So I’m wondering why I can’t connect to my ftp server to upload stuff, and then I notice my background and mood theme aren’t working…
Turns out that there was a blackout at the data centre where some of the servers are and a generator then caught fire.
It seems that my web hosting has a very exciting time of things.

My eyes have felt swimmy since after lunch and I have no idea why. I don’t think it’s my glasses, because I’ve had them for a while and they’ve been fine. Hmm.
Yesterday, I went to Walsingham and then to Cromer to see the sea, the lifeboat, the pier and eat ice cream.
Mmm ice cream.
What else? I should make a list of stuff I should get round to doing.

So there’s this vineyard in South Africa called Stormhoek. And they have this thing called “100 Geek Dinners in 100 Days“.
So at some conference in London, the president of Stormhoek, the guy that does the cartoons for the labels and a non-drinker get chatting. Eventually the idea is formed to have one of these geek dinners, sponsored by this wine company, hosted by this non-drinker. And the dinner may well be for non-drinkers too.
Ehehehehehe.
Also, yay cartoons

Somehow I only seem to make new icons in batches of… a couple of hundred.
O_o
Anyway, more icons.

Today I acquired new black trousers and baked delicious, gooey, chocolate brownies. 😀
And also, more hair dye as where my hair used to be blue/pink/purple/whatever is turning lighter and lighter brown.
On a random note, what is your favourite cover song?

A telephone bracelet has been developed by Orange and Medical Mobile for Alzheimer’s sufferers in France. It seems to be basically a watch containing GPS and mobile phone technology that keeps track of the patient and alerts the relevant people when they wander out of where they’re supposed to be – a bit similar to a system implemented in a nursing home that I read about except this would allow the patient out of a nursing home and down to a local shop perhaps rather than just confining them to the home. Plus there’s the added bonus of being able to talk to the person through the bracelet rather than having to peg it to wherever they are.
This is a really cool idea and could probably be used not just for Alzheimer’s patients, but for any vunerable person who might get confused and disoriented when out and about.
