It’s really weird. Real Media is a standard streaming format for web based media content, for example DJ mixes. If I want to turn a 60 minute wave file (approximately 600 megs) into a streamable real audio file, I run it (or used to run it) through a program called Helix Producer Basic. This is…

Ok. Yesterday I went to Church in the morning, and didn’t do much for the rest of the day. Today I went into town, getting completely soaked (I got a lift there and back but I got wet just by walking the short distance from the car park, it was raining so heavily…) Bought a…

We have some relatives staying for the weekend, my sister and two nephews and a niece. For some reason my youngest nephew (aged about 3 or 4) has decided that it is his duty to inform me of everything that he is doing whenever he sees me, and take it upon himself to ask me…

I’m sure I made a post on this blog after Tuesday. Having said that, it’s still only Thursday so perhaps I didn’t. I didn’t go and see the Fast and the Furious 2 yesterday; instead I’m going to go and see it tomorrow. Hopefully! In case anyone is thinking about getting ADSL (BT’s broadband service)…

My speakers have arrived 🙂 They came this morning. Well, technically it was half way between morning and afternoon (it arrived just as I was starting lunch.) Unfortunately it meant that I had to trek half way across Ipswich to get some speaker cable (which, incidentally, cost £2.10 — that was a half hours walk…

Why is it that whenever I am expecting a parcel, the moment the parcel comes I always seem to be doing something else? For example. The package that was supposed to come today came, but unfortunately at the precise moment it came I was upstairs. You can’t hear the bell very well from upstairs, and…

I told you I wouldn’t be updating as much! But I will update every two or three days at least. Hopefully… Yesterday… wait for it! I didn’t do much! Woo-hoo! Went out for a walk yesterday afternoon, spent some time reading… watched a film in the evening about Anne Frank… This morning I went to…

Yep, I’ve spent more than 24 hours back at home now! And I’ve quite enjoyed it so far. This afternoon I went into town, I bought three books by Douglas Adams (they were on buy three for the price of two in Waterstones.) Actually the offer was referring to paperback but the 3 for 2…

Yep! Early this afternoon I packed my stuff into the car, and back we came. There’s not much else to say really! I’ve pretty much unpacked everything — I’ve certainly got more than I left with last October! I guess the main thing is now I have about 300 records, having left with about 80……

Well, this was my last day in Colchester for the time being! I may well come back sometime in the near future, but it won’t be the same. So what did I do? This morning I went onto campus, I met up with Philippa for a drink (and scanned some photos of Megan’s party as…
