24 Hour Binge @ Cricketers 20th Sept 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Si-man) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:33:00 +0000

Once again 24 HB played the cricketers to a very receptive audience.

It was a great gig, with some of-the-cuff songs and the odd acoustic classic thrown in, the pub did the lads proud with their singing along. Magic.

24 Hour Binge Puzzle Hall Sowerby Bridge

Playing as a four piece, with Evil Ellis standing in on Bass. Or put another way, Jason Kaberry and his travelling band of musicians :)

I definitely recommend the Puzzle Hall Inn, both as a venue and an Ale House. 6 top notch beers perfectly served. Hmmm.... beer

Big thanks to Mick for standing in on the vocals at the last minute and to some of the locals that stepped in to save the gig. A good night was had by all.

24 Hour Binge @ The Cricketers

20th March 2008: Nearly half a tonne of rocking mayhem took to the world's smallest stage(tm) for some full on party tunage. Playing the best of Live After Death, No Sleep 'Till Hammersmith & If You Want Blood... they only stopped due to thirst. Some quality real ales were harmed during the making of this gig.

Leeds Beer Festival 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Si-man) — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:47:00 +0000

A cracking day out starting with the Leeds Beer festival in Pudsey. A quick train into Leeds followed by a crawl around a few pubs in the centre, including Whitelocks. A curry and the last train home and a perfect result.

The Graffiti Train

OK. So it's well known that I like Macs. Since switching to OS X a couple of years ago I come to love the experience my little Mini has brought. So much so, that I now have the new aluminium iMac. Eventually, over time, I've come to realise that some of the bad experiences I've had with computers aren't necessarily a pc problem, they are more to do with the operating system I've been running. I've been around since Windows 3.1 and have been exposed to Windows 95, 98, ME, Windows 2000 and XP. I've had plenty of problems, partly due to the fact I'm not a full time Microsoft Certified Engineer and partly due to the complete lack of usability inherent in the system: Here are some of the memorable: Using DOS, e.g networking 2 computers, was a challenge and the results were always hit and miss. Trying to use System Restore on ME was also a low point, because it never did what it claimed it could do. It would only restore if there was nothing wrong. As soon as you needed it, up popped the error messages. Formatting my hard drive and then realising this now means I can no longer use the Windows CD, because I don't have any CD drivers left on my computer, is a quality kick-in-the-nuts that I'd prefer not to repeat. However, there is one experience in Windows that beats all the rest. It's the one where you keep your troublesome (and expensive) virus software up-to-date, run Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware daily, and then look in your program folder to see a load of software you didn't know you had installed. After googling their names you realise that they are spyware and other such malware, put there by other people, via the internet, for their benefit. How can they violate me like this? And to top it off, the virus software pops up constantly to say that my trial is nearly over and I need to purchase it to receive upgrades. This after spending £50 on it a few weeks earlier.

Thankfully, these days are over. Or so I thought. Unfortunately for me, I have to use a laptop for work running Windows XP. My internet explorer has been highjacked and my homepage has been directed elsewhere. There is nothing I can do about it. All the options are greyed out, the evil homepage is locked. Tinkering with settings does nothing. I've searched for a solution, but most suggestions involve downloading several bits of software and rebooting from now until christmas. More software for this crap? I think I'll just leave it. Like a train covered in graffiti, I'll just have to learn to live with the run down experience and stop expecting too much. It's only Windows after all. I mean, what would be the point of clearing it up? You just know that someone will come along and mess it up all over again.

Hardly an Express

noreply@blogger.com (Si-man) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 14:55:00 +0000

National Express now run the trains that run the length of the country and if you're travelling from the north, the only train to London. They won the franchise over the mainstay GNER. So what's changed? I'm typing this via the free wifi that is now enabled throughout the train. Is it any good? Well, it's hardly an 'express': more of a dialup 56Kb. I suspect that National Express have missed a cruicial bit of marketing here. Didn't it occur to ANYONE?

It was definitely a belter this year. The atmosphere in the Gasworks was incredible: all tribute to Max for running a great club. Even the bar staff had some time off around midnight to enjoy the party. Here's the first set of pictures. There are plenty more to come. I'd handed my camera around to my friends and they set about taking shots of pretty much everyone in the club. I'm loving the shot of 24 Hour Binge - hey look, I'm on tv!
