Yesterday I uploaded my 100th video to YouTube.

This excludes the material uploaded as part of Worfolk Pictures so I don’t think that is too bad going. It is a right random collection though, there are series of videos from anything from tech to celebs all with atheist rants mixed in with them.

…the world ends tomorrow ;).

Having ordered my car on Friday and picking it up on Monday I really should get round to posting some pictures of it. It’s a 1.6 Astra, 2001, 50,000 miles so not the fastest thing in the world but never the less reasonably fancy. The air con actually works in it which is always a nice suprise with used cars.

The beta version of ChrisWorfolk.com v3 is now available for your viewing pleasure. It’s a lot clearer than the current site and easier to read and it uses a nicer URLs. There are a few issues with it at the moment, mainly that it has only been tested in Firefox so far and suffers from some issues when displaying in Internet Explorer.

There has been very little news on the next Trek film but Comic Con saw some big news – the film will not only feature Spock but will also include Leonard Nimoy! Zachary Quinto will take on the main role while Nimoy will also take on the role for the more aged Spock (whether that is flashbacks, disturbance in the timeline or what remains to be seen). It will also feature Kirk apparently (but then, who really cares ;)).

It’s subject is now a little more cloudy now though, the early rumours of it revolving around Star Fleet Academy seem to have disappeared of the net and Wikipedia‘s page on it talks about how the idea of a film between Enterprise and TOS about the Earth-Romulan War have also been quashed. So I guess we’ll just have to wait for a little more detail to be leaked.

EMI and Apple have just announced a new edition to their offerings – EMI’s entire catalog will now be offered DRM free. For $.129 a track (opposed to the classic $0.99 which is still available) you get your tracks at 256kbps rather than 128kbps and DRM free though they will still be in AAC format.

This is one step closer to making buying music online a good alternative to buying the actual CD, indeed it’s by far the biggest one. You will now be able to move music between devices which was the major problem and it also solves the licences problem (losing them) as you can back up all your music without any problems.

It has been long awaited. Actually not that long awaited as I told very few people about it, I never confirmed it to anyone. But the point is it is now launched. I still have to add the link to Worfolk Online which I am going to do after this and work on the submissions script for admins but then it is pretty much done. I might give it a new colour scheme too, as currently it is basically Lyrics Burger. Or to be more precise, it is Lyrics Burger.

Anyway so check the site out at SongMeanings.info. It doesn’t have much on at the minute – Nickelback only and only half of the stuff that is going to be posted for them. But once the submissions script is up and running I should be able to post plenty pretty fast and get the site up to scratch.

I just came from Google where I was submitting the site as it happens. Not that, that has much relevance but I thought I would throw it in. I think I shall also use this paragraph to mention I have several other topics that need moaning about on Nerd Federation. What a site!
