Jun. 30th, 2005 06:43 pmTelewest have finally announced their Video On Demand service - Teleport:

This will allow you to watch various shows from the previous week (so if you missed Dr Who you can still watch it), watch movies, and will also carry a range of older popular TV - so you can catch up on all those episodes of The West Wing.
Price is free (for the previous week), £2-£3.50 for movies and £5 a month for the older TV (or free if you're on the Supreme package already).
Edinburgh's getting its update at the end of September/start of October.

I despise computers
Jun. 30th, 2005 10:28 pmRight, so now _my_ power supply has gone. Which means I've gone through 4 in the last month - Ed's original one, two (shite) replacement one's for Ed (who now has my old one from an old PC, happily working in it - so it's not his PC at fault) and now the one in my main machine.
It's not a good week.
So tomorrow I'm off down to either Ideal Computers or Maplin to purchase something powerful and quiet. And hopefully after that nothing will break at all...
Oh, and in other news, I've spent the evening tidying, with the help of Erin. The flat is now in habitable condition for Ed's return from London. Now if I can just keep it this way.
