Eggheads?

What's happened to Eggheads on BBC IPlayer? It's VANISHED! I've got used to watching it every day when we get in from work...Also my torrent speed seems a bit slow, not that I am trying to download the new episode of House or anything. New series of ...

Hot Leg Review - first Hot Leg Review EVER?

Was as we expected, maybe hotter, certainly smellier than I would have liked. We spent the evening secretly wishing they would play some songs that we knew - not necessarily Darkness songs, but maybe some cheeky covers, tipping their hat to their ref...

Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

Too old to rock

have my new starter at work, our industrial placement from Canterbury University for the year. He seems a nice guy, but in making conversation I asked him what he was listening to... Simply Red! Phil Collins! Robbie Williams! This guy is not even twe...

Kosso bigged up on techcrunch

They call him a seesmic.com clone but they like him... I thought phreadz.com was still a secret actually. For the uninitiated, it's like a chat room / message board, but based around your webcam. So many people have them these days that it makes sens...

Do The Indie Kid

MJ Hibbett has a new single:Do The Indie Kid is OFFICIALLY out on April 7th but you can get in early RIGHT NOW and buy the 7" Single version (here), if you'd like to. Mr Steve Lamacq played it last week and it sounded GRATE on the radio (I thought so...

Some popbitch updates

Had a quiet night in last night, while Clare was out down Chambers with her bro, putting the world to rights. So, did some coding that I'd meant to do for ages, and put a new "new" feature on the popbitch board; posts that are new since your last vis...

RE: Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

You can download The Colour of Magic at UKNOVA.org...I have and so far its rather good.

I would normally say "but it's too hard"

but having seen all the downloadable tunes that are IMPOSSIBLE to play, I think a real guitar might be easier...

Ricky Gervais XFM radio show MP3s

Do you have any? Been listening to lots of Ricky Gervais recently, old radio shows from XFM, and they're great (if repetitive). Now we want more, and we want earlier. The oldest show we have is from November 10th 2001, which I think was an officially...

'PAQ to life

Yesterday's IPAQ battery investigations seem to have paid off, the little computer has come back to life again. I tried every special key combo known to man, and changing the power adapter, but I'm I'm pretty sure it was the threat of selling it off ...

Cheaper DRM free downloads from play.com

Announced earlier this week, www.play.com have only got EMI on board so far, but that's a big chunk of the record industry. The tracks will be free of DRM so you'll be free to play them on any player and copy from computer to computer I think, also t...

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

KISS to headline Download!

SWEET! There's a rumour that KISS are headlining the Download Festival at Castle Donington on Friday 13th of June! Seems a pretty strong rumour, and I was thinking of going to a festival this year anyway. Looks pretty likely that this will now NOT co...

Fareham plays its part in the war on tourism

A local story that was doing the rounds yesterday about a couple being banned from Fareham shopping centre for life (for taking photos of their grandchildren) was picked up by Boing Boing. Apparently the guard who threw them out said they posed a ter...

A festive update from Hibbett

Hacking the WidePod

OK, I have not actually hacked the new ipod Touch yet, I do not have one and have not seen one in the flesh, but I wanted to have a post on subject anyway. I love the idea of being able to go online on the device, but if it's all geared towards just...

Rated 4.43/10 on Folkestone Gerald

Don't be planting ideas like that!

It's not just average plod, I'm not sure how anyone would be able to look at my IPOD and be able to tell which tracks I'd ripped myself and which ones I'd downloaded (except for the ones that say "rIpP3d 3y sUp3rh4x0r" in the ID3 comment tag).I'm not...

RE: Glastonbury ticket touts FOILED!

I think their argument would be "to cover the inevitable piracy" but I'm with you - the less the charge for tracks the less people would bother to pirate them. If they can get down to somewhere between 15-30p per track they'd make a mint. Why would...
