Australian TV viewers really have it tough when it comes to Electronic Program Guide (EPG) info.
For some reason the TV networks have all decided that it is not applicable for them to release an EPG so that viewers using PVR’s or Home Theatre PC’s can schedule recordings.
See, I would have thought that it would have been in their best interest to release this info so that people would watch the shows that they air, but I must be missing something.
Slap me silly and colour me pink, David Blaine is being called a fraud by the media over his latest ’stunt’.
He proported to be going to hang upside down from a wire over Central Park in NY for 60 hours. He would drink water upside down and even urinate through a catheter.
The issue is that people saw him taking 10 minute breaks every hour where he was standing.
His publicist was forced to say that of course, he would die if he didnt.
Two Oh Man’s for this week.
1. They busted the LHC ! WTF were you doing Brian?
No, seriously, they LHC had an electrical failure in one section where some electrical do-hickey burnt out and needs to be repaired. Trouble is that it is one of the superconducting electro-magents and they are cooled to nearly absolute zero, meaning that a whole section of the LHC will have to be emptied of the tonnes of gas that is used to keep it cool and get it all warmed up so that technicians can go inside to fix the issue.

Heores, back, on tv, must, watch, more.
Seriously how frigging good was that for a first episode? It had everything.
Man am I happy to have Heroes back.
In years gone by there has been the promise of a shift away from Internal Combustion Engines and towards the irresistable lure of the electric vehicle.
The promise has been there for decades but we are only just seeing the mainstream results come to fruition next year with the release of the Chevy Volt.
I know, I know, I know, Toyota has had the Prius in its linup for a few years, but I discount that as a token effort.
WHY?
Yes the long wait is finally drawing to a close and we will see Heroes season 3 gracing a blue cable near you.
The official airdate is September 22nd in the USA so expect to be tuning in to channel BT in Australia on Tuesday the 23rd . I havent looked up the timings, but I assume that it will be as usual an overnight torrent Tuesday night.

How do you monetise a website?
That is a good question, I am glad you asked.
No I dont have one that I prepared earlier, as I want to know the answer to this one too.
I have a menagerie of websites, none of them is properly monetised.
The issue isnt really that of getting enough traffic, really, it is all about finding the right advertisers. But to attract the right advertisers you have to have enough traffic.

I am a little astounded at the hoo hah that is going around at the moment about the Large Hadron Collider (LCH). Apparantly the lunatic fringe that make up these outrageous theories like a mini black hole able to swallow the earth able to be produced, have a hard time reading and comprehending basic facts.
