Holidays Bye Bye

The end of the "holiday Season" is quite sad. Decorations and lights are put away, and there is no longer an excuse, since one seems to be required, to indulge in luxuries. So although i don't have much of a christmas thang gong on, i am still sad to see the year stretching out ahead of me. It all seems so bleak.

OK, linky-links:
Vienna. A nice OS X RSS reader. Open source, with it's own built in browser for opening links in. I am currently trying this out for my main RSS reader in place of NetWNewsWire Lite.
Women lovin' their training shoes
Webcams from around the world
Slothcam widget at apple.com a dashboard widget allowing you to view various webcams - allows you to add your own webcams.

Option Click

In Tiger, in the Finder, to get a single "Get Info" box for several documents, or to open several documents in an application you can use the option (alt) button when you go to file (or right click) on the selected items
"Open With" turns into "Always Open With".
"Get Info" turns into "Show Inspector".



It's easy to begin books, I have begun four at the moment though i am only really reading two of them. If you abandon a book for long enough when you return to it you won't have a clue what's going on when you finally pick up where the bookmark tells you you left off. I'm trying to finish at least one of the books before the end of the year; that is in about a day and a half. It's a good book that can suck you through past the lost momentum that emerges after 30 or so pages. If it's a "rollocking good read" then it never loses any momentum in the first place. I find that Margaret Atwood's novels and short stories are in the "rollocking good read" category; also Edith Wharton and Michele Roberts (writers I chose because I have been reading them recently).

More Links 31st Dec 2005

A few links again

Here I am, back once again for the renegade master.
I have some links and stuff tat I have been gathering all this time, but I have either forgotten them or I haven't the energy to get over this inertia.
So a few links that aren't representative of much except what I can recall right now.

ODM Watches - very lovely,interesting watches.
I decided to buy ecto, blogging client. It's all good.
Top 100 downloaded texts on Project Gutenberg.
From the channel 4 programme Demolition a website with some related architectural links.
Desperate Housewives Spoilers?

Ok I know

I said I wouldn't be posting, but lookey at del.icio.us. There are some fantastic new features, really I am impressed.

No Posts

The reason for the lack of posts is that I am unwell. Yes for this long. And being unwell I have neither the inclination to write or anything worth writing about. These are good reasons for not posting. God knows how long this unwellness will last, not long I hope as it is, obviously, unpleasant.
And no, it is not Avian Flu.

Bye bye for now,
KCanard.

The wanderer returns

after having been no-where. That should I guess be "The waddler returns". I have been busy doing things that have amounted to very little and it all seems very futile. I am beginning to miss the duck life I have left behind, out on the pond. But there are upsides, for instance pictures of Jelly Belly sweets for me to salivate over at Cybercandy and shopbox UK it is a kind of pornography I tell you.
Chocolate buttons is hardcore. And the cheapest I've found for Jellybelly. Though no purchase-y yet, just for ogling purposes. I don't think all that sugar is any good for ducks. Ah, well.

I have lots of links about Harajuku and stuff, I can't face posting them now, perhaps in the next post?

that was quite a rubbish entry eh?
Try this instead.
