I've been pretty anxious (I think that's the word - worried about something with nothing really to say what it is) recently. It seems to be getting worse over time, and I get a big panicy once in a while. I'm pretty sure it's mostly cos I'm bothered over work and the fact that there's never anyone else around to talk to really. Really tired at the moment as well, which is partly due to not having slept well (not entirely new, but back to being quite bad again) and not getting out to do anything. Not getting out to do anything is mostly because there's nothing that I really want to do, or feel that I can/should do.

On the up side, I've had some neat ideas for stuff at work, which is actually related to what I'm meant to be doing, so that seems pretty neat really.

It was my birthday last week and I went out for something to eat with Julian - Simon finally turned up, too, so that wasn't to bad. On the Friday afterward, I took up Matt's offer of popping in to Google for lunch and at his repeated insistence (yeah, yeah, I know I'm bad) I gave him a copy of my CV to submit to them. Monday, someone from Google contacted me to ask when it'd be possible to talk. So... I've let them know and we'll see how things go I guess.

It's not like I'm going to be leaving this job instantly, but whilst it's all very interesting they've essentially got us over a barrel at the moment - we can't leave if we want to see any money at all if the company's bought up. On the other hand, however, there's the issue that the administrators are paying us and, touch wood, are paying us on time, which is a huge plus really. To be honest, it's the barest minimum you'd expect from a company you're working for really, but over the last year I think my expectations have been lowered considerably. The phrase 'we'll tell you something when there's something to tell' becomes tedious after months and makes you wonder what on earth is going on if there's no progress worth talking of being made. Obviously that becomes more worrying at the moment because the administrators can effectively give up running the company as a going concern at any point.

Had a strange dream about seeing some friends - not people I know, or anyone that I know from telly or whatever, these were entirely new people - and their families and feeling incredibly like a fish out of water because their outlook and situation was quite alien to what I knew. There's a plus in this in that at even in my dreams I'm not blinkered to there being people who are quite different. There's a minus in that I felt far more awkward than I usually do.

A few mornings ago I woke up very early and had lost Sam. Foolishly, I decided that I was ok with that, and didn't sleep at all well after that and woke up feeling pretty awful. Needless to say, I tried to keep myself away from people most of the day - which is easier when you work from home and there's less chance of snapping at people. Not that I'm as bad as I've been in the past, but I know what I'm like and at least I know to deal with it.

Graeme's on holiday for 3 weeks whilst he inconsiderately goes and gets married. So, I'll be on my own pretty much for tools issues. Doesn't bother me too much as I know most of the systems very well - hopefully the ones that Graeme knows well won't fall apart .

Watched "Falling Down (1993)Crime, Drama, ThrillerWilliam (D-FENS) just wants to get home to see his daughter on her birthday. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be going right for him. First there's the traffic jam, then the unhelpful Korean shopkeeper who "doesn't give change". D-FENS begins to crack and starts to fight back against the every day "injustices" he encounters on his journey home. The film has a story running in parallel about a desk-bound cop who is about to retire. He's retiring for his wife's sake, and obviously isn't happy about it. The cop tracks down D-FENS and in the final scene.....Falling Down" yesterday, which was pretty good actually. Reminds me that I should watch "The Game (1997)Action, Adventure, Mystery, ThrillerNicholas Van Orton is a very wealthy San Francisco banker, but he is an absolute loner, even spending his birthday alone. In the year of his 48th birthday (the age his father committed suicide) his brother Conrad, who has gone long ago and surrendered to addictions of all kinds, suddenly returns and gives Nicholas a card giving him entry to unusual entertainment provided by something called Consumer Recreation Services (CRS). Giving up to curiosity, Nicholas visits CRS and all kinds of weird and bad things start to happen to him.The Game" again. Watched the first episode of FlashForward (2009, ABC)Drama/Science-FictionA mysterious event causes nearly everyone on the planet to simultaneously lose consciousness for 137 seconds, during which people see what appear to be visions of their lives approximately six months in the future - a global "flashforward". A team of Los Angeles FBI agents, led by Stanford Wedeck (Vance) and spearheaded by Mark Benford (Fiennes) and his partner Demetri Noh (Cho), begin the process of determining what happened, why, and whether it will happen again. Benford contributes a unique perspective on the investigation; in his flashforward, he saw the results of six months of investigation that he had done on the flashforward event, and he and his team use those clues to recreate the investigation.FlashForward today, which was interesting. I think because I'd seen the trailer a couple of times on Five, the story was only really filled out a little in comparison to that. See how that goes I guess. I felt most anxious and awkward whilst watching that. Given that I'm, in general, impressionable (in the sense of being affected by what I seen, etc) that's understandable, but it's worse than normal. That said, I tried watching AI a week or so back and still can't

Also watched the first episode of the new season of House (2004, FOX)DramaGo deeper into the medical mysteries of House, TV's most compelling drama. Hugh Laurie stars as the brilliant but sarcastic Dr. Gregory House, a maverick physician who is devoid of bedside manner. While his behavior can border on antisocial, Dr. House thrives on the challenge of solving the medical puzzles that other doctors give up on. Together with his hand-picked team of young medical experts, he'll do whatever it takes in the race against the clock to solve the case.House this week - a double episode with house in an institution. Not too bad and definitely showed more promise.

Being Erica (2009, CBC)Comedy/Drama/FantasyThirty-something Erica Strange receives the ultimate opportunity - to go back in time and relive her most defining moments. From first kisses and prom nights to job interviews, Erica now has the chance to put right her long list of regrets with the hope that it will result in the life she really wants. Being Erica started again, and I tried watching a bit last night, but it was late and I didn't feel I wanted to go through an episode of it - it's a lot more involving than other, lighter, shows, in my opinion. It's not the 'everything works out' type of thing of (say) Quantum Leap (1989, NBC)Drama/Science-FictionTheorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.Quantum Leap, or Early Edition (1996, CBS)Drama/Science-FictionGary Hobson was a regular Chicago stockbroker. One day his wife dumped him and he was forced to move into a hotel room. The next morning, at 6:30 am, a mysterious yellow cat showed up at his front door with tomorrow's edition of the Chicago Sun-Times. From that day on his life was never the same. At first skeptical, Gary started to try saving people's lives and stop disasters from happening. With the help of his friends Chuck and Marissa, Gary became a man with a mission, even though he doesn't know why or how the paper gets to him every morning.Early Edition, or whatever I might compare it to. Bad stuff happens because of choices and sometimes they stick.

Which reminds me of one of the things from House (2004, FOX)DramaGo deeper into the medical mysteries of House, TV's most compelling drama. Hugh Laurie stars as the brilliant but sarcastic Dr. Gregory House, a maverick physician who is devoid of bedside manner. While his behavior can border on antisocial, Dr. House thrives on the challenge of solving the medical puzzles that other doctors give up on. Together with his hand-picked team of young medical experts, he'll do whatever it takes in the race against the clock to solve the case.House which I object to in general because I'm not at all like that. The doctor tells House that you make mistakes and you don't need to go on feeling bad about them; you can say you're sorry and move on. That's never worked for me; mistakes stay with you and no amount of 'sorry' makes up for the things that you did that are wrong. Plus there's the fact that just saying sorry doesn't mean you should leave the mistake behind because that's just callous. That's probably just me though; I feel bad forever.

Huh. Last.fm hasn't been recording anything I've played since May. That's annoying. Looks like it's not enabled. Now sorted.

I've also been tinkering with the video collection. Having finally decided that the stuff recorded from telly at 1:1 from the DVB source is wrong, and the calculations that I used in the meantime were also wrong, I've now got a whole of recorded stuff that I deem to be 'bust'. It'll just take a bit to replace it all with un-bust things. Plus there's a lot recorded that's probably not going to get watched so should be deleted anyhow.

Additionally, I've updated the synmlink generator so that it also updates the TV series episode details from TheTVDB. In theory (and it's not quite finished yet) that will mean that all the details are held locally and nothing needs to be fetched by XBMC. However, I've not actually got around to sorting out the .nfo files on the server; only my own metadata format. At the very least, I've now got images from the episodes beside them, which is quite cute.

Warehouse 13 (2009, Syfy)Action and Adventure/FantasyAfter saving the life of an international diplomat in Washington D.C., a pair of U.S. Secret Service agents are whisked away to a covert location in South Dakota that houses supernatural objects that the U.S. Government has collected over the centuries. Their new assignment: retrieve some of the missing objects and investigate reports of new ones.Warehouse 13 finished this week as well, and has been entirely enjoyable; and good news that it's coming back (at least I understand so). Eureka (2006, Syfy)Comedy/Drama/Science-FictionThe sleepy Pacific Northwest town of Eureka is hiding a mysterious secret. The government has been relocating the world's geniuses and their families to this rustic town for years where innovation and chaos have lived hand in hand. U.S. Marshal Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) stumbles upon this odd town after wrecking his car and becoming stranded there. When the denizens of the town unleash an unknown scientific creation, Carter jumps in to try to restore order and consequently learns of one of the country's best kept secrets.Eureka finished last week - the last episode wasn't all that great though. It was ok, but nothing really to say 'end of season'.

It's very strange in the evenings not being able to go to bed and use the laptop. Which is also why the diary's not been updated in ages. Ah well.

Pretty fed up again today. It would be nice to have something to look forward to.

I was listening to Vigil In A Wilderness of Mirrors, by Fish earlier and was amused because A Gentleman's Excuse Me always reminds me of Angela... and an hour or so later I get a SMS from her... Very strange!

... and I played the album again because I like it. A text message that was delayed from earlier arrived from her just as 'A Gentleman's Excuse Me' is playing again.

I've been playing Braid today. "Ah! The Ghost-me has left the door open to now-me!" - phrases that make no sense in the real world. However, it has left me feeling pretty frustrated because I'm not clever enough to do it.

I watched "The Man In The White Suit (1951)Comedy, Sci-Fi, DramaSidney Stratton, a humble inventor, develops a fabric which never gets dirty or wears out. This would seem to be a boon for mankind, but the established garment manufacturers don't see it that way; they try to suppress it.The Man In The White Suit" last night, which was pretty fun for an evening.

I've had a nasty coughy-cold recently and felt awful. Fortunately it's mostly gone now.

Recent films... "Next (2007)Action, Fantasy, Romance, Sci-Fi, ThrillerLas Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling "winnings." But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.Next" - not too bad, quite enjoyable in a fun way; interesting twist at the end.

"The Tuxedo (2002)Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi, ThrillerJimmy Tong is just a lowly chauffeur for millionaire Clark Devlin, until Devlin has an accident that puts him in the hospital. Tong is sent back to fetch some things for Devlin and unknowingly tries on Devlin's tuxedo and finds that it gives extraordinary powers to anyone that dons the suit. This discovery thrusts Tong into world of international intrigue and espionage and pairs him with an inexperienced partner.The Tuxedo" - alright Jackie Chan film, far too much silly, and not enough action. Not that I don't like the silly, but the action wasn't as good as I remember from him and the silly felt forced.

"The Time Machine (2002)Sci-Fi, Adventure, ActionBased on the classic sci-fi novel by H.G. Wells, scientist and inventor, Alexander Hartdegen, is determined to prove that time travel is possible. His determination is turned to desperation by a personal tragedy that now drives him to want to change the past. Testing his theories with a time machine of his own invention, Hartdegen is hurtled 800,000 years into the future, where he discovers that mankind has divided into the hunter - and the hunted.The Time Machine (2002)" - not as bad as I expected but I still felt there was something wrong - maybe because the Morlocks just didn't seem scary or that the leader wasn't at all menacing or evil.

"Inkheart (2008)Adventure, Family, FantasyMo has the special talent to bring characters out of books. One night he brings out three characters from Inkheart, a story set in medieval times and filled with magical beings. Capricorn and Basta, two villains, and Dustfinger, a fire-eater. Now, 10 years later Meggie discovers the truth and it's up to her to escape Capricorn's evil grasp.Inkheart" - not too bad, but seemed to be missing something; quite enjoyable as a nice little adventure though.

"Paycheck (2003)Sci-Fi, Thriller, Action, MysteryMichael Jennings is a reverse engineer and what he does is technical jobs for certain companies and as soon as he is done, his memory of the work he has done is wiped out. Now the longest he has been contracted is 2 months. But now billionaire, James Rethrick offers him a job that would last 2 years, maybe 3, and he promises that he will probably earn 8 figures. Michael agrees. Before beginning he turns in all of his personal effects. And when the job is done, his memory is erased and he learns he made over 90 million dollars over the three years. When he goes to claim it and his personal effects, he discovers that prior to the erasure of his memory he waived his rights to the money he earned and that the items that were given to him were not the ones he gave when he began. Later he is arrested by the FBI who say that he committed some act of treason and murder. It's while he is in custody that he escapes using some the items that he was given. He later meets with a friend who gives him some information that helps him understand what is going on. And at the same time Rethrick for some reason wants him so he is being pursued by Rethrick's people.Paycheck" - not bad in a "Minority Report (2002)Action, Mystery, Sci-Fi, ThrillerIn the year 2054 A.D. crime is virtually eliminated from Washington D.C. thanks to an elite law enforcing squad "Precrime". They use three genetically altered humans (called "Pre-Cogs") with special powers to see into the future and predict crimes beforehand. John Anderton heads Precrime and believes the system's flawlessness steadfastly. However one day the Pre-Cogs predict that Anderton will commit a murder himself in the next 36 hours. Worse, Anderton doesn't even know the victim. He decides to get to the mystery's core by finding out the 'minority report' which means the prediction of the female Pre-Cog Agatha that "might" tell a different story and prove Anderton innocent.Minority Report" style of thing.

Why did I put myself through nearly 3 hours of that ? Makes 2 look good, rather than just passable.

Following on from this, I'd like to claim back the hours of my life lost to Star Wars "The Phantom Menace (1999)Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-FiThe evil Trade Federation, led by Nute Gunray is planning to take over the peaceful world of Naboo. Jedi's Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to confront the leaders. But not everything goes to plan.

And I've just remembered that I'd like to include Highlander "Highlander 2- The Quickening (1991)Action, Fantasy, Sci-FiIn the year 2025, the ozone layer is believed to have been destroyed. It is up to MacLeod and Rameriz to set things right. Opposition comes from both the planet Ziest (MacLeod and Ramirez's homeworld) and a corporation profiting from the supposed lack of ozone.

I've heard rumours that the other creditors have received the administrators report on how much money Picsel owe... Its official designation is, I understand, 'oh-my-gosh-you-could-buy-an-island-for- that'. Although, having just looked at the price of islands, you could buy quite a few islands for what we owe.

8 acre island in the Bahamas - only $6.5M.

25 acre island in Fiji - only $6M (7M AUD), and it's called 'Robinson Crusoe Island', too .

40 acres in the Maldives - only $18M, and you've got a 5 star resort part-built already!

(all $ figures are USD unless otherwise specified)

In fact, I believe we could still buy all of those and still have enough left over for an extravagant party. A very extravagant party. I tried to find things to buy that would cover the remaining cost, and even travelling to space, or popping down to visit the Titanic pales in comparison.

Of course, I could be wrong, as I've not actually seen these figures - I've only heard rumours. And after all, who cares what the value is... I got to look at some pretty islands which are remarkably cheap...

"We ANTICIPATED an opening rush when we launched the Monopoly City Streets online game, but the first few hours have surpassed even our greatest EXPECTATIONS." says the blog for 'Monopoly City Streets'. Which makes it sound like it was more successful than they had hoped. As opposed to the reality which was that they were utterly unprepared for the launch and it was a complete disaster.

I watched the first story of Sapphire and Steel (1979, ITV1)Drama/Science-FictionAll irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Transuranic, heavy elements may not be used where there is life. Medium atomic weights are available: Gold, Lead, Copper, Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver and Steel. Sapphire and Steel have been assigned.Sapphire and Steel yesterday, it was a bit odd and quite longwinded - maybe it's just me but I think it could have done with being condensed a bit. I watched "Before You Say 'I do' (2009)Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, RomanceGeorge Murray's fiancée Jane Gardner gets cold feet after accepting his ring, terrorized by her first wedding with Doug, who cheated that very day with their wedding coordinator. After a car crash, George finds himself 10 years in the past, just days before Doug's day. And before he and his colleague-friend Harvey Blinton are to be cheated out of a brilliant career in advertising by sleaze-bag Jack Harrington. However, every change to the past starts a whole series, not necessarily for the better.Before You Say 'I do'" today which was really quite cool.

Tonight I'm watching "Next (2007)Action, Fantasy, Romance, Sci-Fi, ThrillerLas Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future.

Reasonably fun.

Got a bit of a cold and my sore tummy kept me up again last night so I still haven't had a decent sleep. Feel very tired today.

I'm hopeful that we'll get something sorted with the company soon. It's becoming a little frustrating to not know where things are going.

I was dreaming of an airport this morning and I remember that I had lost all my luggage - it had been stolen and I couldn't get it back. It was all quite scary. And then there was a second half of the dream where I'd got cancer and only had a few months to live. That wasn't much fun either.
