Average

That's what Brazil and France were yesterday. Brazil got off to a great start but in the end were lucky to win. Ronaldo was just aweful. He was running like a fat little kid, you know what I mean? That awkward kind of run. Not the run of an international superstar that's for sure. France were also lucky to draw and that's now no goals in 4 world cup final outings. They are not the France of '98, that's for sure. Thierry Henry doesn't look like the player he is for Arsenal and Patrick Vierra doesn't look like the player he was for Arsenal. Still, it's the World Cup and it's not a sprint so you can't judge a team on it's first game.

I've just installed the second Beta of Windows Vista on a spare hard drive. It looks like it's going to be very good indeed. Things I like...The gadget sidebarm a little like Yahoo Widgets. Also, the Media Centre. It's now a lot more like a fully integrated multimedia experience that looks beautiful and would easily look as good on your TV.
