Celebrity Spotting…

When Victoria and I were in Italy last month, we walked past Noah
Wyle (Carter – ER ). He was stood back in a little booth in a side
street in Florence. He looked like he was sampling some drink or another,
a little at the back of a group of people, almost keeping in the shadows.
Anyway, as we walked past I pointed him out to Victoria with the very
enlightening, “Isn’t that thingy from ER…” to which she replied “Carter,
yes I think it is.”

Anyway, I was thinking about that this morning so did a quick Internet
search… I found a few stories that confirm that Mr Wyle and his family
were indeed in Italy the weekend before, in particular Rome (so there is
every possibility that they would have decided to take in Florence – it’s
only 180miles away, and not only that I found a picture of him in Rome
looking as he did when I saw him – same jacket etc…

The power of the internet…

…Today has been a slow news day…

Sarah Connor Chronicles

I watched the season finale of The Sarah Connor Chronicles last night; what a blinder. Personally I think this show just gets better and better. If the stupid American Tv rating system means that it gets canned then I’m going to be really pissed!

Early morning in Pisa

I’ve been up since 6am, walking the streets of Pisa. The weather was likely to turn today and I also wanted to get some photographs around the leaning tower without people in them. More importantly i needed to justify lugging my tripod with me! The cloud was just starting to blow in when I left the hotel so I figured I had about an hour before the light would dull and the rain would fall.
It was interesting that there was a few straggling site seers around, I can only presume people getting read to leave, taking the last opportunity before they go. Alternatively they could just be mad like me!
Hopefully i’ve got some half decent shots, I’ll post them when I get back.
Last night we took the last tour up the tower – just as the light was fading; that was some experience! I was very proud of Victoria who once more grappled her fear of hights to add the tower to her conquest of the Statue of Liberty!
It’s 8am now – the bells are calling people to worship – I however need a coffee!!

Accident and Emergency

Rebekah went on a school trip to Fairthorne Manor on Monday. It was her
first trip away from home. So needless to say that Victoria was a little
apprehensive to say the least, even though it was only one night.

At about 10:30pm Monday, we got a call from the Headmaster telling us that
Rebekah had managed to cut her head open; she’d been returning from the
toilet and walked into the bunk ladder ( or something like that ). Anyway,
they were taking her to A&E – did we want to meet them there.

I met them at Southampton General. Rebekah was tired but on the whole ok.
It was a nasty little cut, close to her left eye, but nothing a couple of
butterfly stitches wouldn’t sort out.

We were out of the hospital by about 12:30am, so I was home by 1am.
Rebekah went back to Fairthorne with the teachers, there was no real
reason for her not to, and she would have been devastated had she missed
the second day.

One thing that struck me about the hospital was that they have a separate
reception for children and adults; which is really nice. You can sit there
with your children and not have to worry about the drunks and the waifs
and strays.

We picked Rebekah up from School on Tuesday evening… she was shattered!

Safari for Windows – Proxy Authentication

Safari Not Asking For Proxy Password

Dull posting here, but I decided to post it in order to record a technical
problem and solution for an issue I recently had with Safari.

When running behind a proxy, Safari for windows uses the proxy settings
from IE. It’s easy to set the address of the proxy by selecting
Preferences:Advanced:Proxies – Change Settings

The first time you do this, Safari will ask you for a username and
password so that it can authenticate your connection. If you select
“remember password” it will NEVER ask you for this again. I use the word
NEVER hear loosely – it might ask you, I just don’t know under what
circumstances.

So, if your password changes, Safari has the wrong password and will be
unable to connect.

If you uninstall Safari and Reinstall it… the problem remains.

The Solutions is: Delete the keychain.plist file from the directory

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple
Computer\Preferences

This is under XP, the directory will be different under Vista.

Restart Safari and it will ask you for the authentication again.
