Beginning in 2007, Daylight Saving Time is extended one month and begins for most of the United States at:

2 a.m. on the Second Sunday in March
to
2 a.m. on the First Sunday of November.
 
 
Also had a few friends see V. for vendetta.. reactions ranged from "great!" to "not bad" so i'm guessing on the whole it wasnt terrible like i thought it was going to be.
Most of my negative opinion came from the trailer and that horrible Guy Fawkes mask, which looks like the Jokey from batman.
 
It was also bugging me that i didnt know who guy Fawkes was, so here you have it.  From wikipedia:
Guy Fawkes was an English soldier and a member of a group of Roman Catholic conspirators who attempted to carry out the so-called Gunpowder Plot in 1605. The plot was an attempt to assassinate King James I of England (James VI of Scotland) and the members of both houses of the Parliament of England.
[he and his gang were arrested and hung/drawn/quartered].
 
Well, the more you know.  Might come in handy for trivia night :)

Happy birthday Edmond

Happy birthday edmond! my brother passes one of life's signposts today.. and he got a blackberry 7130 to commemorate it.
lol.. now he can get his email everywhere!  the chains are getting tighter. :)
 
in other news.... i'm the number 1 hit in MSN search! look up "Marks space" in msn search and i'm number one!  Msn must be re-indexing ( that or i'm really really relevant!)
 
here's a random image to celebrate, photo credit goes to a random email i receieved a long time ago.  Domokun!  vaguely reminds me of edmond chasing the cats.

MSN spaces gripes

3/28
update.. i downgraded to ie6 and now things are a little better, at least the photo control works, which solves problems 2,3, and 6.  which just leaves MSN search being not that relevant and ie7 not working with spaces ;)
-----------------
first time trying to really use this thing, and it's driving me nuts
1) which album is displayed in the module is so unintuitive. After much digging, I now know that its the last edited album which displays
2) i have no idea how to control where my images are getting uploaded.. they keep showing up in my 'favourites' album... even though i dont want them to.
3) theres no way to move pictures between albums?! give me a break. that is pretty silly.
4) MSN search has a lot of trouble getting information on MSN spaces tips for some reason. i had to use google.
5) the photo management page is broken with IE7 beta 2. ARGH. i have to use mozilla just to add photos, and that isnt working either, because i'm getting "page contains no data" errors when i'm trying to add photos.

6) after i add photos to my post, they dont show up in the preview pane... it just shows that i added photos, it doesnt let me actually view them... there seems to be no way to view a post, apart from having a sperate browser where i am not signed in.
 
 

Blog updated! New snowboard gear!

for the first time ever, i've updated my space! i uploaded a few of the images that i've taken over the years - make sure you leave me a comment or two! I'll post more images later.

Also, I finally took the plunge and bought snowboarding gear! i'm all set for next season, and my upcoming trip to Utah!
My new kit: Atomic Radon 154cm , Salomon Synapse boots, Flow bindings.
Also have a Rossignol Scope 154cm to play with (three cheers for end of season discounts!). I'll also endorse the following shops for good deals: Evogear (http://www.evogear.com) and SkiMart (a branch of SturtEvants) in Bellevue on 20th.
