Play.com download service
I was looking on play.com yesterday for a CD, and happened to notice that they’d just launched a new download service. It appears that you can download DRM-free MP3s there. Nice! The only thing is, albums are priced on average at around £7-8. This seems a little excessive for an album, especially considering that you

Getting slack!
I’m getting slack with updating this blog! I do apologise… NOT!! Bwahahahaha. Ahem. Anyway. the weekend, then… on Friday evening we helped out at 21 again. We were leading this week… it went pretty well for me – it was the first time I’ve ever played my guitar for a group of people! I only

Music built to last
I was thinking the other day – an occupation I seldom get involved with, I hasten to add – and I was wondering what music now will be around in years to come. We’re living in an age of pop music – there is probably more music produced now, per year, than there has ever

Pushing Daisies
I’ve mentioned Pushing Daisies on here a few times before. Although I didn’t like the series all that much to start with, it really grew on me (like a fungus). Anyway, I found this (from James Henry, one of the writers on Green Wing) really funny.

More Entertaining
We were doing some more entertaining this weekend! Two weekends in a row, gosh… but more of that in a moment. On Friday evening we helped out at 21 (in the new John Owen Barn at Fordham, which is very impressive). It has an earlier start time than it did last year, so we had

The Weekend
We had a couple of friends from Germany (Peter and Martina) staying this weekend. We’d been out to visit them last year, so it was good to be able to return the favour. They arrived on Saturday morning, just in time for lunch. Afterwards we headed out to Nayland for a walk around the countryside

Password Management Finally Possible
Apologies for nicking the post title (and pretty much the post content) from Joel Spolsky, but… YES! THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! *ahem* Let me explain. These days, it seems that there are hundreds of websites which you need usernames and passwords for. Unless you’ve got an exceptionally good memory, you probably

World scheduled to end today. News at 11.
So you’ve probably heard of the Large Hadron Collider that’s being turned on today.There are a group of people who are worried that the LHC will somehow manage to destroy the earth. Ok everybody, all together now, to the tune of the Eastenders theme: “Everyone is gonna die; we’re all gonna be killed in a

Anne-Marie is looking forward to reading this.
Otherwise known as, ‘The Weekend’! All will become clear shortly. So. On Friday night we didn’t do very much, as is the case these days! On Saturday we went out to do a bit of shopping in the morning, and then in the afternoon went round to Anne-Marie’s to watch some of the BBC’s version
