For no other reason than I caught it on Classic FM this morning and now it’s stuck on a loop in my head only with me supplying my own dire vocal counter harmonies. Enquire no further.

Are we still trying to get poor old James Doohan’s ashes into space? Still?School kids have put a rubber chicken into space for Dawkin’s sake. If this fails yet again we need to have their phone number on standby.
Energy Crunching Granola
I recently installed the Granola energy management software to my netbook just to see if it would eek out some extended battery life time. Initial results look good and battery time has indeed been increased with no apparent effect on perceived speed or response.
Granola is available for linux and Windows desktops. It can also be deployed on VMware ESXi. It is free for personal use but has a very small cost licence which makes available much more detailed energy controls and monitoring options when deployed across many computers at the same address. Power saving results can be tracked over time via an online account which records your power usage data.
Available desktop stats are displayed in a slightly generalised way with preferences available to show annual or cumulative energy savings.

Yesterday Dad gave me a pack of button cell batteries and a triple pack of wire brushes he bought at a local pound shop. My cup runneth over.
I Think You’re Very…
I woke up with this decidedly old school art rock ditty stuck in my head again. It was the swift follow up to their very successful reworking of Money.
I believe that Deborah Evans-Stickland became a psychotherapist but has from time to time stepped back into the music limelight.She contributed to a Richard X album a while back and only this year she reprised her Money vocals as part of The Steampunk Opium Wars project.
