Ok, that's weird...

The lights have just dimmed in the whole of the house like what happens when there is a power surge. I have checked out various places and there isn't any lightning strikes or any bits of thunder around... but what makes it weirder is that my mates T-Mobile phone also lost all his signal too... pretty weird. Probably something from space messing with all that magnetic field stuff in the air...

Anyone else had these problems??

freesat

The BBC and ITV have today released another FREE(ish) TV service for UK called freesat. It's basically Freeview but through a satellite dish instead of an aerial.

At the moment the coverage of freesat is 98% of the UK and also offers high definition programmes too. What programs they offer, I have no idea yet however it's just over 80. As for a price too, all you need to do is pay for a digi-box, satellite dish and an installation fee - which I don't also know. I know you can pick them up from Currys, Argos, John Lewis and Comet. The cost of the service is just that one time payment and then it is free for life - including all the current HD channels too.

Ok, I have just found out a list of the channels and here they are below:
Entertainment
BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1 (STV - Scotland or UTV - Northern Ireland), Channel 4, BBC Three, BBC Four, BBC HD, ITV2, ITV3, ITV3 +1, ITV4, S4C, E4, More4, Zone Romantica and Zone Thriller.

News
BBC News, BBC Parliament, S4C2, Al Jazeera English, EuroNews.

Movies
Film4, True Movies, True Movies 2, Movies4Men, Movies4Men 2.

Misc
Wedding TV, Overseas Property TV, Men & Motors.

Music
Chart Show TV, The Vault, Scuzz, Bubble Hits, B4U Music.

Childrens
CBBC Channel, CBeebies, CITV Channel, POP, Pop Girl, Tiny Pop.

Specialist
Teacher's TV.

Radio
BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 FM, BBC Radio 4 LW, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 7, BBC Asian Network, BBC World Service, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Radio nan Gàidheal, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio London.

Shopping
QVC, price-drop tv, bid tv, Pitch TV, JML Lifestyle.

Finally I have noticed that E4 and More4 are also encrypted channels too with something called Videoguard - so I don't think you can record from them two stations.

Mom's Truffles

My Mom's truffles are the best! I am being serious! They are "home made" and I tell you the amount of rum she puts in them is the right amount. The amount of stuff that I drink, I don't like rum, however when she does rum truffles they are lovely, so I take it rum and chocolate go nicely together... well it should do considering I love it. The thing that makes me laugh is the fact that when I goto the Royal Mail office to pick it up, the envelope on its own stinks of rum. I'm suprised they allow it to go through the post!! He he.

Sound Upload

Anyone that views my site will probably know that I have created and still own and develop a big online service for uploading audio files. Well each piece that has to be uploaded, I personally have to go through and either accept or deny each piece. Now I have to go through each piece one-by-one and I did have a back log of over 3,000 audio files... I tell you, if you want to create your own audio hosting website, I'd suggest one thing... "DON'T!!" ... it's a lot of hard work and it took me 3-4 days with spending around 16 hours each day to do it all.
