Hmm, tough one:
1. Best friend’s stag party (and wedding, but that’s another day).
2. An impromptu piss-up, after innocently going for a KFC in Plymouth, with Lutz and Martin.
3. Going to Alton Towers for the first time.
4. Watching England beat Oz in Rugby World Cup final with a friend and his partner’s family at their house.
5. Walking with Alex in Scotland in hip-high snow.

Watching High Fidelity again last night (if you haven’t seen it – then make sure you remedy that situation soon) made me think that I should compile some top 5 lists.
What top 5 lists would you like to see?

Thought I’d give their new virtual OS a whirl.
Windows 7:
- download Google Chrome OS
- download and install VMWare Player
On my Mac I use Sun Virtualbox, instead of VMWare.
Create the following in a file (e.g: chromeos.vmx) in the same location as the .vmdk file:
.encoding = "UTF-8"
displayName = "Chrome OS"
guestOS = "other"
memsize = "512"
ethernet0.present= "true"
ethernet0.startConnected = "true"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:c5:da:60"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
usb.present = "true"
ide0:0.present = "true"
ide0:0.fileName="chromeos-image-999.999.32309.211410-a1.vmdk"
ide0:0.deviceType = "disk"
ide0:0.mode = "persistent"
ide0:0.redo = ""
ide0:0.writeThrough = "false"
ide0:0.startConnected = "false"
virtualHW.version = "3"
config.version = "8"
extendedConfigFile = "chromeos-image-999.999.32309.211410-a1.vmxf"
virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted"
sound.present = "FALSE"
floppy0.present = "FALSE"
tools.syncTime = "FALSE"
uuid.location = "56 4d d9 3f 9a 20 7c 60-a5 a2 cb 9e e8 c5 da 60"
uuid.bios = "56 4d d9 3f 9a 20 7c 60-a5 a2 cb 9e e8 c5 da 60"
cleanShutdown = "FALSE"
replay.supported = "FALSE"
replay.filename = ""
vmotion.checkpointFBSize = "16777216"
Open the .vmx file in VMWare Player.
I’ve updated my other site (see link on right =>) to use different shop-software. Sadly the WP-E-Commerce plugin was too riddled with bugs and the support is virtually non-existent from the company; the vast amount of support was from frustrated users.
I’m in the process of tidying up the graphics and CSS, but feel free to leave your feedback here.
It’s been a while since the last post. Some strange things have been going on with my site – somebody seems intent on trying to hack it – so I’ve been keeping a close eye on the logs.
I’m not so keen on updating the blog with personal news anymore, too many suspicious things going on since the Guardian Jobs website hack, where loads of CVs (and the information contained in them) were accessed.
Two dreams that I remember from last night:
- stabbed myself in the heart and fell to the floor, watching my blood run into a drain. Then everything went dark – the end.
- a recurrence of the alien ship and being chased by fireball dream.

Thursday – down to London to see friends. Watched Up! then finally met my best friend’s daughter at last. She’s a real cutie, with lots of smiles already at eight months.
Friday – flew to Bremen, met my friends’ new daughter – three months old. Lots of babies! Spent the rest of the time drinking and eating. Watched Bremen vs. Hoffenheim game in the local pub – Bremen won 2:0.
Monday – flew back and made my way into Oxford for two days. I read a lot of books and drank a lot of coffee in the coffee-houses.
Wednesday – met up with friends for a meal. Was supposed to play squash but got cancelled.
Thursday – dentist. All OK, though I have to stop chewing my cheeks. Back to Wales in the afternoon.
There.
