What not to watch

Before going on a transatlantic flight, there are a few programs one should not watch. Although pertaining to be useful, BBC Horizon's 'Survivors Guide to Plane Crashes' had repeated shots of planes crashing (surprise!), and made for interesting dreams last night. It was very interesting - I will never toss my laminated safety card aside with such cavalier confidence again. Despite the potentially life-saving information, it was probably not the best idea to watch something so graphic.

Now all I need is a program on how to entertain a 14month old for 7 hours whilst they sit on your lap and won't stop wriggling. And no, he doesn't watch TV.....

Marking Time

globaljen.com has decided to implode, by way of pants hosting services and missing Perl modules. Frustrating. Just when I wanted to revive the blog. I can't be bothered with my hosting solution any more - they take 10 days to respond to support tickets, their servers are riddled with viruses, they've lost ALL my files on two occasions, and have changed hands 4 times in 4 years, with worsening support standards. And fewer Perl modules supported. What more can I say? And then of course I really couldn't be bothered to upgrade my MT installation, and recreate my CSS files and generally muck around with things for weeks on end. Call me lazy, but I have more fun playing trucks with my son!

So I have reverted to trusty old Blogspot, until I can get my DNS jiggered to point to my husband's hosting solution - they are great, have brilliant support, and will save us £20 per year. Bonus. Meanwhile I will mark time here until I can publish to the new host.

Speaking of time, Jeremy Clarkson's tirade about fancy schmancy watches is highly amusing..
