Tony Sutton’s Blog!

Was thinking in my head randomly and thought of this question.

If you received a freebie film DVD i.e. from newspaper, you know, Daily Mail. You then make a copy of it and share it, say, via P2P, would this be considered as piracy? Or not?

I don’t know why I asked this question but I think this is a good question for discussions.

So it’s friday at last. With the great weather forecast for the weekend coming up, it should be a relaxing weekend.

Also payday arrived today so will be looking forward to some shopping but not too much as I seriously need to save up as I went into red just a little bit! Whoops.

Going to meet up a mate at 6pm for dinner, drinks and catching up before heading out to Glasshouse pub for a meetup with other deafies.

So that was the budget yesterday. And short. But interesting changes/suggestions from them.

Not sure what to make of it. But I like the 2k for car exchange. Shall see how it goes. And the tax changes. 50% tax for 150k or more - ouch! Thats half of the salary.

Anyway.

Last weekend, we’ve been busy doing the garden work on the front garden, planting some hedges around. Need to do some work on the grass as they are pretty in bad state, so some seeding and lawn feed needed.

Work is ok so far, as usual, preparing for the summer works so busy all around.

Lovely weather so far, and have done two BBQs

Time to do some volunteer work… Laters all

After our shopping earlier this afternoon, i made another attempt with removing the tree stump and at last, I got the big tree stump removed!

I dug deeper and found that the wood were much softer, so using the spade, I cut it down layer by layer of soft wood until the point where it got loose. I kicked it down and it’s done!

Now the front garden looks much bigger. Tomorrow, if it stays sunny, will fill up the hole, smooth out the soil and put down some grass seed. And maybe plant hedge if we got time.

Now getting ready for the quiz night.

Hey peeps. The weather over the past few days including today is GREAT!

Makes you feel alive and do more stuff!

Like this morning, i’ve been busy with trying to remove a tree stump. And I failed. It’s so deep and very rooted. But the good thing is most of them are dead and soft but not the middle.

Anyone got any suggestion to remove it easily without breaking my back?

Am looking forward to the Quiz Night with Fish & Chips tonight at the local Deaf club. I and other 4 people in the team won last time so hoping to repeat the success tonight.

Currently in Norwich for some shopping and then head back home this afternoon to tackle the tree stump again. Should be a good afternoon I think.

I am not looking forward going back to work this Monday as I have been on leave for the past 1 and a half week. Wonder if there’s stuff piled up for me to do? Will find out soon, I guess.

Right, better finish this shopping. Have a great weekend!

The good thing about the Half Term is the lack of traffic. We are able to leave home a bit later and get to work on time, sometimes even earlier!

Has anyone heard the news about the Gov considering paying you money to scrap your old car (9 years and over) and buy new car using the money. Sounds good… We got a car that is 9 years old as of last month.

Will they go ahead with it? No idea… But I think they should as it proves popular in Germany. And at the same time, it helps us with going "green" to help the world & stuff.

Would be nice to get a new car tho

So anyone planning to go on holiday over Easter? We are working this week and I have a week off next week. Woo!

So. G20. One trillion dollars.

That’s a lot of money. But personally i don’t think it’s enough for the whole world.

But at least it’s better than nothing!

Updates on my MCE box…

Got the new Media case a few days ago. Much better and smaller. Just finished putting all of the hardware together and it’s looking good! Need to figure out what the last cables going to whichever pins it needs connecting to as it’s not labeled at all!

But apart from it, I’m pretty excited to have it up and running so we can get rid of the old dvd player and the Humax box!

And for my WHS box - I’ve moved the hardware out of the old, bigass full tower to a smaller and nicer case so it will take up much less space. Currently installing the operating system before setting it up for shared folders and backups.

Overall, been busy with a cut finger with these hardware builds and I can’t wait for both of them to be done!
