School Sports Day

A few photos from the boys school sports day that took place in July.

The participants were split into teams that consisted of children from each year in the school, the idea being that the older children have to help the younger ones. Each team had to compete in a number of events (about 10 I think). Each event has four teams competing, each representing one of the school "houses", Griffyndor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Of course not - they're named after local parks.

How Many Folk Singers Does It Take To Change a Light Bulb?

Two. One to change the light bulb, and one to stick a finger in one ear and sing about how good the old one was...

One of the things that I really don't like about Facebook is the constant changes to the interfacing features. They've just removed RSS feeds from the settings section, so posts to my Blogger blog don't automatically post to Facebook as well.

Admittedly the automation hasn't been working too well recently, but if the post didn't turn up in Facebook I found that I could always force an update into Facebook via the Settings Link.

From today Facebook now displays this message where the RSS update section used to be:
"Imported Stories:
The Imported Stories feature is no longer available. Most of the sites supported by this feature now allow you to publish stories to Facebook directly from the site".

This in turn has forced me to revamp my blog page to use a new template layout design, since the old template that I was using won't display the 'share to various social network' buttons at the bottom of each blog post.

Time to stop grumbling and try pressing the new buttons.

Clean bedsheets - now for a fight with the duvet to make the bed...

Inception

Went to see Inception last night. "No Spoilers" other than to say this film goes into Phillip K. Dick territory, and messes with your head regarding what's real, and what isn't. The Matrix and Total Recall spring to mind, but this film's a lot darker.
Went to test our current state of reality with a couple of pints in Rigby's afterwards.
impworks has produced a review - but watch out - "spoilers!"
