I understand this so I must be a geek.

So I’ve downloaded and am now trying out Adobe Contribute 4. It’s rather good actually. You can post and edit websites (even with CMSs) and post to blogs including WordPress. This was posted using it.

After months of waiting UK users of iTunes can now download television programmes to their iPod. I personally think the catalogue of programmes is amazing ranging from Pimp My Ride to Lost.

How idiotic. When attempting to access my Hotmail through the Windows Vista only application ‘Windows Mail’ I get this message.

Seems that because of circumstances that Microsoft do not directly explain you can not access MICROSOFT’S OWN EMAIL SERVICE through MICROSOFT’S OWN EMAIL APPLICATION on THE NEWEST VERSION OF WINDOWS. What a load of Micropoo. I am half thinking of changing back to Gmail. How stupid. It’s insain. It half makes me think that they are beginning to dismiss Hotmail to make way for the full ‘live’ service as in having addresses like bill@live.co.uk than bill@hotmail.co.uk. Madness. Now I can’t read my email in a casual easy fashion.

Has to be one of the best albums I’ve ever bought. It goes from start to finish really quickly and is over before you know it. Not that it’s a bad thing because I never have time to sit there listening to a full album. Every track is good, none are boring or slow and everyone will have heard at least one track from it even if they don’t know who the band is. The album includes tracks such as Atlantis to Interzone and It’s No Over Yet as well as Golden Skans and Gravitys Rainbow. I’d defiantly buy the actual CD as it’s something worth keeping and a true musthave. Best album of 2007 without a doubt.
