- @JasonCalacanis - Watching you interview Ev on the phone. And I need video for this why? MP3 please, MP4 is for turtleneck wearers. #

- Vista laptop arrived back “repaired” i.e they replaced Vista with XP!! Stable so far, will monitor closely. #
- Damn, couldn’t stop myself looking at Heroes page on Wikipedia and ruining some surprises. I’m an idiot. #
- Just realised how weak Thunderbird address book is. Imported CSV into an address book but no way to bulk add all to a mail-list. What can? #
- Just invited all the LouderVoice Beta Testers to start publishing reviews to their blogs. Problem reports already which saves us pain later. #
- Ended up doing CSV->LDIF in TB on XP. Then LDIF->Evolution on Fedora and then drag-drop to mailing list in Evolution. All to BCC a few #
- didn’t think of CRM. Good idea! #
- doh, forgot to use “d” to send that message direct. #
- New design proposal for LouderVoice looks sweee-it! #
- Another awesome US Office and a pretty good Studio 60. Very tempted to get first series of Heroes on DVD and watch all the way through. #

Review of Casino Royale (2006) Movie
Posted on April 3, 2007, by Conor O'Neill, under Bandon.
Best Bond since Goldfinger. Great plot, good acting, actually exciting stunts.
Rated as /5 on Apr 03 2007 by Conor O’Neill
Initially everyone hated the idea of Daniel Craig doing Bond. Then the movie came out and they all ate crow. We finally saw it on DVD over the weekend and it was worth the wait.
It’s back to the cold, harsh, darkly witty Bond of old with so much of the baggage of thirty years discarded. The only real gadget was a portable defibrillator to restart his heart. The vodka martini line was turned on its head and many of the stunts/action sequences were not ridiculous.
Craig acts well but I don’t like the permanent pout. However the dangerous edge he adds is just perfect. As ever the Bond girls were disposable but easy on the eye.
The fight scene on the cranes was the most over-the-top bit but was brilliantly executed and I’d watch it again. There was finally some subtlety in the baddies/goodies with the wild card of the African guys being a nice touch.
Probably the best action/spy movie I’ve seen in the past few years.
