Last night when I was at the video store I saw two movies which I had some sort of personal interest in. Depending what is meant by the word personal of course. Anyway the first was my self titled movie, ‘D.A.R.Y.L.’. So, they spelled my name incorrectly 🙂 Actually this is a movie from the 1980’s about a child who turns out to be a robot. I have not seen this for years. DARYL stands for ‘Data Analysing Robot Youth Lifeform’. There is one immortal line in this movie – after DARYL’s best friend keeps calling his teenage sister ‘Hooker’ as a joke. DARYL asks ‘What is a Hooker?’ For some reason this is never quite explained.

The other cool movie they had there was stealth – a movie I developed some hardware for so that they could do radio surveys for filming. I did not get into the credits as I just developed the hardware for use by a company which was working on the film, and it was a really small job anyway. But I guess it is one for the memoirs.

I had an auction end last night on eBay – for a GPS module I had here surplus. I got an enquiry from the buyer if I had any more… Yes thanks. I can sell you another 14 at that price. Saves me having to keep relisting them. Too Easy. He has even paid for them already. They go out on monday.

Last night was a pain getting onto the M7… There was major road works on Norwest Blvd as they were switching over to make the intersection something that would not be called a rally course to cross the intersection. It looked like they had more people directing traffic than actually doing work. What did not help is that they allowed two lots of traffic in every direction for one lot going south on Norwest Blvd. ARGH. Hopefully it is now fixed.
