Daylight


If I am right I think the shortest day is less than a week away and then the nights will finally start to get shorter.

End of year

So the end of the year is fast approaching!

Has it been a good year?

I for one am not sure?

But a lot has happened this year some good some bad.

There has been some good books, tv,DVD's, holidays and food.

L and lies

It would appear that L had been laying to me, it's sad when you find this sort of thing out, and it does open ones eyes to just how one can be deceived and also how people can deceive.

What benefit L got from lying to me I have yet to work out.

I suppose that this is all part of the human condition.

Reading

Still reading books when I get time, the thing is at this time of year there never seems to be a lot of free time.

Website Updates

My main website Dirk Maggs Productions is as you will know from reading this blog being rebuilt after backups of backups not working and all that sort of stuff, one of the things that I have yet to work out is how to make sure that when its complete that the site can correctly be found, I have not yet worked out how to set up the web direct on my web host I am hoping that it will be just as easy as it was on the other hosting site I used to have.

Its not something that I have to worry about now, as the rebuilding of the site is going slow and at the rate of progress I think it will be this time next year before the site is fully back together again.

blogs

I have just seen how many blog entry's I have done 1266!

which is an awful lot from someone who does not have a lot to say.

Website updates

Did some work on my database driven Dirk Maggs website, for the first time in many weeks as I had some free time.

The site has a lot work left to be carried out on it, and so far I can not see it being finished until late 2012, unless I get some free time from somewhere.

Reading

I have finished the Clive Cussler book that I spoke about the other day, and for a fun read it was good, unfortunately the end of the book to me felt a bit rushed, but don't let that put you off, if you want some entertainment for a few hours then this could be a book for you.

Bad news

The bad news is that BlogPress still crashes if used in offline mode, and to add to the bad news the update still has not appeared on the apple store why?

Reading

Currently reading the following book, in fact I only have about twenty pages left its called Crescent Dawn and it's written by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler, I suspect that most of it was written by Dirk as it does read differently to a Clive written book.

As a story for entertainment it's great stuff, sadly it's something that could never be filmed as the costs for some of the set pieces would just be too great, it would I think work real well as a radio show, so if I had the odd 20k I could always commission it, you can guess who my producer and director and adapter would be?

Yes your right!

Dirk Maggs would be my choice, that is if I can get him away from his drums or the kitchen!

Anyway back to the book, it's a good read if you just want some simple fun entertainment with the characters written large and the scenery that is great and an eye opener, I really liked the very first opening scene and would so love to see it in audio and the big screen.

BlogPress

Well it's a bit strange in that I had to reinstall most of the apps on my iPad and among them was BlogPress and guess what?

It all appears to be working under ios5 it's the same version so I am not too sure just what's going on with it all, but hey it's working.
