PDF Reader

Those who regularly download, read and save PDF files will, like me, have found considerable frustration when using Acrobat Reader.

At best, the Acrobat product is a large download, is slow to load and somewhat flaky in its rendering of files.

I've used Foxit Reader for a couple of years and found it very reliable.

Having been recently upgraded to Foxit Reader 2, it is better than ever and I recommend it highly.

Guitar, rock and folk legend Dave Steel with the Welcome Wagon and Tony Hargreaves 9-30pm.

See you there.

New Year Look

A new look for a New Year. Still the garish colours but with new bio and "South Park"style pic. New font, too.
Oh , new year saw me working all day till 9.30pm then up early for a short work session from 8.30.
Note to self: Resolution - Work less this year.

Iraq Death Toll

The US military losses have reached 3000. There were no weapons of mass destruction. There were no terrorist links. Iran sponsors much of the ongoing violence and, probably, will finally conquer Iraq. Iraq is now a haven for terrorist groups. No end is in sight for the occupying forces. 

Saddam is strung up. A ritual killing performed to entertain and satisfy his enemies. The end of a brute whose rule showed no respect for human life. A demonstration that his successors have none either.

Sad.
