Enjoying the Couch!

Filed under harry potter | No Comments

My CouchDB series is being syndicated at planet.couchdb.com, along with other people who write about the Couch. Well worth following for all the exciting developments!
I’ve just been on the IRC channel (my first time in my life in an IRC!) and had a friendly chat with some of the people in there.
Now i must remember [...]

Another boring post (probably)

Filed under films, harry potter, work | 2 Comments

Married life suits me well. In some ways everything feels pretty much exactly the same. We’ve lived together for 4 years, after all. But in my heart i just *know* something is different, and i like it a lot. We’re not just friends who live together anymore; there is something more to it. Something that [...]

Caught in a Storm

Filed under art, harry potter | No Comments

No, the title isn’t in reference to the current freaky weather we are having (though there have been many surprise storms this week!) but it is the title of a picture that has been drawn … for me! :)
I do like the twoseekers community on LiveJournal, dedicated to Harry and Cedric, my one true HP [...]

JK Rowling vs RDR Books

Filed under harry potter | 2 Comments

I feel quite upset by this ongoing court battle. It’s awful that it has come to legal action at all. It is quite clear to me that RDR Books are the villains here, not Steve Vander Ark or Ms Rowling. The Harry Potter Lexicon was and is fine as a website, where no profit is [...]

Eight HP movies!

Filed under films, harry potter | 3 Comments

I am very excited to learn that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released in two parts. This is excellent news. The big difference about Deathly Hallows from the other books is it that virtually everything is essential to the plot of the books. No little subplots that you can easily take out [...]

Half-Blood Prince poster

Filed under harry potter | No Comments

So apparently this is the new movie poster:

I really hope this is a fake! That is way too dull to be a Harry Potter poster! What a lame tagline: “I’m safe with you, Harry” - no way. That cannot seriously be the poster. Someone’s having a chuckle!
[Update] in fact, i can prove it is fake: [...]

Wrock on!!

Filed under harry potter, music, television | No Comments

I am continuing to enjoy the Wizard Rock music i have found! I discovered that i really like Ministry of Magic which, as a band, is much more dance oriented, and have a few funny covers of well-known songs.
My favourite would be Here In Your Car, a parody of Here In Your Arms, because it [...]

Computer woes

Filed under computer, geeky, harry potter, music | 4 Comments

My precious computer (that i built myself) stopped working yesterday. It was fine in the morning, but when we came home in the evening it just wouldn’t turn on. Boohoo. We had a few power blips the previous night so i wonder if there was another one that blew the power supply. Tonight i have [...]

Rubik’s boohoo

Filed under geeky, harry potter, random | No Comments

I found a Rubik’s Cube of my partner’s and immediately decided that i must learn to solve it! I found some great video tutorials on youtube and was doing great until the cube just fell apart in my hands! Which made me feel bad obviously because it is my partner’s, but also because i was [...]

Holidays!

Filed under amusing, cosmology, ct5k, harry potter, work | 4 Comments

Heheh, it felt like Christmas Eve at work today. Most of us are away next week, so it was a very laid back atmosphere. We were meant to be hammering a test system and i kept logging quotes from Scroobius Pip, such as “Thou shalt not make some noise for Detroit” - “Thou shalt not [...]
