1Kg of jellybeans in 4 days cannot be good for you :|

Managed to finish A Brave New World, wonderful book, highly recommend everyone reads it, I throughly enjoyed it.

Starting White Teeth next, I really am several years behind everyone in terms of reading material.
This game is great, kind of disturbing but fun. My high score is 1799.96.

Ecofoot, I suck - we need 2.9 planets if everyone acts like me. So the rest of you need to walk everywhere and not eat or buy anything.
Thank you.

So, like there is Java and .Net and there are Jedi and Sith. There is the good and virtuous, all knowing and there is the evil, arrogant know it alls.

So like are there a bunch of Jedi and Sith running round just doing the job, not really caring about the whole good - evil bit of it. More interested in the most efficient way of getting craft out of swamps and carving people in two with a sabre.

A bit random, a bit geeky.
Adobe release pdf. Erm I'm not sure how I save everything as pdf, but I'm sure it is good news.

Assuming I forgot to mention, I brought Holly Throsby's Under the Town, a bit of a random itunes purchase after downloading a free song. It's a sporadic listen, although whenever I put it on I can't remember why I don't listen to it more often.
Incremental - going mad bit by bit.

Alcohol is a friend who starts out as a caring friend and about 3 am turns into a 6 foot 8 skin head who kicks the crap out of you.

Since buying a car I've started listening to the radio again.
In an attempt to find a replacement for bfm I've been bouncing round the dial a little and I've found fbi and 2ser.
Both are great, as a substitute for the sunday jazz show, it turns out there is a wounder show on the ABC Classic FM on both days of the weekend - huzzah!

Adium version 1.0 has been released and amazingly it looks even more polished, which is just insane.

Take a highly polished thing, that you can't polish anymore, then, well polish it more, wonderful.

We went to Lost and Found Orchestra, well bloody ages ago. We both really liked it, I was somewhat unsure about it, but it was wonderful.
I brought Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion, 2nd Edition on Richard's recommendation. Have only had a quick flick at it but is looking like a great buy.

On the Richard book front, I finished Penny Arcade Volume 2: Epic Legends of the Magic Sword Kings! a present that turned up over Christmas, a great book.

I love Tycho and Gabe, I don't have anywhere near enough time to play games now - not because I'm all busy with work and to old for life, but because I'm disorganized.
Anyway, the book was great, interesting to see how there style has changed since 2001 and some of the thoughts behind the comics.

cool.
I've brought a car.
It's a very boring Holden Astra.
It's my first vehicle in over 8 years and first car in god knows how long - It's also the first car I've ever brought new and the first automatic I've ever brought.
I can also run it on ethanol, which is wonderful. If I run low on booze I can siphon the car or equally i can run it on vodka if I can get to a gas station.

We have been using Bill Granger's new book Everyday, well pretty much everyday for the last two weeks, its great.

It lovely and the recipes, so far, have been piss easy. My only concern is that Bill seems to be everywhere at the moment and I wonder if there will be a backlash against him, it would be a shame, his books are wonderful.

If you don't have it, you really should buy it.
Elephunk by the Black Eyed Peas, its pretty lack luster - this is why you can't resell electronically brought music.
Then again maybe it will get better with some more listening.

Greatest Hits Vol. 1 by Dragon, its downloading now so not really sure, it has the song I want so one would assume I'm going to enjoy it.
