Happy April Fool's

Just seen a brilliant feature on BBC Breakfast on a newly discovered type of penguin, that can fly. Can't find it on their website, but they had video on the TV and they've apparenly roped in David Attenborough, I hope they put the footage online lat...

Where is Lost?

Lost season four starts today I think, anyone seen it yet?Also why do I still have google ads for pallets in kent when popbitch has Sky's www.wehavetogoback.com... I've seen the trailer now, let's be having the episode!...

Buffy / Doctor Who crossover

Kind of... James Marsters (Spike out of Buffy) is going to appear on Torchwood tonight, just a guest role. Also Joss Whedon was spotted at the BBC a couple of days ago, I read it on the popbitch forum (so it's definitely true...), wonder if it's conn...

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

"Caught By The Fuzz" for the "Who were Supergrass, Grandad?" generation

Lethal Bizzle's "Police On My Back" is a bit flippin' good isn't it? Who says I don't like new music, because I've listened to new music before and it's all rubbish? Oh, that'd be me.Also this week, I am listening to Suede rarities and bootlegs and t...

Justin, NO!

Not only did my spy at the Eurovision launch today inform me that Justin Hawkins is competing to be the UK entry, but now I've been sent a fairly cheesy pop duet that he's done. It's with Beverley someone, that's all I know so far, more news on furth...

The Smiths on Charlie's Bus in 1984

Bizarre, not seen this before.I love that you can get old TV online, makes me feel not so bad about eventually throwing out all those videos of old TV shows that I kept for years, someone out there has got them still... Watch as much YouTube as you c...

Roundup

Interview yesterday was good, but it's a small company and I'm still after more money than they can afford. It wis great to work on interesting projects, but I'm still holding out for a higher wage too right now, we have a mortgage and want a new hou...

Woo, new computer is on the way

I was all set to post some abuse about the unhelpfulness of the couriers used by Dell, I got the usual spiel on the phone about how they can't give me a smaller time frame than 8am to 6pm for delivery, they can't give the actual courier on the ground...

Google trends an t'ing

Google Trends is live today, this is their live, interactive and searchable version of Google Zeitgeist - see how often people have searched for what you're searching for, over time and that. See Google trends for Folkestone, hmm that's more or less ...

Half the internet is broke!

Hmm, local DNS probs maybe, or a chunk of the internet has been bombed out... www.popex.com and www.google.com and www.radiotimes.com NO, but www.popbitch.com and www.clarkeology.com and www.kissonline.com YES, it's a wacky one. And now it's all back...

Zeitgeist

Good toss del.icio.us is back up again today, this leads me to Google's zeitgeist report for 2005... this is some charts and graphs (I love charts and graphs) of on what people were searching for (and finding) this year. Interesting to see that podca...

Google Base

Google Base is up and running then... See my posted "things" here apparently, possibly a few teething troubles still. Be interesting to see how this develops, who's going to suffer as a result of google getting into the market of, er, EVERYTHING? Che...

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Regional fire centre site named

Saw on the local news that four Kentish fire centres are to be replaced with one in Fareham... seems like a sensible idea to me, though I might be missing something. This is only replacing the operations centres, answering calls and assigning jobs, ...

search engines

do u mean that MSN are indexing stuff for their search engines??

in general, how would google search for pages within a domain. for example, google searches certain parts of the popbitch site and not others...any reason for this??

Il Bacio

Next time I'm trying to find the number for Il Bacio, hopefully I'll find this page as their takeaway number doesn't seem to be online anywhere... it's 020 7249 2344 for the best garlic bread in town... The restaurant itself is at:61 Stoke Newington ...

is this your car?

the car crash I mentionedWell that's the smashed car I mentioned, the number plates have been ripped off it, maybe a case of stolen car identity like I read about yesterday in The Times... can't find the article online though, and if I could, you'd h...
