Gina tagged me so here goes.

How much space is left on your TIVO?

Tivo, in this television backwater of a country? – they don’t even broadcast in widescreen yet!

Have you ever bought a DVD of a tv series and if so which one?

No.  And I have no particular desire to……

What was the last tv show you watched before reading this message ?

I saw a bit of New Zealand getting dicked by Aussie in the cricket (again dammit!)

List five shows you won’t miss:

Holmes, Oprah, Eastenders, Coronation Street and The Bill (dumbass me thought it meant “you wouldn’t miss if they went!”) My real answers should have been:

Scrubs, CSI, Stargate SG-1, One Network News and Everybody loves Raymond but even then if they all went off air I wouldn’t kill myself over it…….

I shall tag:

expressionengine is installed and seems to be working!  Once the files were uploaded it only took about 10 minutes to get going and I’ve tried submitting comments with success smile

Excuse the layout but it’s the least of my worries at the moment wink

Stay tuned.

It’s been a week since my last update….. The reason for that is that I haven’t been able to log in to my control panel 🙁 Some very strange things were happening that I eventually tracked down to a cookie issue which was than tracked down to zonealarm – sheesh!

I’m back now and I’ve been busy so expect a couple of updates tomorrow, with pictures!

ciao

eighty

Well I’ve just ponied up the 80 bucks for expressionengine and now all I have to do is find some time to actually do the work of upgrading/transferring.  I’ll let you know when to expect disrupted service smile I don’t really mind spending the money – pMachine pro cost me 50 bucks and I have got over two and a half years use out of it (since here actually)

When I upgrade I’ll do a couple of things differently.  The major thing is that I won’t transfer the membership data over – I don’t require membership to post here and so any membership details have probably been forgotten now.  What I will be doing however is opening up membership at the new site and then removing the need for captchas for logged in members.  That way you’ll have the option on what you want to do…….

Now all I have to do is find 80 USD……..
