When I was trying to find the name of the song they use in Classic FM for a theme tune, I discovered a bug in iTunesRater - it only checks the title of the song, not anything else. So two songs with the same title played one after another won’t necessarily change the iTunesRater display.

Of course, attempting to fix this has caused some other issues…

Yay! The days of having every post I posted with ecto automatically having the default category as well as those that I choose are numbered!

An official bug report of the error (including the line of code where the bug occurs) has been put into the Word Press bug system (mosquito).

I bought a proper razor on the weekend.

One of the ‘old school’ (I hate this term now, it’s been corrupted by the youth. Any type of Mobile Phone, no matter how old, is ‘old skool’) razors, a double-edged safety razor.

No shaving rash. Closer shaves. Might have something to do with the cream I bought to, but it’s nice.

Even makes me look forward to shaving. Almost.

Well, consider this a plug for the Shaver Shop. Transform Yourself.

Seriously, the guy who served me was excellent. Didn’t try to sell me the most expensive razor or cream in the shop. I think he knows the value of patience, knows that if I am happy, I will come back, and buy stuff from him again.

John Williamson’s “masterful final act” (according to The Australian, but I didn’t know he’d stopped writing plays) Influence is currently playing at the Dunstan Theatre in Adelaide. Since we haven’t been to see anything since A Number, and Jaq won a raffle with a season ticket, we went to see it on Saturday night.

John Waters is “Ziggi Blasco”, a conservative, hate-mongering talk radio host, along the lines of John Laws, Alan Jones and their ilk. His wife was a former ballet dancer - she was never really top of the heap but once performed the lead role of a production in London, but only because the two top dancers were both injured. Anyway, she is the most vile, vapid creature who is unable to believe that a) she isn’t going to make it big again, and b) other people have challenges in their lives that are much harder to live with.

Central Scorpions Touch Association Mens Open had their first training session yesterday. I am the coach.

I’ve coached plenty of Womens and Girls touch, and the occasional boys team, but this is the first time I have coached a team of Real Men ™. It is kind of intimidating (and I probably need to stop worrying about stepping on feelings), but I’m quite looking forward to it.
