Just a quick update about what happened over the weekend… on Friday evening, Foz came up to stay! 🙂 We didn’t do much, apart from watch the first DVD of “An Evening with Kevin Smith”. It was absolutely hilarious, Kevin Smith is a very funny guy! On Saturday, Philippa and I went over to my…

Matthew made a blog post the other day about search engines: in an article, Google came out with one of the worst privacy policies of any internet company. Matthew wanted to try out some various different search engines… read the blog post for more info! Anyway, I’m a fan of the Google search engine in…

Currently the number of downloads of my Facebook Photo Uploader stands at 47. And yet… there are three users. How is that supposed to work then? I’m wondering if it’s some automated web crawler which has picked up the link from here… seems strange that they would download something like that though! I’m just trying…

Hmm, I just realised that I didn’t write my customary “The Weekend” post this weekend. Well, I’m afraid that it was such a long time ago I can’t really remember much of what happened! It did involve going over to my parents’, as it was my Dad’s birthday. It also involved watching “Hot Fuzz” on…

If anyone wants an amp and speakers (mobile DJ style), please visit one of my eBay auctions. Cheers!

Ok, firstly, a quick update on what happened over the weekend! On Friday evening, Phil’s sister Roz came up to stay with us. We didn’t do much on Friday as Phil was at a church music practice, we just watched a couple of episodes of “Spaced” and … well, that’s about it really. On Saturday,…

You know, Opera. The browser, not “The Marriage of Figaro” kind. I downloaded it the other day because we were doing some testing at work, and there was a bug in a page which for some reason only happened in Opera (don’t worry, it wasn’t Opera’s fault…). Anyway, I decided to give it a go…

They say that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, I would like to modify that slightly: “necessity and annoyance are the mothers of invention”. If something is annoying enough, you’ll want to change it. I guess that’s not really invention, but still… There are a couple of things which have been annoying me recently,…
