ChrisRand commented on the post, Ipswich Town Fans…who do you want at the helm? 3 weeks, 1 day ago
No, but I’ve always been involved in the Ipswich debaser.org email group, and did a long-running series of match reports (“View From Churchmans”) until technology rather overtook day-old blog reports. Or you may […]

Owner Marcus Evans is running the club in a very un-football-like way: he just applies the same principles as he would to any other part of his business. So the manager is treated like a COO or someone at a […]

ChrisRand commented on the post, ATM converting cassettes to digital format 1 year, 4 months ago
OK, done plenty of this with a Mac. The simplest bit of hardware required is a Griffin iMic, which converts a 3.5mm audio cable to USB. I connect this to the hi-fi with a stereo phono to stereo 3.5mm cable. Job […]

Nothing. Can’t see why it got a 12A. Whoopi Goldberg unnecessarily drops an F-bomb in a talking head bit. That’s it IIRC. Drugs barely hinted at, no sex at all, and even less tea.

Magnificent. Got a round of applause in our cinema. I agree that the talking heads (don’t worry, there aren’t that many) are, er, eclectic – and surprisingly British. The director doesn’t let the moviemaking get i […]

Pulling the ice axe from my leg, I staggered on, spindrift stinging my remaining eye. I finally managed to reach the station, only to find that the bus replacement service had broken down.

http://ukandeu.ac.uk is a really good academic site where you can read independent answers on the topics which you find most important. It’s helped me, anyway.

This is what we love about the Afterword. Several screens of responses and I’m not sure anyone’s answered the question. Fabulous.
I think it’s supposed to be more of a writing tool than an analysis one. So you […]

ChrisRand commented on the post, ATM – anyone used iMatch? 2 years, 3 months ago
Something which hasn’t been highlighted enough about iTunes Match is that if it “matches” the song (which it did for about 80% of my library), the backup is the nice pristine 256kB version which Apple holds. If […]

That’s a bit concerning, Sour Crout. Nobody else has reported that, but then again, maybe nobody else has got that far! Please confirm if there is a problem and I’ll sort it out (I’m away from my PC for a few days).
