Enjoy.

There are times where I really hate WVS. A perfect example is the photo he posted yesterday. All of a sudden I don’t feel like posting up my own stuff any more… (I will, but – well – *sigh*)

Common Sense…
is obviously something I lack. Having been blah and tired all day, a three hour train-ride home seemed to perk me up. (And Oh, I do like having a laptop that can manage two journeys like that without a recharge in between, and still have 40% battery life by the end of it</smug>) So of course, with work looming in the morning, and being knackered for most of the day, finally going to bed at 2am was probably something of a Very Bad Idea®. One day I’ll learn.
Anyway, I’ve got a CD of the photos from the concert with me, so during my time *cough* “working hard” today I’ll probably get the chance to knock up a photo page. More news as and when.

Ticketmaster
Oh, and amazingly the duplicate tickets were at the box office, and there was no hassle with anything aboutit. My cynicism was, for once, wrong. You’ve no idea how much that actually pleased me. And, by extension, saved me about £100
Peter Gabriel-Still Growing Up Tour
Posted: Sat 5 June, 2004 Filed under: General, Music Leave a comment »As I said earlier in the week, I’d already seen this tour (Well,the “Growing Up” tour, anyway) but when tickets for the extended dates were announced, I still went and got them – one for me, two for friends who hadn’t seen the first tour
There will be pictures following (I’m still away at the moment,which explains a lot) which are- he says modestly– bloody stunning. I’m finally getting the hang of the new camera, and this gig was the best possible place for that knowledge to have come to a head.
Because it’s still (nominally) the same tour, the stage design hasn’t changed,so all the basics were there from the last show. The Zorb ball, cycling round the stage to”Solsbury Hill”,hanging upside-down from a gantry during “Downside Up” etc., all were there. However, the set list was at least a third different, including two new songs, “BabyMan” and the glorious “White Ashes”, as well as performing “Jeux sans Frontieres” on a Segway (and oh yes, a glorious shot of him on it will follow) all contributed to making it a very different performance.
I still loved it, and would happily go again. My friends were utterly blown away by it, which I’d say lists it as a major success of a tour.

Firefox vs. Blogger
Hmmm, that was interesting. The post below originally appeared as being written yesterday, which wasn’t true. As such it’s been deleted and re-posted, but I wondered why it’d happened in the first place. And I think the answer was as follows :-
I use Firefox to write most of the stuff in Blogger. It works, I like it. One of the features of Firefox is that when you close it down, it saves all the window settings, including the tabs you had open at the time. On this occasion, one of the open tabs was Blogger’s “Create Post” – so when I re-opened Firefox this morning, it went to the old “open” create tab.
Blogger now doesn’t date posts according to when they were actually posted/completed/published. Instead it does it according to when the create page was opened. It’s as good a way as any, I suppose – but it doesn’t take account of norks like me using a create page that actually opened yesterday…
