Digibox data recovery

E-bay search, mk2
Having disliked E-bay’s new search so much, I am pleased to see that things seem to have gone back to the old ways. Not completely, but enough that things are usable again 🙂 Well done E-bay for admitting when they messed up and sorting it.

Off to LK.
Well, I have hijacked some wireless in Heathrow to entertain me whilst I wait for my flight to Colombo. Apparently I get a stop over (the kind where you cant get off) in the Maldives, which is not quite the direct flight I asked for. Nevermind. 11hour flight… sucky, I hope I can get some…

Killing Joke
Went to see Killing Joke’s 25th anniversary gig at London’ Sheppard’s Bush Empire tonight, t’was bloody excellent! Sure, it was rather packed and I the chap in front of me looked unhappy with 110kg or me jumping about behind him, but hey, I had a great time! Sadly, on route to the gig, my dear…
