.


See Jon fly E Sky Lama. See Jon crash E Sky Lama.

Another good Open Mic Night, the band “Joby” particularly stood out. Also of note were Owen’s set, Angie’s songs and Dan’s Zappa rendition.

See you next Wednesday at The Fawcett Inn.

Pics up shortly.

ipod

Ive not had a chance to read up much on it yet, but of course I want an iPod touch. I also like the new look Nano despite there being some debate around about it looking 'chubby'.

So, iPod Touch or iPhone? It's certainly a tough decision: I'd like an iPhone but it's currently only 8gig and will of course come tethered with a phone contract; The iPod Touch is a nice proposition but it still means carrying a phone around and whilst 16gb isn't bad, it's not the 30gb I currently have. I'll have to wait a bit I guess.

phonic

Jon and I (Jon is the other member of the audio engineering team at The Fawcett) are looking at getting a nice Firewire mixer for.. well, not just the Open Mic Nights but for anything else which might come up but also just because it's got flashy lights and LEDs. We have so far decided in this Phonic Helix 12 which should allow each audio track to go as a separate track to Garageband for remixing, fixing levels, EQ etc later. So, if anyone has any experience with such setups and useful suggestions, please speak up. Thanks.

The Continentals @ The Fawcett

The Continentals, great blues. The first 2 songs are from the sound check. Original image on flickr.
