Top Billing?

Just watched Die Hard 4.0 (Will there be a 4.1? Will it have networking and workgroup support?) on DVD. Not seen it before. It is a big, dumb, action movie with some great lines and even greater explosions. For me the best bit was the credits, where some up and coming actor was billed as playing the part of "Nearby Agent". I don't think that's very helpful as a description. Lots of agents were near to John McClane at one time or another in the movie, but not usually for very long....

WiFi For Your Camera

This is a very cute device. If your camera uses SD cards it gives you a very neat way of getting your pictures into your computer, with no wires.

Union Building

For ages they have been working on the Students Union building on campus. Now that we can see what it is they have been doing, it actually looks quite nice.

And the campus is looking good at the moment too.

Flower Picture

I took this in the conservatory today. Of course, I've no idea what it is.

Holding the Baby

Had a visitor today who brought her four month old baby round to see us. Other people's babies are great. You can hold them for a while and when they burst into tears, look like they are going to throw up or make a funny smell (or all three at once) you can hand them back to the parent with the words "I think she wants you now..".

Actually Ellie was great, and took me back to the halcyon days when our two were tiny tots and didn't know more about programming and science than me.
