Update on the progress of the webs favourite colour. Its definetly a drab red/wine colour, which is pretty surprising – would have though a blue based on the sky and water shots or green as a lot of photo’s have grass. The wonders of the net, eh?

iTunes For Windows
Its rumoured that iTunes For Windows will launch next Thursday. I hope so – the pc software for the IPod is pretty poor next to iTunes.
Half-Life 2 Theft
Much has been made of the source code being stolen from Valve by hackers – story can be read here. Most ironic is that most of the users making a fuss probably have a copied Windows XP, Office XP (maybe even 2003 by now) and who knows what else. Fools.
Shak’s New BMW
Shak’s picked up a BMW – pics can be found in the gallery. The car looks lovely – well done matey.
IPod
When I bought an Ipod the first thing that struck me was the packaging. It was superb – the best I’d seen for any of my many gadgets. It makes no difference to the usefulness of the product but made me take value in the product. If you haven’t got an Ipod then you won’t know what I mean – unless you look at the piccies here.
If you really want to experience an Ipod for little or no cash (but a bit of effort) you could do worse than try this.
Champions Update
Fantastic – 1-1 draw with Panathinaikos away from home but annoyingly they were 5 minutes from an away win. Bugger, but great at the same time. Man U lost as well which shows just how well we played against Stuttgart and means Rangers are currently top of their league:

Champions League
Glasgow teams are playing yet again this week. Fantastic game for Celtic last night and a good 2-0 win. Rangers turn tonight with a tough away gamein Greece, but they’ve just scored – its 0-1 – the first time they’ve scored in Greece. Way-hey. Its half time and it couldn’t be going any better.
Of course by Saturday a Rangers win in the old firm derby is all that matters!
Stunt Doubles
Watching The Matrix trailer again, you can easily spot the stunt doubles especially here and here.
I know doubles are used in most stunts but I don’t like watching a movie and spotting the double with ease, especially when the ones above look more like Charlie Sheen than Keanu Reeves.
Appledore Work-In
Appledore Shipyard have started a sit-in to try and save their jobs. As with most ‘events’ these days, theres a blog too. Working in a shipyard myself I’ve seen the industry decline over the years. I can’t remember a year where redundancies haven�t been an issue. I hope Appledore can find a way forward but even though we’re an island nation, the demand for ships and the competition from abroad (including government subsidies) make it tough to justify the small number of yards that are still open in the UK.
Return of the King Trailer
Another day, another trailer – this time for Return of the King. Clickety-click for torrent file. Very sombre but sets the scene well for final film.
