Tweetdeck FTW!
ooooh my god. Tweetdeck I love you!
For those that don’t already know tweet deck is an air based app that lets you remotely blog, track tags and various other things from your desktop and it’s frickin Bo’ yeah!
Appologies to people following me (twitter.com/peter_gent) but it’s allowed me to pretty much spam to my hearts content (and ease).
I just wish there was a way to setup my windows so that they always appear in this swish layout every time I boot the PC.
New camera and new workings
I recently acquired from ebay a new canon d350 DSLR after relying for many years on my sturdy phone camera. Huzzah! – now I have to work out how the hell the thing works.
Perhaps you guys can suggest some good tutorials for me to brush up on my dslr skills?
In the meantime you can chck out my “experimental” photo sets on my flikr photo stream (to the right or http://flikr.com/photos/peter_gent. Hopefully I’ll be updating it with lots of pics from my travels across south america, or at least until it gets lost / stolen or I get mugged or kidnapped.
Ciao.
Documentary: Epic2015 how google will take over the world
A pretty interesting doc on googles rise to power and how it will force the conventional sources of media – like the NY times out of business.
quite interesting, and I like the music. It might be way out of date though.
edit: lol – seems like an april fools 
Becoming more dissaffected with lost *spoilers*
Like many people I’ve been watching the latest season of lost with great vigor after wondering how the hell they were going to sort out the time-traveling island connundrum or get back to the island.
But after watching last nights episode, courtesy of the pirate bay I’ve suddenly become a bit dissapointed or dissafected all over again.
Until now it seemed like they were really going to answer a lot more questions about the island – what is it, why can it travel through time and they manage to tell a story in a really uber way through flashbacks through time. I really got the sense that it was building towards some “god help us all” climax.
With last nights episode we basically got to see john locke doing his usual man gets humiliated and forced into doing a ritual of rights to appease the island and somehow widmore and ben becoming more “likable characters”.
Honestly I now I just don’t know anymore – series 4 and 5 have been largely better than 2 because they’ve had both distinct baddies and distinct goodies; and a clear sense of the plot building towards some major event.
Suddenly it’s gotten all soapy and fillerish with no new major plotline to catch onto after many of the oceanic 6 have gotten back onto the island.
Oh well, we can only hope it doesn’t choke and go back into the dark ages of series 2 and 3.
new blogging software – dearest sender
Just updated to a new piece of blogging software – deepest sender.
It seems kind better than the other firefox addon I was using; if only because the sidetray is on the left (del.icio.us side, might I add), rather than at the bottom of the page.
Pretty neat.

Rejection, rejection and more rejection
So i’ve spent the last few weeks writing a 1500 word essay on “the relationship between development and food security”. As it turns out the quality of my essay was shit and I haven’t been accepted onto the degree course. GAH
Now I have to do the access course for a year like some kind of plebion. meh. *angry*
Still, if I’m going traveling this year perhaps I should skip uni or whatever until sep 2010. But when I get out of there I’m gonna be like 29/30. What a load of BS. *sigh*
Oh well. For your reading enjoyment here’s the essay

Installing ubantu.
Just downloaded ubantu and burned it to disk.
Time to take a geek promotion
welcome to wordpress
So without further ado I’ve moved from squarespace to wordpress. What were the main reasons?
Mainly the astronomical costs – I was paying £11 per month for the advanced package just so I could have full control over the design elements. Pretty ludicrous when I only top 5 unique visitors a week (or a month).
Hmm.. I should probably work on updating the blog a bit more often though.
Ciao
