You want to try having my birthday. Nobody ever remembers it - not even me. First thing I knew about it last year was when ebay sent me an email the day after asking me to sell the unwanted birthday presents I didn't get.

There was some confusion at first, because people told us they were still getting the ads, but they were getting them - all of them - at midnight. That's what sounded like a bug.

What actually happened is an advertising campaign expired. I know better than to trust anything anyone ever says in bug reports, I shouldn't have fallen for that.

Guess which garden related activity I've just been performing.

Not really - you can crossload a broken version of flash onto Android if you're insistent - or at least, I can, and by the sound of it, you can, but the support forum says not many people can, unless Dolphin happens to work for them (and it's a resource hog, it just doesn't work on cheaper phones).

With this new package, we can do it properly, without all the messing around, and have it working (in as much as Flash can ever be said to work anyway).

Though, it's hard to understand why they need flash in this day and age anyway.

I don't find anything weird about Lucía y el Sexo

I didn't mean weird as in the films are odd, I meant weird as in films nobody else watches.

It's not weird that you like that partiular director - you're Spanish. It is weird compared to the people who are likely to give me recommendations who are English, and in the main, wouldn't dream of reading subtitles.

Rapsodia V Byalo, incidentally, is about a woman who performs in a puppet theatre, and...it's hard to say what it's about, she's just living life, but while it's completely different in tone - it's slapstick and over the top - it's very similar to Lucia Y El Sexo, in that it's about blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Lorenzo is writing a book they're living, she's living a life she's acting. It's a very different take, but the same underlying concept.

Vuelta a Espana highlights.

I've got no TV signal here right now, so online only, and I can't be bothered with anything else.

You didn't hear this from me, but Flash is probably coming back to Android pretty soon.


Here is a link Adobe reverses decision to kill NPAPI Flash plugin for Linux • The Register

Flash first has to come back to Linux properly - it's beta at the moment - then you have to wait for it to be ported to your system. That'll take a while, and Android will not be among the first, but *someone* is going to make this work on Firefox.

In the end, it's all about personal taste, as always.

To be fair, my favourite films are Lucia Y El Sexo and Rapsodia V Byalo. Anyone who has seen either of them will recommend them, but hardly anyone has seen either of them.

So, maybe I just have weird taste.

Take the movie 'Jaws' for example. That movie was great when it came out. We had never watched
anything like it before. However, today if a teenager was to watch it they'd probably yawn through it.

Yeah. My Nephew - fifteen years old- watched the Exorcist the other week, and told me how pathetic I was for thinking it was scary.

But films that are so bad they're good is cheating, otherwise the only answer anyone can give is Plan 9 from Outer Space

I'm just saying because virtually everyone went on about how good it was before I finally started watching it... and now I say the same. And I remember having read some post of yours where you commented about a couple of characters from that series. So perhaps the problem is not what others said, but that you simply found those movies of no interest at all.

I have watched Game of Thrones, but that was more me trying to do a pop culture reference than me actually liking it. It's okay, but it's just okay.

As compensation for the gay porn, I demand an equal length of time dedicated to porn that suits my own personal tastes too.

That's a tough one...Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, Titanic, The Matrix. I can't choose between them. They all have the same problem - everyone went on and on about how good they were, but no matter how many times I try to watch them, I can't get more than a quarter of the way through before I want to eat my own brains.

Linux, including rooted Android and Chromebooks, can probably (as root)

Code: Select All

service nscd restart

or

Code: Select All

service dnsmaq restart

or maybe even

Code: Select All

service networking restart

There are a lot of ways to handle DNS on *nix...

Mac can

Code: Select All

dscacheutil -flushcache

or

Code: Select All

lookupd -flushcache

Flaming typical. I never get the porn ads everyone raves about, and the first time I do get porn, it's gay porn.

Boobs next time, please.

I'm so poor, when I give the Nigerian Princes my bank details and they clear my balance, I end up with more money than I started with.

When I was young, and I was in my day I might have gone in for all that, but I'm too old and too tired now.

I mean, just a few weeks ago, I joined a dating site, and it said my only match was an RS232 Serial Interface that hasn't logged in since 1986.
