Robot sheep dogs question???
If they are making robot sheep dogs, does that mean they'll be making robot sheep? And if so will we get wire wool from them??????

Robot sheepdogs
Poor old Sheps days are numbered, robot sheepdogs are set to replace him. For the last 2 years scientists have been monitoring sheepdogs with GPS trackers. they now say they understand the way the dogs round up sheep and could program robot sheepdogs to do the same job more efficiently.
Bad news Shep, when you see the farmer get his robot sheep delivered, you might want to hide his shotgun!

File sizes are getting daft!
I saved out a .Tiff file last night as part of an action I'm doing in photoshop, I moved it this morning and it seemed a bit slow to move, so I checked the file size. 347mb, for one picture of a brides face! Hells teeth, I've got about 1100 more pics to go, thats about half a hard dive full. Time for a rethink on the action.

Torch review update
It's been a few months since I did the torch reviews so I'll update it slightly.
Well which torch did I end up carrying?
The main torch will still be the refracter I reviewed a few months back, super bright and well made, it throws a good beam a long way. The surprise entry however was the cree XML T6, this small pocket torch gives an incredible light for it's size. It's also got a great spread of light, totally ideal for finding your way around in total darkness, you can easily see the side paths and overhanging branches no problem. To be honest I could live with just this torch easily.... But I do like to have a back-up.....

Inbetweeners 2 (film review)
Now I'm not really a fan of the series if I'm honest, but lots of people were saying it was good so I gave it a watch.
Lots of sexual jokes and references, with the same lads as the series (as far as I could tell) not a film to watch with an elderly aunt present.
Was it funny? Yes actually it was a lot better than I expected, with send up's of things like Harry Potter, I found my self laughing out loud a lot. Watch the background to see other stuff going on as well.
Waynes rating 7/10 I had a darn good laugh and it's not really my style of humour.

Cyber moth
North Carolina state university have developed a "cyber moth" they can control the moth by a sort of remote control. They say (and I quote) that they plan to use the moths in search and rescue applications.
Personally I see a few snags in the plan, moths don't normally carry a lot of weight, and secondly even if they manage to rescue anybody won't they eat the persons clothes first?
But by far the biggest flaw in the plan is many search and rescue operations involve a fire of some sort (plane crashes /earthquake etc) once the moths sees the flames they've had it, the entire search and rescue team will be flying around and around the fire...... Time for a rethink guys, and pick something a bit bigger next time....Butterflies maybe?????

Doctor Who (update)
I've just realised the Doctor Who I watched last night on the big screen is different to the one shown on the BBC, my version had extra footage not shown on tv. Worth all that traveling then!
