Thing 6

Just checking out flickr a bit more.... I love the mosaic tool, where it can make a picture of a face using lots of tiny little photos of faces in different colours and shades.

p.s. my teenagers have never heard of flicker! when I asked if they knew about it they said "you mean the horse?"

Tivo and other stuff

Well I was going to stop talking about my tivo until I noticed another comment on my blog. thanks for the interest dancing queen :)
Now that I have one that actually works, its great. My teenage kids love it, because they can set it to record obscure stuff or old movies that are on in the middle of the night, or put in their favourite actors, like Simon Pegg and Noel Fielding, and the tivo will find upcoming programs in the next 2 weeks with those actors in them. I like it because if I stay at my boyfriends place all weekend I dont care if he watches the footy or whatever, because my favourite shows are being recorded at home to watch later, and no more nagging from my 14 yr old to stay up till 11 to watch "american dad"

The other thing I am loving at the moment is that its almost spring! My peach trees have pink buds on them, my jonquils are flowering, my rose bushes are puttting out leaves and my tulips have burst through the soil :) I love living in a place with distinct seasons... there's always something to look forward to!

thing 13

I did this last week without realising it was one of the 23 things! When the guy came to install my tivo I asked if he had any trouble finding my house, and he said he typed my address into Google street views on his laptop, and it showed him my house, how to get there and what my house looks like.... cool! so I had a look for myself. Its taken on a wednesday, cos the garbage truck is in my street, and its from about 6 months ago, because my picket fence is not quite finished, it had around 10 pickets to go. So then I looked up my sisters house, then my boyfriends house etc.

p.s. I have a new tivo as the first one was faulty and it works great :)

The continuing saga of the tivo and thing 4

Well, I had the antenna guy out yesterday and I got my abc1 and abc2, but the reception is awful.... he said he will come back next week to extend my antenna another 1.8m but last night the reception was perfect..... what the????
Also, the tivo keeps shutting itself down and restarting every 10 mins, which is extremely frustrating! we ended up switching over to analogue! so I have another guy coming out this afternoon to see whats wrong with it.... they said on the phone I may have a faulty box..... Geez!

p.s. I have done thing 4
I posted a comment on EMW's blog on wednesday :)

23 things

So now I have done .... thing 1 read about 23 things....... thing 2 make a blog.... and thing 3 submit my blog url.... :)

first blog

Well here it is, my first post. Not sure what to write about, I guess some kind of a journal.

the last couple of weeks has been all about technology (or problems with it) I bought a TiVo unit a week and a half ago, and until yesterday it sat on my lounge room floor. Had problems getting internet service to my area. finally got a local guy who has provided wireless with the help of an antenna on my roof. I asked the electrician to make my tv antenna higher while he was up there, so my tv reception would be better, but I lost 10, abc1 and abc2! My tivo was connected yesterday and I got 10 back, but still no abc.
