I recently discovered another use for Gmail’s ‘convert to html’ feature.
For those of you who weren’t aware, Word and PDF files that you receive in Gmail can be opened in-browser as html files. What this means for you and me is a simple way to open some of these common file-types without needing to download the file and fire up the correct program — simply click ‘Open as HTML’ and you’ve got your file, ready to read in seconds using Google’s conversion.

I was doing that narcissistic thing where you look up your name on search engines… come on… you’ve done it… everyone does (and you’re not blind and you don’t have hairy palms like all the naysayers predicted)… Where was I?

I am not an atheist! I say this because I am about to link to an article that makes a few excellent points about common Christian arguments. Before I give you the link I want to stress that I am not saying that I am an atheist, or that there are no reasonable arguments for Christianity — only that some don’t hold up to scrutiny, and you must know what won’t be convincing to me if you use it as an argument.

OK, that’s a bit misleading, as I don’t in fact love opera as entertainment. I don’t even love it as a web browser. I am however giving it a shot as my default browser. I had been using Firefox, and whilst I appreciated the ability to customise it to the nth degree I was finding it slower and slower for my usual browsing.
So I switched. I may go back, but I like the speed.

I saw Kung-Fu Hussle on the weekend. It was tops.
It was a lot of good fun. Don’t see it expecting your life to be changed, see it to laugh. See it to watch groups of people fighting in totally improbable ways. Watch it to pick out the references to other movies. I think the eastern superhero is growing on me.
