I was browsing through the list of Facebook applications written in Java the other day, and happened to stumble across Bloom: “The best Facebook photo uploader!” I was a tad surprised, because it appeared to be (a) open-source (it had a link to the source code in one column) and (b) there already is a

A few various reviews and news bits… On Monday, Coldplay’s new EP “Prospekt’s March” was released. I didn’t buy the CD – I just downloaded it from 7Digital.com (£3.99 – bargain!). As I understand it, the EP is basically just songs which didn’t make it onto the album (Viva la Vida) but which are still

Well, last weekend was pretty busy once again! (It must be that time of year again, you know, the time of year that we’re really busy. That’s about three quarters of the year!) Anyway. On Friday evening we went to 21. I did the talk on “The Church” which seemed to go pretty well. On

Oh, this is funny. The BNP have lost their membership list. When I say ‘lost’, I mean – it’s been leaked onto the internet. All 12,800 members now have their names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses exposed. Oh dear. I hope this is the end of the BNP – if you read through the

We’ve been incredibly busy the past few days, and it’s not set to slacken off for a while. On Friday night we helped out at 21. I was leading and AJ did the talk. It seemed to go pretty well, although I wasn’t sure whether any of the kids were listening in our discussion group.

Yes, that’s right, more people use Google

So, I’ve been thinking about this a bit recently. At Uni, a friend of mine (Phil P) used to contend that secular music was better than Christian music. To prove this, we listened to a few Christian songs which sounded vaguely like their secular counterparts. Guess which ones were better (in our opinion)? I came

We went to see the new Bond film “Quantum of Solace” last night with Matthew and Anne-Marie. I didn’t really know what to expect, I’d seen a trailer for it but apart from that hadn’t heard much about it. As Bond films go I thought it was pretty good: it had plenty of action, and

So, this weekend Philippa and I went all the way to Milton Keynes (well, actually to Newport Pagnell – just outside MK) for the 9:38 Annual Conference. This is a conference which is geared towards people who are considering full-time Christian work, and had a variety of useful seminars and talks designed to help people

After the busyness of the past month or so, we thought it would be a good idea to have a quieter weekend this time round! On Friday evening we had AJ and Jen (some friends from Fordham Church) round for dinner. It was a really nice evening, we did a curry and I think it
