August has arrived and brought the summer's best weather with it.
Saturday was absolutely beautiful in the garden - why I then decided it'd be a good idea to hack 2 feet off our hedge at the front is beyond me. Picking one of the warmest days of the year to do the heaviest task of the year is not clever.
Anyway, with August, comes the run-up to the rugby season, and this year, the Rugby World Cup.
The Scotland team are out and about in Scotland training - St Andrews and the like, no doubt getting some golf in too. Which, for many of them is just as well, given the war between the SRU and Edinburgh Rugby that's broke out. The ER guys cannot use Murrayfield any more as, according to a statement by the SRU, Edinburgh Rugby that's broke out. The ER have terminated their "operating agreement" and have been asked to vacate the premises. Just the run-up to a World Cup we were looking for - way to go guys.
PC World announced that they're to produce an "eco-computer" partly made of wood. I'm no expert, but I'm not sure that's a good idea guys.
It's going to be much smaller than a standard tower system and uses a number of laptop parts in the build to ensure that performance is not compromised. Hmm, let me think: a small computer; no fan; laptop parts; internal power pack - blimey, it's a Mac mini :-))
Go to the far east and you're bound to find some bizarre stories. Thai police that break minor rules like being late, park in the wrong place or accidentally throw a detainee down the stairs will have to wear a "Hello Kitty" armband while in the office. Although a great idea, perhaps it should be extended to outside the police station. Have them walking the streets with their Miffy-branded truncheons and what not - we'll see how tough they are on crime dressed like that!
