Had some free time yesterday so tinkered with Twitter. Never really used it much before but yesterday I managed to hook it into ‘motion’ so it automatically updates the status when the webcam detects movement.
After a bit of a headache I finally got my USB thermometer working on my Linux box and today I managed to hook that into Twitter as well so I will probably make a little cron script to update it every hour or so.
Had one of those ‘second glance’ encounters today, wow that felt nice.

Complete random post this one but after seeing an offer for the Complete Series of Dungeons & Dragons it was pointed out that the final episode ‘Requiem‘ was never actually made but rather sat in paper form on the writers bookshelf. It appears the wannabe Dungeon Masters have bugged the writer Michael Reaves some what so he’s released the script for the final episode for everyone to read.
I for one won’t be buying the DVD boxset as sometimes things are best just left as good memories as I’m sure it won’t be as enjoyable now i’m 30 (ish). BUT I will be reading Requiem when I have my lunch today.
Read this article on a box that allows you to stream HDMI over power and ethernet. Looks like a usefull bit of kit and would certainly be handy for me so I can watch V+ in my bedroom without having to pay for a sceond box. Just wonder how long until it’s released.

Apparently Britains human rights watchdog has written to the Home Secretary
over concers airport body scanners breach human rights as the images are too
intimate.
Now I for one don’t glee at the fact a complete stranger is looking at my
bits on a computer monitor
(Hell there’s enough videos on the net of that already) /joke BUT if it
means I spend a greater chance of reaching my foreign destination safely
then so be it. So what happens if they are not installed because of this
concern and there is another attack which could possibly have been prevented
by the scanners? What about the casualties human rights? No doubt there is
another ‘watchdog’ who looks after them!. These are unpredictable times
we’re living in and how would these campaigners feel if a friend or relative
died because they played a part in removing body scanners?
You got to a car lot and the most important questions you ask are
How big is the boot?
What tax band is it in?
Does it have iso fix?
I would prefer a diesel!
Long gone are the days of worring how quickly it will take me 0-60 and back
again ha.
