Twas the night before the night before Xmas

Well, it's been a busy week. Over a week without blogging. Most of that seems to have been spent Xmas shopping, Xmas shopping and yet more Xmas shopping. Then of course the wrapping of the presents. Still I'm done now, and I even took time to watch a couple of movies. Peter Pan, which I enjoyed and I direct you to Grant and Simon's blogs for more detailed reviews. To be honest, I didn't even notice Peter's accent. Too much exposure to US accents via TV I guess, I don't notice them unless they're very strong.

And tonight I went with Anna, Art & the sproglets and a few other friends to see Looney Tunes: Back in Action which Simon had recommended to us. A good successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Lots and lots and LOTS of in jokes. I suspect DVD sales of this one will be high if only just so people can watch for all the background jokes.
Laughter from diminutive person sitting next to me suggested that while some of the jokes may only be understood by those who grew up with this stuff, it's still funny enough without that background.

Spent some time in DP withdrawal, the Distributed Proofreader's host site was having some sort of core move and the site was having long periods of downtime. The second of which was apparently due to not all the i's having being dotted on the DNS updates. IPs were provided and hosts files amended for the proofaholics among us while the DNS was being fixed and propagated, but the monthly goal isn't looking particularly attainable, but we shall see.

My second postproofing project was posted to project gutenberg this week so I'm feeling quite chuffed about that. My aim now is to post proof a project with no mistakes whatsoever. :)

(For anyone interested Mrs Beeton's The Book of Household Management is now available in plain txt form from Project Gutenberg.)

And Steve Moffat has indeed confirmed as Kylie said that the Press Gang Season 1 DVD is indeed GO! (He just wishes they'd asked him about it because they had plenty of extras they could have given them. Oh well, maybe next season's DVD)

Weekend was fairly quiet apart from going to Sam's BBQ on Sunday evening. The cool wind on the foreshore makes for low fly and mossie count but the wind chill factor did prevent it being a very late affair.

Well, as may technically be Christmas Eve now, and I'm going in to work in the morning I should finish off and head to bed. Merry Xmas all that celebrate it, and I'll probably see a lot of people at Fe's drop in or the NY party.
