The most amazing was the story of Project Orion a mad idea to make a spaceship as large as an ocean liner powered by nuclear explosions. Strangely, there are still people who believe in this idea and want to see the project through.

I managed to get Gallery installed today and it's setup with a few albums. After a trial of a time with chained and ZIP I got it upgraded to a version which works with Mambo. More of a struggle is getting Gallery to talk to MoveableType so that I can add pictures as when I want to my blog.

Something fixed, something else broken. My video. After months of not taping things there seems to a be a glut of things I want to see. Trying the video and a few tapes and it seems is given up the ghost. So, do I replace it with another tape device or go for a DVD recorder. I must admit I'm tempted by the Philips DVDR70 device. Maybe at last an end to all those bulky tapes...

One plus point is that the local council replaced missing re-cycling bin, stolen two weeks ago. Although I hate to do it this one needs the house number painted on it. Parochial I know but this is the second one that has gone walkabout and I intend to keep this one for a while....

Things are going well with my site. It's almost complete in terms of structure, just needs more content and photographs and a daily update to the blog.

It's a long weekend this weekend. I may go to the local County Show and see the animals....
