Time for a regeneration

October 31st, 2008 Shayne No comments

Slightly old news, but worth repeating. After next year’s collection of telemovies, David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who. David has been a great Doctor and I will be sad to see him go, but he has had a reasonable run (I’m looking at you Christopher Eccleston) and I look forward to seeing what the new Doctor (and new boss Steven Moffat) are going to do with the show.

Ooo, stop press: Moffat is reported to want James Nesbitt as the new Doctor. Watch this space!

I’m not saying anything about the desirability of a new Islamic school in Camden, but judging by this sign shown in the ABC’s story on the issue I think some people could make better use of the schools they do have.

I’m sorry, but this sort of thing really brings out the [Bob the Angry Flower][2] in me.

Even more Anxiety

For more of Jason’s band Omaha Anxiety (who played support to [Mental as Anything][3] on the weekend, w00t!), check out his [youtube page][1]. This is the last I notice to this effect I will put on this site, as [Jason now has one of his own][2]. Go there and nag him to get it up and running.

Amarok! On OS X!

October 8th, 2008 Shayne No comments

I can’t wait to get home to [download][1] [this][2]. An installable package of [Amarok][3] for my mac! Joy of joys! I kept telling myself that when I got this running I would be donating to the project and I will… I would pay for commercial software of this quality.
