Rant Time AGAIN.

Currently the Rugby World Cup is in full swing in New Zealand. Here in the UK we are privileged to be able to watch all the matches via Independent Television. Meaning we don't have to pay up-front.

ITV provide a free service called ITV Player allowing us to watch whatever, on catch-up. For those who work odd shift's ie, me, this service is invaluable.

Now, I understand and tolerate the adverts, after all something has got to pay for this service, but at least get it working right, poor picture quality, reset after reset, cutting out, it's really not good enough. If you don't have the technology to run these systems, then please don't bid for the coverage, leave it to those who know how to do it.

If your not sure how to sort this out, ring the experts, the BBC.

Short of giving up my job and getting up at Oh Christ Thirty, so I can watch the games live, your service is my only option.

SORT IT OUT.

Rant over AGAIN.

Jupiter is in full view again. It's the bright thing to the east when the sun goes down.

Found this neat video of it.

Thought this was cool, never heard of it before.

Yes its true, 45 Years Ago Today, Star Trek Beamed Into Our Lives ...



For me the best space sci-fi ever made.

My other half is interested in ancient archaeology and was showing me some Egyptian hieroglyphs.

It would seem they had helicopters back then
