New Day...

...at the office. More work to be done, more programming to hack, and to add to that, its nice and sunny outside....fiddlesticks.

For some reason, I keep on changing the name of this blog, I still can't decide on what I should call it. Any suggestions?

Just remembered the other day I was watching the BBCs Best British Sit-com, in which "Only Fools & Horses" won. Although very good, I really wanted "Blackadder" to win (it came in second nonetheless).

Nothing delights me more that to watch Edmund Blackadder to makes his jaunts and jibes at the cruel world which he is so pitifully put in. Although the shenanigans and trouble he gets into is mostly his fault, it further deepens when his dim sidekick Baldrick gets involved - ah, you just gotta see it.

I have noticed lately that I have been watching nothing but sit-coms or comedy sketches. Maybe I am trying to devoid myself of the cruel reality. I find life hard enough as it is without coming home and switch on the TV and watch dramas about murders and see that on the news that there is another suicidal bombing somewhere in the world. Its just too depressing. I think people should just lighten-up a little.

There's seems to be a lot of news with regards to the MP3 downloading problem. I don't understand why to be honest. No matter what the music industry does, it will never get ahead of the underground people who find new, innovative ways to distribute music. These people are always seem to be a step ahead. Maybe the music industry should employ these people to help them develop products/services?

Do I donwload music? Yeah, sometimes. But my taste in music is very strange and obscure. I tend to listen Japanese chart music, or Japanese soundtracks from Animes. Where the hell do I go to buy such CDs in the UK? No where in my experience. There was one place in North London, but that has gone now, so where now? Internet of course!

Well, I run out of things to say, as my life isn't that exciting, so all I have is my thoughts and ideas. Hope it doesn't bore you too much.

OK, back to work, more Perl programming....oh there's a Llama on my reference book...cool.

Homeward Bound (For 2 Weeks)

We're setting off later this evening to UK for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne again, not to mention to catch with friends and family and of course do a bit of driving! I haven't been driving for more than a year now since I have been in Taiwan, feels like my legs have gone! We're taking a lot pineapple cakes, which Taiwan is famous for, back to friends and family in UK, and some other gifts too. On the way back, we'll bring back all sorts of stuff to Taiwan, so another post on that when I get back. Not sure whether I'll be able to get online as often, but will try my best to keep my blog updated as much as possible while I am over in UK. My grand parents also arrived in UK from Hong Kong to attend my brother Jimmy's wedding. So time would probably be spent travelling around and take to places to see and have fun. Don't worry, as always, I'll be taking pictures! It will be Amelie's first time visit to UK

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.

Rainy Weekend

What a way to end the weekend, being soaked top-to-bottom in heavy rain! It came very suddenly and we just wanted to get home, so we took the chance and ran all the way home in the rain. It was refreshing actually, I have had a lot on my mind recently and the being soaked certainly gave the brain a bit of a reboot. But then I realised Taiwan rain is quite acidic, not a good thing. Anyhow, I have updated my homepage with something useful for the lunch hours. Its a random lunch selector, which basically displays a picture of a local eatery which we would go to for lunch. It has been pain in the rear-end when deciding where to go for lunch. There are so many choices in the area where I work, so having something like this may ease the troublesome decision which we all make on a daily basis. I've also made use of the ned 8MB ADSL line by doing a bit of downloading and listening to online radio. Certainly makes a difference and if you guys can get it, then get it! I just read th
