Look into my eyes…
After many years of wondering, I finally booked myself on a hypnosis course and completed it at the weekend. I am now a hypnotist and will be hypnotising people on the streets as soon as I've got a routine or two to use.
The course was excellent with 2 existing hypnotherapists who wanted to learn the fast induction style (handshake induction as seen on tv) as well as 3 others, like myself, who have never hypnotised before. A highly practical course and by lunchtime on the first day, we were practicing techniques on eachother and getting hypnotic phenomena like arm lifting!
Thoroughly recommended and I can't wait to find my first subject.

Any volunteers?
I left my Deathstar in San Fran

Excellent home made vieo and there are a couple of real laugh out loud moments. I love the way that everyone treats it as though they're everyday occurances and its not unusual to have Tie fighters screaming across the bay let alone star destroyers hovering just above the Golden Gate Bridge...
It lives!
Finally after many too-ing and fro-ing from Dabs and Natwest (who stopped my card because they were worried about all the online transactions I was making [raises eyebrow] ) I finally have a new computer!!!

Now it took me about 4 hours to put together, but unbelievably it started first time! I mean how often does that happen!? Vista installed in about 45mins and on the internet about 2 seconds after that (gotta love cable).
Now since then I have reinstalleed Vista 3 times and have bsod for the graphics driver, have upgraded the BIOS, had two different RAID settings on my two 500GB HDDs and have posted on half a dosen forums because the much touted Express Gate failed to show its Linux head.
On top of that I had to spend about an hour trying to upgrade my iphone today as after upgrading to firmware v2, you have to activate the phone again which means connecting to iTunes. Sadly Apple failed to count the number of phones they'd sold and take into account how many servers/bandwidth they had, so it was a brick for about an hour and a half this afternoon. Not impressed.
New PC
I'm thinking about buying a new PC. The one I am using is more than 2 years old and is as slow and sluggish as... ok so I can't think of anything slow enough to compare it to, but if I could it would be something like one of those old codgers you see down the local sleeze who smells bad and burps whenever a female walks past.
I thinking about a a £2k budget to include a new monitor, keyboard and mouse, Vista Premium (64).
I want it to handle the latest games and that is primarily what I'm aiming for. I have had a look at overclockers and this one came up http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-098-OK which comes out at £1500 once you've got vista premium and the nice silver case.
What does everyone reckon? I need serious advice now and I can't bare using this piece of s h one t any more! (Olivia's learning new words).
I was reading about Intel's new CPUs that have come out and quite like the sound of the Quad Extreme's that look blistering, but is it overkill? am I really going to be needing 4 cores? I'm sure I read somewhere that 99% of games can't take advantage of them anyway?
Help much appreciated chaps. I'll even invite you all over to play with it when I eventually make up my mind.
P.S anyone tempted by the iphone 3g? I'm upgrading asap (02 actually have an upgrade plan for existing customers!)
Google Android
I was geekily surfing one of the many many many iphone blogs out there and came across an article about Google Android which appears to be Google's own mobile OS. The link provided (http://androidcommunity.com/first-live-images-of-fullscreen-android-demo-20080528/) also shows some cool videos and pictures. I wasn't overly impressed with pacman, but then I've never been a fan of the game (being rubbish at it doesn't help), but I was impressed with the built in compass! It makes Google StreetView (yes its a 3G phone) images turn with you as you rotate! The demonstration of this, quite rightly, drew "Awwww!"s and applause from the demonstration crowd.
Can't wait.
