Keane "On a Day like today" Lyrics

"On a day like today"

On a day like today
I looked at you and I
Saw something in the way
You stared into the sky
I saw you
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I,

Could never seem to say the things I needed to
On a day like today no other words would do

I saw you
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I,

Can never find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why

And I don't know why....
And I don't know why....
And I don't Know why....

I saw you...
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I.....
Can never find the words to say
And I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
And I don't know why....

Morrissey "Life is a Pigsty" lyrics

Life is A Pigsty

It´s the same old S.O.S.
But with brand new broken fortunes
And once again I turn to you
Once again I do I turn to you

It´s the same old S.O.S.
But with brand new broken fortunes
I´m the same underneath
But this you, you surely knew

Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty

And if you don´t know this
Then what do you know?
Every second of my life I only live for you
And you can shoot me
And you can throw me off a train
I still maintain
I still maintain

Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
And I´d been shifting gears all along my life
But I´m still the same underneath
This you surely knew

I can´t reach you
I can´t reach you
I can´t reach you anymore
Can you please stop time?
Can you stop the pain?
I feel too cold
And now I feel too warm again

Can you stop this pain?
Can you stop this pain?
Even now in the final hour of my life
I´m falling in love again
Again

Even now in the final hour of my life
I´m falling in love again
Again
Again
Again

I´m falling in love again
Again
Again
Again

French GP 2008 'Awards'

Driver of the Day
Jarno Trulli - for holding it all together to take a podium, through the thick and thin - in his case 'wet and dry track conditions' with Kovalainen crawling all over the back of his gearbox in the last few laps.

Muppet of the Day
Well yet again Lewis Hamilton has got to be the front runner for this , when you pass a car on the 'track' you pass a car on the track ...not via the chicane ...that's what I do on the Playstation!

NIN Remix Added 'Head Down (WhiteNoise)'

Eventually finished this mix - had to compress the heck out of it in the end!
Not 100% happy with it , but had to let it go at some point.

NIN "Something I can Never Have" Lyrics

Sometimes we all think what would have happened if we had made different decision on 'life's journey' ...what would have happened? - would we still recognize the person we are now ...would we more importantly recognize that person we had become ?

At the core of us all, are our fears..and our hopes (Album title in there somewhere methinks)

I can remember a 'single' point in my existence when I decided on this journey I have taken ...and for that I am relieved... That at that moment 'I was strong enough' to realize that destiny had took me in her arms.


'Something I Can Never Have'

I still recall
The taste of your tears
Echoing your voice
Just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you
Still wash ashore
Scraping through my head
'Till I don't want to sleep anymore

You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make this all go away

I just want something
I just want something
I can never have


You always were the one
To show me how
Back then
I couldn't do the things
That I can do now
This thing
Is slowly taking me apart
Grey would be the colour
If I had a heart

Come on tell me
You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make this all go away

I just want something
I just want something
I can never have


In this place
It seems like such a shame
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look
You're all I see
Just a fading fucking reminder
Of who I used to be

Come on tell me
You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make it all go away

I just want something
I just want something
I can never have
I just want something
I can never have

Existence but what does it Matter?

'Existence but what does it matter' ? - that's a quote in my head but not sure at this moment who said it ....

Everything that is 'deemed reality' is but sensations brought to you by your senses:
Touch/Smell/Hear/Vision.
But what if 'reality is inside your head' (another quote there I think) - what if that is the true reality of life?
After all is not how we react to life/people/ situations etc ...represented by how we deal' with these events within our 'consciousness' ?

Human psyche deals in basic needs as a 'pyramid'
(see "Maslow" Diagram above)

If however and this is just a thought while I write this - what happens if you do not complete all the steps in 'order' - can this be done? - I'm not sure and does this have an effect upon how you view life within your 'own reality' ?
Can it be done? ...or do you end up with a 'personal reality' based upon a false 'achievement' of that particular 'step'?

Coldplay 42 Lyrics

42

Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
Oh...

Time is so short and I'm sure
There must be something more

Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head oh…And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
Oh…

Time is so short and I'm sure
There must be something more

Oooh....
(Instrumental Break)

You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close

You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you
Oh oh
Oh oh…
Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
Oh...

Coldplay BBC Live Gig 18/06/08

Well I watched this live, after after being a bit disappointed with the sound quality to begin with -picture was cool because I was watching it on BBC HD - the sound and the band warmed up.

Was only on for 45mins but was a nice 'event' - if a bit middle class I thought.

contrary to the track listing posted by the BBC - Life in Technicolour was not transmitted , infact the gig was cut to just as the last bars of the song faded out, so you had to be there to hear that one I'm afraid.

The track listing actually transmitted is as follows:

Violet hill
Clocks
In my place
Viva la vida
42
Trouble
Lost!
Yellow
Fix you
Lovers in Japan

Stand out track - Lost!
Shouldn't have bothered track - Yellow

......'Maybe talk and not just speak'.

James Blunt - Same Mistake

So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

Hello, hello

There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy, does it show
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

And so I sent some men to fight,
And one came back at dead of night,
said "He'd seen my enemy"
said "he looked just like me"
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
Cos I'll just make the same mistake again,

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises 'cause
There are no promises I keep,
and my reflection troubles me
so here I go

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
Cos I'll just make the same mistake (REPEAT) again

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

So while I'm turning in my sheets

And once again, I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars

Look at the stars, fall down,

And I wonder where, did I go wrong.

Nothing Anymore.

Future Keyboard Designs

In the Latest issue of MacLife some really luscious pictures are inside of 'Optimus tactus Keyboard'

The Keyboard is OLED backlit , and what this means to us the end user is , that as each app you launch on your computer is brought to the front - eg you click on the screen to bring mail to the front - the keyboard then changes the keys so that mail commands are selected, eg: short cuts for forwarding mail adding attachments etc.

Then you then decide you want to edit some photos in photoshop - and voila the keyboard displays the commands and shortcuts for Photoshop.

The down side is the price - rumored to be in the range of $2000.

Ah well innovation coupled with style never comes cheap!

Backing up SMS/Text on the Iphone to your Mac Computer

Micromat have available as a beta release Syphone which enables you to back up your SMS/txt msgs from your Iphone to your computer as individual 'conversations'

Now this release has a 'couple' of problems :
1 - It crashes like no-ones business - and it's a pain to resurrect it from the 'dead'.
2 - If any of your incoming text msgs from the 'conversation' recipient have the country code eg+44 in-front it will strip them out of the conversation you pick to export, and then you end up with two 'separate conversations' even though on the Iphone they can be seen as 'one' complete 'normal conversation' - if you don't know what I mean you'll see when you try and download a 'conversation' - if you don't see it -you've not got the country code problem so that's cool :)


Now onto the 'crashing problem' in the forum on the Micromat site there is a lengthy explanation of how to resolve this issue - and it is a tad confusing and a bit 'gulp' like in it's detail tbh.
Well these two steps have worked for me :

Go into the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Syphone and delete the file named “SMSDaemon”.
Go into ~/Library/Preferences/ and delete the file named 'com.micromat.Syphone.plist'.
(~ is short for User Name)

Also I have not actually 'installed the app into my applications folder - I just run it off the DMG image - if you do install it your third step should be to delete it and re download it - so hence why I run it off the DMG image - easier and saves on bandwidth.

The Syphone App is free , However if you want a supported app for $40 try here: The Missing Sync for Iphone

Or this Donationware app MobileSyncBrowser which will cost you a 'beer or a meal' according to the developer.

Let me know how you get on :)

Boy A - Film UK

I watched this film last night on TV (4 on demand service).
An excellent drama and gripping at all the right moments , even though you knew what was going to happen quite early on in the story - well I did - It holds you and the acting is superb.

Throughly recommended to anyone who likes a 'real life' story.

Trailer QT

Mac OSX 'Snow Leopard' - No G3/4/5 chipset support?

Well as the dust settles from the WWDC 2008 the major story to emerge (after the iphone 3G I suppose) is 'Snow Leopard'

This operating system - no confirmed release date as yet (about a year has been mentioned) - will run only on Intel Chipsets So G3/G4/G5 users (aka me!) are eventually 'discarded'.

It was to be expected it has to be said , as these machines are getting a tad long in the tooth - and carbonising the OS all the time is probably getting harder, ah well that excuse for a new 'system' is getting stronger lol

On a serious note though - this is going to make alot of people very annoyed!!

Digit news story on this.

Macworld WWDC 2008 Live coverage

Macrumours will be covering the event. (link above)

Shame apple are not doing a 'live QT  stream' considering the amount of hype that this event has generated in the last few months.

The event starts 10:00PDT - which is 18:00 UK time.

Shame I'll be at work when it all kicks off !

The Canadian GP 2008 'Awards'

Driver of the Day
Robert Kubica - For not only his maiden GP win - but by doing it while everybody else was suffering from 'Montreal Madness' and losing their cool and the plot (see next award for example)

Muppet of the Day
Lewis Hamilton - for not listening to his driving instructor when traffic lights were explained to him!

Everything and nothing

Having a strange day today ...Thinking about in no particular order:

Iphone 3G

Coldplay new album - do I like it?

Morrissey - repetitive play of 'My Dearest Love'

F1 - Canadian GP - so so so annoyed I can't watch it live tonight due to work ...so I'll be up till 03:00am watching the recording.

The Future (and as Morrissey once said 'How soon is now and when exactly do you mean'?)

Am I hungry?

Did I get enough sleep ?

Responsibility.

Heroes Season 1 will I ever catch up ?

Is there enough culture in my life or am I just a fake intellectual ?


Apart from that not done alot today really.

Morrissey 'My Dearest Love' Lyrics

My Dearest Love

These tears I'm wailing
I spill not without reason
Remove them


My Dearest Love
Myyyyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiii

Take me to the place I've been dreaming of
Where the grotesquely lonely meet grotesquely lonely and they whisper
Just very softly
Please be mine dearest love
Be mine dearest love
Be my dearest love
Be my dearest love

I have hung on hung on hung on
For one hundred years
For someone to shake me someone to wake me
If necessary someone to break me

My dearest love
My dearest love
My dearest love

My dearest love
My dearest love
My dearest love

On the night you went away.

Sometimes life 'swipes' you sideways - with a feeling you are not expecting- just had one of those tonight. Makes you realise sometimes that what comes out of your mouth is not only - not the truth to other people but maybe more surprisingly - not the truth to yourself.

Maybe this life does change your perceptions of what you once thought was 'intrinsic' to 'YOU' as you walk down the road of 'development experience' ?

Feeder 'Silent Cry' Lyrics

Silent Cry

Silence the cry stepping back further
Escape from the mind , my mind
Twisting inside looking for shelter
Find the divide in me

Oh my god what have I done , one step now the damage is done

It's silent without you
It burns through each and everyday
it takes my breathe away
So lonely without you there's no view
Colours just fade to grey
It takes my breathe away

I was so blind I should have seen it
Noticed the life my Life
I had to climb stepping up further
To find the divide in me

Oh my god what have I done , one step now the damage is done.

It's silent without you
It burns through each and everyday
It takes my breathe away
So lonely without you there's no view
Colours just fade to grey

It takes my breathe away


They all say much of us
But then you always knew
Just want to live our lives
We know your trying to
We put our faith in you
(incomprehensible)
To find new ways to care
Until this story ends

It takes my breathe away
It's silent without you
It burns through each and everyday
It takes my breathe away

oooohhh

It takes my Breathe away

BBC IPlayer Download content on Mac OSX

Well as some of you will have noticed, alot has been said about the BBC IPlayer (well here in the UK anyway!).

Well if your a Mac user - (and lets face it if your not - your a lost soul) you cannot download the content off BBC IPlayer for watching at a later date , you have to watch it 'live' streaming on your 'puter.

Well not anymore! With the aid of IPlayer Downloader you can download it to your Mac by inserting the URL of the program you have chosen off IPlayer to watch , and voila! it downloads the program to the destination of your choice - say desktop and you can then open the program in QT (Quicktime).
It can then be transfered to IPod/ Iphone or even Disc.
Oh and it's DRM free so it stays on 'puter for as long as you want it to. So none of this after 30 days or-whatever it is you can't play the file due DRM issues.

So pretty cool eh!

Morrissey new album 'Years of Refusal'

'True to You' have released information in regard to Morrissey's new Album entitled : 'Years of Refusal'.

It's slated for a 9th of September 2008 (UK) release and reported so far to be 12 tracks.

A Sort of partial track listing can be obtained :

'That's how people grow up'
'All you need is me'
'Something is squeezing my skull'
'I'm throwing my arms around paris'
'One day goodbye will be farewell'
'Mama lay softly on the riverbed' -Played at the O2 Wireless festival -4/07/08


Produced by Jerry Finn who helmed Production and Mixing on 'You are the Quarry'

Personally I thought the production on 'Ringleader of the Tormentors' was far more grandiose than the repetitive formulaic approach for 'You are the Quarry' - Maybe Tony Visconti was otherwise engaged.

Album can be pre-ordered here

Morrissey 'All You need is me' - New Single release.

This single was originally slated for a release date of 19th of May , but was delayed (no idea why)

It's available on 2 formats in 3 different 'guises'

1 CD Single
a All you need is me
b Children in Pieces - New Track

2 7'' *1
a All you need is me
b My Dearest love - New Track

3 7'' *2
a All you need is me
b Drive in Saturday ( Live at Orpheum Theatre Omaha Nebraska, 11th May 2007)

Now for the Morrissey concious of you - like me - the first thing you notice is if you don't get your hands on the 7''*1 you can't get hold of the Track 'My Dearest Love', so fingers crossed that when Itunes (UK) updates on Tuesday (3rd June) all tracks become available in a digital format.

Oh and btw the Single is only available for one week.

*update* Looks like Decca are not making this single available on Itunes (UK) - in relation to the b-Sides, so i'm a tad disappointed and annoyed about that to say the least!

Feeder 'Miss You' Lyrics (From the Album 'Silent Cry')

Miss You

Coming around, I'm coming around again,
Cautious now, until the bitter end.
(Just cant see it)
What is this, what have I become?
20 days, 7 hours alone

Your coming back, coming back, coming back
cos' I just don't see it,
coming back, coming back alone.


I miss you, each day day day
I miss you, why does it have to be this way?


Nothing left, nothing left of me,
Solitude, emptiness, defeat.
(Just cant see it)
What is this, what have I become?
20 days, 7 hours alone

Your coming back, coming back, coming back
cos' I just don't see it,
coming back, coming back alone.
(You know i still believe it)
Your coming back, coming back, coming back
cos' I just don't see it,
coming back, coming back alone.


I miss you, each day day day
I miss you, why does it have to be this way?
I miss you, each day day day

why does it have to be this way?

I cant stop falling,
Jumping falling,
There's never been an easy way.
(incomprehensible lyrics)
There's never been an easy way.


I just miss you, each day day day
I miss you, why does it always end this way?

Exporting Video to Iphone

All lot has been said in loads and loads of forums about resizing video for the iphone screen ..what resolution what bit rate etc etc....

To be honest if your an Apple user (they do a version of QT for Pc users as well) the simplest method is Quicktime (if your like me and have QT pro off course)

As the screenshot shows you just open your Avi file in QT and select export ..and choose Iphone from the drop down menu of default settings ..and voila ...it's exported to a folder of your choice.

In my case I just drag and drop the exported file into the Itunes Movies window ..and then sync with my IPhone the file I've exported ..and voila ...done.

ps: click on the picture so you can see it a bit better ;)

Crowds

I've always had a problem with crowds....... differing social needs and aspects of conversation which I do not or desire to take part in.

Coldplay 'Lost' Lyrics from 'Viva LA Vida'

Lost

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I will cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off...

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost

Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing starts
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off…

WALL.E

The film of the summer me thinks , Indiana Jones ...yea ok it will be what it will be - but this this will be FUN!!

Coldplay Viva La Vida Lyrics

Viva La Vida



I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

(Ooooh Oooh Oooh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Facebook and Iphone

Scan through the installer, and locate the facebook app (You can just perform search on the installer and type 'Facebook' - it's a tad quicker!)

Download the app to your Iphone and then it will ask you to 'sign in' .

Now here's the rub , up until I installed the 'fix' for the IPlayer (see previous blog post) the 'log in' screen kept coming up everytime I moved tabs ...which was a tad frustrating as you can imagine , but a knock on effect of installing that 'patch' is it no longer keeps asking me to log in ...so 'instant' facebook on a Wi-Fi hotspot.

IPhone BBC IPlayer Fix

The link will tell you to use the installer to add a new 'source' to your Installer (This only applies to Jailbroken IPhones), follow the instructions as per the link , and then Turn the Iphone off and back on - and voila Iplayer live ... ahhh I can chill out to the sky at night at last.

If like me you were getting the 'Error cannot play movie' dialogue box this will brighten your day immensely :)

Thoughts on the Iphone

Well it's been a few days now with the iPhone, so time for some reality to add to the WOW that happened when I opened the box last week.

First things first as a mobile phone it works in a pretty slick manner , though if your a fan of MMS you'll be disappointed because it doesn't work out of the box, there is a work around on 'jailbroken' iPhones but to be honest it's just confusing and I can't be assed to do terminal commands anymore.
Standard txt msg'ing though is a dream come true for those of you familiar with iChat or for that sake MSN messenger (spit) it remembers your txt Msg's as conversations so that's makes keeping up with the 'thread' of the txting a breeze. So ten out of ten for that implimentation.

The email is pretty fantastic full email preview complete with links that are clickable and also the graphics/pictures that are embedded in the mail eg : amazon /hmv mails look and behave exactly like they do your computer.

Text input on handheld devices ala the 'Palm' has always been bit of a bugbear , let's face it take away somebody's kybd and the long faces and complaints about bloody gadgets start. Well you ain't seen nothing yet ladies and gentlemen till you typed txt on an iphone everything else you've used with or without stylus is just soooooo last year!
it corrects your typing as you go along by working out which key you really wanted to hit and when you hit the space bar as I am now while I type this txt it inserts the word it thinks you really intended to type its got to be seen to believed it's brilliant.

Well that's a few thoughts for the moment on how me and the iPhone are getting along more to come as it does have a few more tricks up its sleeve, so bye for now.

Ps: did I tell you if you hit the spacebar twice as in ala double clicking it inserts a '.' (period/full stop) ;)

iPhone blogging.

Well mobile blogging with the aid of my wireless network, so mobile blogging from my front room LOL

Sat here using my wireless network to stream music into the front room (so who says technology can't help you chill :)

So if you or in my case ME have access to a wireless network I can update my blog , mind you txt only at the moment as I've not worked out a way to upload the photos I take with the iPhone to the blog - if I could do that now that would be cool!

Live big Screen HD Dolby 5.1 Formula 1 ..now there's a thought!

The Odeon cinema chain are doing Live F1 races on the big screen (see link in title), I was very interested till I found out it's £15.00 a ticket!!!
Still would be pretty good in HD and Dolby 5.1!!!

Mind you if the BBC get their act together and transmit the races in HD next season that would be pretty cool.

Iphone has landed...well into my hands anyway!

Wow is the only word for the Iphone (ok I'm a mac - freak/geek/nerd/fanatic/head/fanboy/lover etc etc) but having said that it is just pure sex with an apple logo on it...how does apple do it? they just design 'purity' and package it in the 'warmth' of usability.
Needless to say I think it's pretty cool :)

The picture was taken with the iphone built in camera , which I have to say is better than I thought it would be.

Anyway this explains why the blog has not been updated for a few days ..that and other things (like life) have got in the way .....normal service will be resumed shortly.

NIN Free 'Album' download 'the slip'

Trent Reznor has made available to download for 'free' - (bless him), his latest album , available from the link - in title- just sign up with a valid e-mail address - so you that you get the download link, and there you have it,
I have downloaded it but due to a very busy evening not had chance to listen to it yet!

File is available in a variety of formats (Flac/Wav/MP3/ Apple Lossless) so just pick the version you would like.

A Thought... a wake up call.

"If you stare long enough into the abyss, it will look back at you through your own eyes"

Anger turned in and consumed (Gustave Dore/ Dante)

[Sic] "thy fury turned inward on thyself and thee consumed".

No Truer words spoken.

Using your Iphone as an Itunes Remote control (a'la Salling Clicker)

If like me you stream your music round the house with Airport express, it's rather annoying that you can only set up the computer to play a playlist, then settle down in say your front room , and realise you want to play a completely different 'mood' of track, In the past I used 'Salling Clicker' on my Ericsson Mobile to do the task via bluetooth.

Well strangely enough on the Iphone this software is not compatible so hence the link to Signal, The program uses filesharing on your host (Main) computer to do the task and hence your Wi-fi network , a bit of fiddling with your system settings (no Terminal commands here!) and voila ..your away ...well allegedly! - can't confirm because I've not tested it yet lol.

Another program that uses the same way of accessing your Itunes library (and playing back over the computer or Airport Express speakers) is 'Remote Buddy' this is slightly more involved with your mac as it allows you to control presentations as well but maybe a bit more than need as to be honest.
I would just want to control my Itunes library remotely.

Stream Movies to your iphone - with a bit of Terminal commands!

Well the Iphone is coming not here yet - due to bizarre SIM problems that I won't bore you all with.

But on a research note, I've been looking into streaming the movies that i have on my G5 (home Computer) over my Wi-Fi network to my (imminent) Iphone, as the idea of doing that is pretty cool !

Anyway i will be trying that hopefully soon !

ps: link to info is in title btw.

The Back of the new Apple 3G Iphone ..allegedly!

The back of the 'New 2nd Gen Iphone (allegedly) the back is no longer metal.
Screen resolution to be about the same, addition of 3g and GPS is on the cards though these rumours are all over the web, so is it hope or fact?

Headphone jack is (allegedly) now flush not recessed.
Battery life still the same (though GPS and 3G do put more strain on the battery so that remains to be confirmed methinks).
And battery still not removable.. now there's a surprise!

July is looking like a release date, but the WWDC in San Francisco is due on June 9-13th and that is normally when Apple do there 'one last thing trick'..........

Coldplay 'Viva La Vida (Death and all his friends)' album artwork. Free Song from Album available soon.

Graffiti makes it into classical painting :(

I Can't breathe without you..... 'She Has no time' - Keane

"She Has No Time"

You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Think about the lonely people
Then think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Lonely people tumble downwards
My heart opens up to you
When she says

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Spain F1 Qualifying Ferrari- Raikkonen on pole.

A stunning last lap of qually puts Kimi on pole and snatch's the pole from Alonso.
A surprisingly resurgent Renault - but probably fuel light - Pat symonds hinted at that when he referred to Nelson Piquet's 10th place - more representative maybe ?

McLaren continue into dismal form with Hamilton 5th and teammate 6th - oh well never mind eh lads hehehehe

Massa continues to show brilliance while still managing to get it wrong at the crucial moment and ends up 3rd - he showed signs of clinching pole at the start of the third qually but then just lost the rhythm and hence the pace.

Kubica still shows he's a fighter and not to be dismissed ...with a respectable 4th for BMW/Sauber

Looks like it could be quite an interesting start tomorrow a few grudges and world championship points to fight for on those opening laps... I for one can't wait!

Provisional Grid for tomorrow :

1. RAIKKONEN Ferrari
2. ALONSO Renault
3. MASSA Ferrari
4. KUBICA BMW
5. HAMILTON McLaren
6. KOVALAINEN McLaren
7. WEBBER Red Bull
8. TRULLI Toyota

13. BUTTON Honda
14. GLOCK Toyota
15. ROSBERG Williams

NIN Download song 'Discipline'

Released yesterday as a free download. this is not related to the download of 'Ghosts' material.

A vocal track but not with the same anger as 'Year Zero' so maybe ghosts has mellowed the style ?

Also the 'Multitrack files are available for 'Discipline' at Remix NIN.com

Unlocking the Iphone on a Mac with Ziphone 3.0

Posted a link to this video for a couple of reasons ,
1 it's the only decent video i could find that was based on unlocking the iphone on a Mac
2 It shows you the process on an unopened (eg: Brand New ) Iphone.

I Have an interest in this as this is maybe the way i will be going in a couple of weeks ....as my friends know i'm very cautious when it comes to things like this - so a couple of weeks or so investigation and deliberation is not unheard of on my part.

Anyway we shall see what I decide in the future...

Ferrari F1 Slick tyre 2009?

So it looks like Slick tyre's are back on the agenda for 2009 .... mentioned in passing at the beginning of the season as a possibility for 2009 , it seems they are on the agenda, as Williams/Toro Rosso/ Honda and also Ferrari have been testing slick tyres at Barcelona this week.

Interesting as Slick tyre's were taken away in order to reduce speeds in F1 as a safety measure (aerodynamics were seen as the cause of the Slick tyre's demise owing to the amount of mechanical grip being generated by active suspension etc).

Personally F1 is about 'speed' so I welcome their return.

The Last Shadow Puppets - Age of Understatement/ In My Room

The potential for this band is stunning , a mixture of 60's nostalgia and string symphony's from heaven, Kitchen sink observed lyrics from a chaise longue in a seedy gentlemen's club.

Yea I quite like the style ;)

Link to BBC Iplayer - Performance of both tracks on 'Later Live' - last night please note this may only be available to UK residents

Portishead Machine gun Live on Jools Holland

Portishead Performed on the 'Later Live' program last night , excellent it was , for you ppl who missed it - you can watch it on the BBC Iplayer (think this is UK only though). Anyway was excellent and made much more sense as a track when performed live , ethereal vocals over machine dystopia ...fantastic.

Fiorentini + Baker 'Elf' Casual Boots... never been obsessed with footwear before...

Tried these boots on in a 'Sole' shop in the Trafford centre in Manchester (Uk)- six months ago - cost £200!!! lots of gulping ...and sucking of air between teeth.... then walked away ... haunted me ever since ...barsteward things!!

Comfortable as an old friend and as relaxing as a summers night.... (jeez poetry with boots what's happening to me).

Belle Epoque 'Black is Black' disco Nostalgia !

ahh, nostalgia is a wonderful thing, the things you remember as being great or good are revisited and you find em slightly - shall we say 'worn round the edges'?

Never been a great disco fan , but hey I was a young kid when saturday night fever /Grease et'al was out , so the sight of three (at that time) attractive ladies gyrating was bound to catch my eye...... looking back mind you at the video ..can't think why i wasn't whipped down the opticians straight away!

anyway for your delectation and delight I present to you a blast from the disco past ..... still a top song ...even though the 'ladies' may not be as 'sultry' as I remember....ah well that's nostalgia for you!

Song lyrics | Black Is Black lyrics


As an aside to this snippet of Disco History , I discovered on my wanderings that this song was 'Originally' released in 1966 by 'Los Bravos' a spanish group, so here for you also is the original version - sung in the style of Gene Pitney I believe.

Made me smirk....

Saw a variation of this advertised round Leeds.... is it just me or is there another connotation to this advert?

'Lady Midnight' by Leonard Cohen

I came by myself to a very crowded place;
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.
I found her there but she was past all concern;

I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me,"
but she scorned me and she told me
I was dead and I could never return.

Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for."

I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."

So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,I could hear my lady calling,

"You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."
