Portmanteau

Did nothing yesterday. The weather was crap, the mood oppressive and I just didn't do anything much. Was also tired after the ultra-crappy trip back from London.

Actually I did spent some time downloading album covers to install in iTunes so that the coverflow mode on the iPod touch looked better. That's quite a nice feature, it's like flicking through a CD collection now. I'm quite happy with it. At the moment it's a competent music player and internet browser, and hopefully now that Apple will be releasing an SDK in February, some decent software will come out.

Today went to up where that house was being built and saw the assembled timber frame. It's pretty cool, about 10 metres square and like a tall bungalow. Now that the frame is up it makes more sense. Should be great when it's finished but there's still a lot of work to be done and the planning department of the council love throwing spanners in the works.

Other than that I completed Halo 3 today (sorry Rob, I got impatient). Just like the first game, some levels are amazing, and some are utter pants. The two worst were a Flood ship and the final Warthog dash, which was utter, utter shite. It played like something out of a PS1 game or something. So there. Halo 3 does have good moments and the multiplayer is excellent. But the campaign was lacking, just like Halo and Halo 2.
