Also talking about the Cover Art plugin for iTunes, the infamous "software too old" error and software update freezing and screwing up my 3G iPod. Other stuff including lucid dreaming (dreaming and you know you're dreaming) and my virtual metropolis I've been dreaming up since I was 10 (hence the skyline on my website!), a 5 star review of Coopers Dark Ale from South Australia and buying "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and "The Terminal" posters from Blockbuster.
