I spent most of the night (till 5.00am) watching the talent promenading up and down JP Alley. It's one of the best late night vantage point for girl watching. Basically, they come to you. You just have to sit there and eventually most of the girls on the street will pass through the alley at some point of the evening.
Tonight should be a big night for the bars as mongers one and all will try to find some company for the Thu/Fri/Sat shutdown. Don't be slow out of the blocks or you'll only find grannies left.

- I was in Club Blu again last night and it was as busy as ever. They now have 35 girls on the books and are hoping to add another 10 in the next couple of weeks. From the amount of business they're doing it looks to me like they're going to hav e long term success rather than just being a short term novelty. These guys have the magic touch when it comes to running successful bars.
Whilst I was there I spotted Nicky slipping upstairs for an ST with ?. All I could see of the guy was he was wearing what looked like Arab sandals and he's carrying a few too many pounds on his rear end. There's a free bottle of Heineken to the first one to name the ?. Nicky need not apply.

- Top 10 Free Programs to make the most out of your MP3 Collection - Ok, you’ve got loads of music on your computer but is that all cluttered, unorganised, unmanaged and simply not easy to access? May be you need to do something. Literally hundreds of free software apps let you play, organize, burn and do lots more with your digital MP3 music collection. Have a well tagged, sortable music collection that you can be proud of!
Here comes a carefully chosen list of free programs that might help you squeeze the best out of your MP3 collection.
Part I - Audio Players
The default audio player software on your Windows is probably not enough, when it comes to extensive features and customizability. Here’s a pick of the best media players that can let you sort through and efficiently play most audio formats on your Windows computer:
VLC Player - It’s more light on resources that you would imagine. VLC is a very versatile player - throw any odd format, and it plays them for you instantly (FLV included).
Winamp - Winamp has its own fans, it’s customisable to a large extent and can come as a great saver. If you listen to music every other day, you need to have Winamp installed. A similar player is Jet Audio.
Songbird - A feature rich application that has great looks, go for it if your Windows computer has got some memory to spare, it’s reviewed here. You can customize it by adding extensions (similar to Firefox).
Part II - Organizers/Taggers/Jukeboxes
Jukeboxes are music software that come with amazing capabilities. Go for them if you have huge music collections scattered all around - not just in your computer, but also in audio CDs.
Media Monkey - The best piece of software out there that you’ll love using. Tag editor, format converter, CD recording, iPod support, you name it - it’s got all the tools that squeeze the best from your tracks.
J River Media Jukebox - Very pretty, has good features. And might serve as a good jukebox.
MP3 Tagger - The best ID3 tagger out there in the market, that’s free as well.
Magic MP3 Tagger - Update: Oops, sorry guys this is not freeware.
Part III- Rippers, Converters
Audio Grabber - Fantastic audio ripping software, with FreeDB tagging support included.
Part IV - Audio Editors
Trust me, as far as I know, there’s no free editor as much capable as the professional ones out there. But still if you’d like to do some basic recording and effects, you could try these:
Audacity - Open Source, and is very light weight.
Wavosaur - Comes with no installer, and is a single exe file that does the job. Supports WAV format
Part V - Other
Last.fm - A social networking site for audiophiles out there. Listen, get interesting tracks based on what you’ve played, and add friends! More such music sites here.
Tunatic - A song is playing on your head, but you just can’t get it’s title right? Then download this, install, hum the song through your mic and let Tunatic locate info on the song for you!
Audio Files GDS Indexer - Google Desktop Plugin - Install this one if you have got Google Desktop installed. Adds a bunch of functionality to the Desktop Spider to make it more friendlier towards Audio files.

- Post-It Notes For Your Desktop - There’s a Scratch Pad gadget in Google Desktop for capturing text notes without opening external applications like Outlook or Notepad. It's a fairly decent solution but if you are looking for more powerful digital post-in notes for your computer screen, consider Hott Notes - they are again free and closely mimic the real 3M Post-It Notes.
Hott Notes offers some unique features - you can either write normal text notes or compose a TO DO list or switch to the scribble mode and draw on the sticky note instead of writing any text. Hott Notes provides a portable version so you can easily use the program from a USB Flash drive and carry notes where you go.
Your sticky notes stay in the background but once you invoke the Note Desktop mode - all other windows get dimmed except the notes - that makes managing notes very easy [via Digital Inspiration]

- Will Roger's views on growing older...
First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've travelled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Tenth ~ Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf
And finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
