Hello all you hundreds of Mark Owen fans! Little did I realise, when posting those lyrics, that so many people would end up here. Although this is the first site Google comes up with. Cooool.
The lyrics are in Tuesday July 29th's entry. They will be archived here. If they've fulfilled your search request desires then why not leave a message on the tagboard? Or if they haven't you could leave a message of annoyance. Either way it'd be nice to know something about the hordes of visiting people. :)
With all this interest I feel especially bad that I couldn't figure out the indecipherable bridge. Oh well...
For regular readers, maybe you want to know what I've been up to since Saturday. Hmmmm.
Obviously much of the weekend was taken up with watching the German F1 GP. I don't seem to have watched the qualifying for ages, what with Rob's trips, so I did that for a change. And in the evening Rob came round, having returned from his holiday. Which was nice.
The GP itself was pretty exciting. The first corner incident meant that a few unusual faces got the chance to shine. David Coulthard actually did a good job for a change (it irks me that he's done so badly lately, since I've been a particular fan of his for so long). He finished second. Hooray! There were some good overtaking moves, and of course that exciting camera on a wire that Mark and I had been looking forward to seeing again so much. Excellent. :)
It's been kind of hot, lately. Too hot for me. I haven't managed to get much work done. I feel like I am accomplishing very little. But... I dunno, there are good things happening too. I can sort of block out the panic that I won't get my dissertation done with the good things.
I've had another present from my wishlist. That's exciting. And, ooooh, there's another service I can perform for people out there searching for things..! And here it is...
Many many people come here wanting to know how you can run Beneath a Steel Sky under Windows XP. The short answer to this has always been that you can't. But this is no longer the case! For many years an excellent bunch of people have been releasing a constantly evolving utility called ScummVM. Although this has primarily ensured that old Lucasarts games will run with modern PC's, they've worked with the excellent folk at Revolution to make sure that Beneath a Steel Sky is included in the latest update. Not only that, but Revolution have released BASS as freeware, so you can download ScummVM and BASS and enjoy what is one of the best adventure games ever made! Can things get any better than that? Hooray!
Basically you need to install ScummVM, point it to the directory containing BASS on your hard drive, and enjoy. If you're running Windows you need the download entitled "Windows Installer (1.0M Win32 .exe)". The BASS download is further down the page - you can choose either the floppy version or the CD version (which is way better because it has voices!).
That's about all I have to say...!
I have been mostly.... WATCHING (TV): german grand prix (itv); neighbours (bbc 1) / READING: a conspiracy of paper (david liss) / LISTENING: radio 1 / PLAYING: star wars galaxies; beneath a steel sky
