Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

Patently Rediculous

Cingular tries to patent selecting emoticons (:-O) on a mobile phone.
The worlds patent systems are really, really broken.

That’s it, I’ve had it,

I’m just going to go be a good McCitizen now.

Strange.

A file called dxva_sig.txt suddenly appeared in my favorite video directory. It´s a zero length text file, WTF? . Fortunately Google provides an answer, nothing to get too fussed about. Just caused by me using recent (4.12 or so) ATI graphics drivers and playing .wmv files without having installed Windows Media Player 10. I upgraded to that a few days ago, and no more little files.. :-) another bug squashed.

Plan.

A way to sort out my domains:
www.owen.demon.nl : Personal Website, this weblog.
easytarget.me.uk : Split into domains; gallery, webcam etc.. Otherwise redirects to personal website.
easytarget.org : New master site. Something sassy and simple with an image blog, kept in style with the common theme I use. Links to ezopic.* and personal site, but no subdomains.
ezopic.net/com/org : Something new.. some art?
Time to do some web authoring. :-)

Meeting People

When two people meet there are really six people present:
Each Person as the other sees them.
Each Person as they see themselves.
Each person as the really are.

Very smart, wish I know who said it, heard it on Radio4 last night.
