Random Musings - Day #219

Sometimes I surprise myself. Despite the things going on in my life, my sub-conscience is quite positive. I dreamed that I was telling someone

For every one, two people that have a bad life like me, there's another one, two, three, four people that things worse than you

There's probably going to be something made of this. But there are a lot of twitter results coming up for camtweet... specifically this one

Briefly, Susan Boyle has had one too many makeovers as now she looks like Anthea Turner

Irony strikes as the man who appears in the swine flu adverts (catch it, bin it, kill it) has got swine flu himself.

Candy
The Cameo song, Candy seems to have a dance for it...

Two steps right, two steps left, two steps back, one step forward, one step back, turn left... repeat

In sad news, Renato who had a Christmas #1 in 1982 with Renee on "Save your love" and of course song on the old just one cornetto advert, died from a brain tumour

A side note check out some of the best remembered 80s adverts

At the recent world swimming championships, 43 world records were broken. Partly due to the controversial polyurethane suits. It's amazing how difficult it is to get on. I heard rumours it takes over half-hour to put the suit on. But it does work.

RDP can be made more with secure sockets.

Ever wondered why the administrator account disappears when another account is created. This explains how to get around it.

Was reminded that former Flippiano President Corazon Aquino died recently.

It's funny that someone said, 'the more free time you have, the less work you get done'.

OPP stands for Other People's property and not Ontario Provincial Police.

One of the main perl websites, perlmonks got hacked and the implications could be serious in that users may have the same account set up for the perl repository, pause.

And finally, good old Dickie Davies get a mention on msn

An amazing story as it turns out as Catriona Matthew won the women's British Open. What made it amazing was she only gave birth to a second girl 11 weeks old at ripe age of 39 and was also caught in a fire in a hotel the previous week.
I was a bit curious about her playing partner on the final round, Christina Kim who likes to wear berets backwards. With her pigtails, she look a bit like cammy (or to be more exact a cross between cammy and chun li). She's a got a twitter page.

The UK singles chart is turning into a merry-go-round as the top 3 is the same as last week but in a different order and certainly not in the order expected. Having got stuck at #3 last week, Black eyed peas climb to the top displacing JLS at #2 whilst Mr Hudson and Kanye West fail to improve their debut entry at #2 last week as they slip to #3.

It's funny whilst waiting for a bus, I started to retrance those dance steps that I saw on youtube. Well unbeknown to me, a couple of kids were looking at me practising and wanted to know what/how I was doing that. Made me think if I were younger or more to the point why didn't do dancing sooner?

Well that's it for the John the baptist of British ladies tennis as Anne Keothavong messes up her knee and misses the rest of the year. She's done really well to be the first women to make top 50 for a long time and with the future looking promising (i.e. Laura Robson and Heather Watson), there's possibly better to come. I fear Keothavong's ranking though. She'll probably fall outside the top 100 as a result. Look what happened to Maria Sharapova. She fell from being #1 at the French Open 2008 to being out of the top 100 after a long term shoulder injury in March 2009.

I didn't know ladies golf was... cool? Apparently Natalie Gublis, a winner on the LPGA tour has been on FHM. I've only really heard of Michelle Wie who I thought would be dominating the sport by now.

I've been looking at tents as I have to go a conference in a field. go-camping is a good start. But having a head-scratch about tents. I've seen reviews and those tents that claim to be 2-man tents should be for 1. Likewise, 3-man tents should be for 2 and 4-man tents should be for 3, etc. The lightest tents are the quickdraw ones but are notoriously hard to put away. This video shows it can be easily be put away given a good technique.
