Merantau "The Movie"

My mate's brother made that!
How cool is that?

The Pub PC

Thanks to Nick for pointing me in the direction of "the Pub PC".
I now own an Acer Aspire One, for the princely sum of £129.00 delivered.
Its a recon model, with a 3 month guarantee, but at that price I couldn't resist.
I am now blogging in bed @8.50 Sun am. whilst Kimmy softly sleeps :-)
(Please don't tell me I'm sad - I know)
I went for the cheapest, most min spec, to specifically see how linux ran as a "netbook", and so far, I'm delighted!
If you want a portable to browse, send/recieve emails on the hoof, and even play some games it's fab.


\spec: 512mb ram, 8gb flash memory, intel atom 1.5mhz processor, 8.9" screen.

Nessun Dorma - Placido Domingo

pretty good, too! ;-)

AND with Spanish translation!

Pavarotti "nessun dorma"

Why does this make me (&kimmy) cry?

ITALIAN;
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o, Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelle
che fremono d'amore
e di speranza.

Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
il nome mio nessun sapra!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro
quando la luce splendera!

Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio
che ti fa mia!

(Il nome suo nessun sapra!...
e noi dovrem, ahime, morir!)

Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincero!
vincero, vincero!


ENGLISH;

None must sleep! None must sleep
And you, too, Princess,
in your cold room,
gaze at the stars
which tremble with love
and hope!

But my mystery is locked within me,
no-one shall know my name!
No, no, I shall say it as my mouth

meets yours when the dawn is breaking!

And my kiss will break the silence
which makes you mine!

(No-one shall know his name,
and we, alas, shall die!)

Vanish, o night!
Fade, stars!
At dawn I shall win!
I shall win! I shall win!
