Poker for idiots...

Just saw this add on television... it is for some poker website. It showed two men standing up in a warehouse kind of environment... there is a poker table between then and there is a dealer sitting at the table about to deal one last hand and the boys are obviously waiting to see the result of the card. Around this table are the audience.. a smouldering hot woman (ie - normal looking but with good lighting and 4 pints of makeup) is biting her lip in anticipation.

Come on... did you look at this add and think "I want to play poker online!" Some people will actually fall for this advert.

Sad...

Here be dragons!

I was looking into browsers, as you do and I came across this browser called SeaMonkey. In the early days Mozilla Firefox was community driven. As in the community wrote and maintained it. However then the project got to the size that Mozilla branched off into a more commercial project called Mozilla Firefox. There were a core bunch of people that stuck with the community based version however and called the browser SeaMonkey. I believe that they initally considered calling the project Buttmonkey but changed it. Even I think that that was a good idea.

Side note: in the browser, type in about:mozilla in the address bar and hit return.. Weird ah!

Second side note: in the browser type in about:config. Go here to get access to the internal settings of your Mozilla Firefox browser. FYI - you mess up these setting you could mess up to a certain degree your browser.

2012 - 4th April - Samsung TV!!!!

Christmas came! And I don't mean Denise Richards' character in The World Is Not Enough (only a true Bond fan will get that). What I actually mean is that we got a fantastic gift of a brand new Samsung television from Mart! You know Mart was born on the 25th December! Hmmmm....

But the new television is absolutely amazing. Thin as a wafer, crisp as a the air on a frosty January morning and as multifunctional as a Letherman in McGyvers hands. Within moments we had gotten rid of our fat ass CRT mega screen and replaced it with this sexy Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones fans) of LEDs....

awww... you're sad because you do not have a brand new television Game Of Thrones' Emilia Clarke? 

Of course Mart kindly supplied us with a Media Center laptop which we connected up the new TV, we connected Sky (which we though would have been broken on disconnecting it - but it worked) and we connected up my beautiful Xbox 360!

Everything is great, technology rocks! Thanks Mart and Marielle!

Wesport Woods Hotel

Myself and Linda are not married. We're working on it though. We called around to a few hotels doing the whole scoping them out thing and checking prices. This hotel however, the westport woods, was slow in getting back to us. This sucked because it was one of our favorite hotels for various reasons. So we were thinking that they dropped the ball big time and Linda wrote to them kinda complaining and kinda kust asking what's up. This time they called us back straight away. They said they were really sorry and offered us a night for free with the kids. So we accepted of course.
