“You might find this amusing.
We took a boat trip across the lake to a place...”
– An email from my dad, currently in Italy. The funny thing is he’s always getting on to me for losing things and not knowing where I last put them….pot. kettle. black. :)

My new annoying habit
Since I’ve been getting the train to and from work I’ve noticed on particularly draining days I fall asleep on the train home, but not just normal falling asleep, it’s weird.
I sort of float between being asleep and being awake, the only thing keeping me awake is some sort of uncontrollable jolting, maybe it’s the train’s movements but I don’t hear...

2nd attempt at Omegle.com ...still learning
Connecting to server...
Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Stranger: matt?
You: yes?
Stranger: matt who??
You: matt hu, that's who
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
Quite annoyed as I did in fact turn the wit switch in my brain to the ON position. Sucks for you Stranger, you missed a golden opportunity
My first experience of Omegle.com ...at 1am.
Connecting to server...
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Stranger: you have 20 seconds
Stranger: go
You: oh no why?
You: what will happen?
Stranger: convince me to stay
You: a bomb?
Stranger: or you'll find out
Stranger: 10 seconds
You: oh, er, i'm too tired, you're too high maintenance
Stranger: damn straight i am
As you can see I was in no way prepared or prepared to maintain such a quick-fire, impressive conversation unfortunately.

A 78% chance my death will be feline related
I know this is purely some clever form of viral marketing but it’s pretty cool. I have noticed Jake attacking Elwood a fair bit more recently, perhaps I’m next.

A little question, about phones
I know I’m only 12 months through an 18 month contract, a contract that I got a bill for £89 this month (too much texting, far too much texting) but I’m already thinking of which phone to get next, don’t get me wrong my N95 8G is pretty awesome but is also getting a bit janky and rattles a bit. Probably the perils of having a slider phone.
So there ar ethree options when...

Patents: Nokia Patents Digital Equivalent of... →
This sounds great, Nokia do have a iPhone competitor up their sleeves so this makes their offering sound interesting. I never thought of this tech but it seems like a great feature.
Then again I was never one for writing details on the back of photos.

9.9.08 - Much ado about nothing (Part One:...
Well like I mentioned last week, yesterday was meant to be a big day for portable music players, and in general there was a fair ol’ bit of news, but none of it earth shattering unfortunately. I was a bit underwhelmed by Apple’s conference if I’m honest, despite being a Zune owner (which in itself is nothing to shout about) I couldn’t help but realise that Apple seem to...
Quickfire Bargain Bonanza
I got a message from Steam when I logged in this weekend to clock up some more time on Abe’s Oddysee that I’ve never completed and intend to this time round.
Anyway, I digress, the big news this week is that all id software games (Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein etc.) are 50% off, which sounds good in itslef but for me it’s more like 75% off because Steam has started charging me in...

9.9.08 - A red letter day in Portable Media...
I don’t know how into gadgets you, fair reader, are but suffice to say I’m a bit of a gadget nut. Hence the 9th of September will be a very interesting day for me, not only one but two computing giants get in the ring for yet another round of their age-old battle: Apple vs. Microsoft.
Both companies have press events (read: show off parties) for their new media players; Apple’s...

Mister Drumz: Super hero
Last night I donned my non-existant cape, wore my underwear outside my pants and became a super hero!
Actually I lie about the appearance but the story goes as follows:
Normally our cats are what you’d call “indoor cats”, for most of their formative years they lived indoors not bothering to go outside unless it was sunny outside and we were in the back yard to keep tabs on...
If I was a Team Fortress 2 class...

Which is pretty cool since it’s normally the Spy or the Sniper who I play as.

Some sad news and a recommendation
Ok, I have good news and bad news today, it’s nothing too serious but it would appear that my favorite online music service Muxtape has kicked the bucket. :(
For those unfamiliar Muxtape was a way you could upload a bunch of songs and create a virtual mixtape for anyone or just yourself to hear. The quality was spot on and I had already made one as a test (I was also using it as a backup...
WatchLeeds festival was awesome, apart from the destructive numbskulls who started massive fires and riots…you are the reaosn the show will likely be cancelled next year.
Music was great though, got to see a massive range of music

The layout may have changed a wee bit but this is the general area where I’ll be for the next week. Base camp for Team Badulf will probably be around the orange campsite or green. So excited
Show me the way to Leeds Festival

This will be how I’ll be venturing to Leeds on wednesday, it says 1hr 42 mins but I reckon we’ll hit traffic…not to worry.
New home - misterdrumz.com!
Hi all, I’ve just completed puchasing the domain rights for Misterdrumz.com and once the DNS servers have updated it should be pointing you here (for now) so there’s an even easier way to get to this site.
And before any evil spammers or SEO people (like me lol) try it I’ve gone for private registration as well as using the promotion code from this weeks Diggnation (DIGG3, if...
Slightly more positive news
Things haven’t been the best round here for a few weeks which was sad since everyone was excited/happy about the near future. Obviously something terrible happened and I think it really tested us all, I was impressed with how all my best friend’s true mates were able to be there for him, I know it meant a lot to him and in a way it’s good to know that my friends have that...
