online viewing
When Apple announced that you could buy TV shows from ITunes, obviously
my first thought was to try to get a science documentary. Somehow
I ended up downloading a Southpark episode. I like to think of my
self as unique in some kind of pompous way. However, I noted that
the top download of TV shows from Itunes was Southpark. People
in the UK clearly miss Southpark since it was pulled from terrestrial
TV.
I watched the episode "make love not warcraft". I used my old laptop.
Trouble is the scenes slowed down and sometimes stopped. The
animation on Southpark can be pretty weak, but it doesn't usually stop
for 2 minutes.
I was more successful watching "brother" downloaded from Channel4
on demand service. I originally wanted to watch a film, but couldn't
be bothered to walk to Blockbusters. Unfortunately it took
2 hours to download, so I ended watched it a week later.
Of course the software from Channel4 interfered with the BBC
iplayer software.
Of course if I was really cool I would download free stuff from peer
to peer sites. I just get nervous having to deal with viruses
and things.
Anyway Blockbusters on Byers Rd have now got a much bigger collection
of box sets. So I rented "family guy volume 3". Who needs the internet?
One of my friends asked "what are you reading", I replied "that
I was much too busy and stressed to do any reading". Umm.
