Flamingo Land
Yesterday, Mr & Mrs Bear with some non-bear friends went to Flamingo Land and had a thoroughly good time and a picnic.
It was slightly marred by the thoroughly lack lustre approach by most of the staff.
Greatest Show On Earth…
…and I missed it because I was at work.
Never mind, in this age of TV-On-Demand I should be able to watch it at my leisure when I get home.
So I watched the “highlight” which showed the drumming, the globe, the lighting of the torch and a lot of fireworks. All with a really, really bad commentary by “professional” commentators who came across like a boring person given the disco.
This hasn’t satisfied me so I decided to look at the TOD features. Unfortunately we still use the list of lists design. So would the Olympics be in News, Sport, or Entertainment? Also in there would it be under O for Olympics or B for Beijing? Considering every click took about 4 seconds it was painful.
In the end we watched Black Books on Demand.
Stack Overflow
Stack Overflow, the website that bears the same name as the podcast, has opened for private beta testing. I am honoured to be one of those beta testers. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to ask or answer a question as I don’t currently have any to ask, and everyone has already replied what I would replied to the topics that caught my eye.
[yes - this counts as a post just to let people know that I haven't forgotten about you all]
