Saw this advert on TV for the first time today, kinda liked it, but it really isn’t that great. Is Star Wars being overly exploited?

I got a cool new Ipod nano for free

January 25, 2012 By: Govvy Category: Ipod, Technology

A while back I got an email from Apple saying my old first generation 2GB Ipod Nano had a faulty battery and I can send it to them to get fixed. I wasn’t too sure if it was worth it.

When I was passing the mac store in December I asked is it worth sending it in for a battery change. They told me, I don’t need to pay any postage, it will either; come back brand spanking new or they will send the latest equivalent model.

Well yesterday I got back a brand new silver 8GB Ipod nano which has a radio player and Nike running tech on it. Now that’s not a bad return for what I thought was only going to be a battery change!

It’s one of those days again

January 06, 2012 By: Govvy Category: People, Personal

I have no idea what goes on in other people heads, but when someone starts shouting at you and you don’t understand him, what on earth is going on? I really am at a loss when one person thinks he is in the right and correct all the time even when he isn’t.

Top that with the swearing, directed insults and insults to my family. All i asked for was a key to a room! There is no form of hierarchy here, people should be treated as equals, but one person clearly sees himself above all others.

Other times he was just talk on and on, and nothing good is rarely said, it’s all bad this, bad that, this person done this, he did that!

My question to others who would read this, how would you deal with a man who is a control freak, believes he is always right, is clearly argumentative and do I really have a hope in hell with dealing with a person of this kind?

I heard this song on the radio awhile back in the car, I loved it, so I have to share with the world.

Wealth Abroad Inc (spam)

December 21, 2011 By: Govvy Category: Internet, Spam

it’s back again, I’ve blocked about 20 different types of email address, dam it’s annoying, I wonder how many other people have a problem with it, mind you, I need an update to my email client maybe.

DC Universe Online now has free play.

December 04, 2011 By: Govvy Category: DC Comics, Games, Internet

I downloaded this game onto my PS3, not a bad game I must say, but the problem is getting into the server to play the thing. SOE could learn a thing or two about server-chains for the user base like Blizzard have for Warcraft.

I created my character, charged and destroyed my way through a ship controlled by Brainiac.  Once out of the ship which I was held captive I ran rampage following quests and missions. If you have play Star Wars Galaxies like I have you might understand the game engine. It runs between open city space and a large collection of instances. Very addictive and probably not the best game for me to be playing. But enjoyable.

Some of the missions do seem buggy and there does seem to be some lag in areas. The only thing which is broken and needs fixing is that the trophies you see in the playstation interface list. It doesn’t seem to be working at present and I do rather like that feature on the PS.

 

more spam blacklisted

I find it interesting that a fair few people like to see where the spam comes from, if it is spam or not, so I have added these emails to my blacklist for those who are curious.

The Last Supper eggs or bread?

November 03, 2011 By: Govvy Category: Paintings, Personal

The Last Supper

I saw a program on Leonardo the other day on the BBC and I see how much of a perfectionist he was. I am sure he knows his history on his subjects too, which brings me to the Last Supper.

The painting depicts Jesus with his fellow aposols during the passover dinner, so why is bread on the table? I consider this and I think eggs are a more logical opinion. As Jews would not eat bread during a passover dinner.

I do wonder how many other people would consider this or if anyone ever has.

I don’t know who they are and why they think I want their dam emails, I’ve just blacklisted and was wondering how many other people have been spammed by them.

BlackBerry Curve 8520

October 29, 2011 By: Govvy Category: Technology

I got this phone last month and it’s not a bad phone, the battery isn’t that good know. Constant use of the phone throughout the day really can drain it.

I had to replace a Nokia 5610 and that was a good phone as it was getting old and slowly dieing on me.

I got the blackberry for the organiser more and that the fact it’s a lot cheaper than an Iphone. I like the way I can get emails but even that app isn’t that brilliant, the emails have to arrive through the blackberry service so you can’t use true STMP protocols.

Speaking of apps, they gave away two free apps in the store and frankly, the game sucked, couldn’t read the text it was so small and Drivesafe.ly app? I don’t know what that was suppose to be, didn’t do anything other than take up space.

The are little decent apps for the phone and although it serves a purpose I can’t see it lasting as long as my previous phone.
