We just have Wii sports but I got the web browser too. I think Clare will get Wii Fit as soon as possible.Very easy getting it online, it's got wifi built in, it picked up on all the networks in the building. It's not easy typing in passwords and add...

Google street view is OK'd for the UK

Here on the BBC, there were fears about it being an invasion of privacy, which would have been a shame if it goes ahead. It's funny how sometimes we're keen to give data away on social network websites and excited about every inch of the UK being pho...

There's me worrying about inflation and the economy in general

But look, free drinks, money behind the bar from a company that you don't even actually know, it's just like the old days of the first dotcom boom. I remember those "First Tuesday" or "Second Wednesday" nights or whatever they were when people who wo...

Psst, wanna buy a Tracey Emin?

A GREAT day around Folkestone today, it was the start of the Triennial and there was tonnes to see. Number one activity was hunting down the Tracey Emin's before they got stolen. She'd cast several bronze sculptures of abandoned baby clothes that she...

Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yoinks, yesterday someone chucked themselves off the roof of Bouverie Square in Folkestone, and today the end of our road was sealed off by police because of a "scene". Police were stopping anyone getting close to what had happened, so a) we had to w...

ASUS EEE big size!

Slashdot has a link to the first full review of the big size ASUS EEE micro laptop. So check it out! Despite the fact they make a pink one, I'm less convinced than I was before that this is the right laptop for (say) someone's mother. It might still ...

I met him, so he's my friend

See.Just emailed you, glad you are around:I have some kind of mounted network drive available on my ubuntu machine that 'is' my windows box. I can open a window to it, see the files in it etc, but I don't know how to find it from the command line... ...

Not sure where that came from...

... but I just got my old PC internetting wirelessly at last, without needing to buy any new bits, and by following a forum post from 2005. How many times have I tried this and failed? This time I tried something new, and it worked. I think I was ins...

Jaiku's joining Google

I forget the point of Jaiku, it was one of those Web2.0 startups that did the social networking thing, a bit Facebook, a lot Twitter (but better), for updating people who don't care with exactly what you're up to minute by minute... they were the fir...

Quite Interesting

Went back to QI, and it was ace, glad we made the effort. I had the afternoon off, and got away on time, so I had hours to kill before the show. I went to the National Gallery, and saw some paintings, it was nice. Then I wondered around Soho grazing ...

Wahey wa-ireless!

First post from the new computer, well the old, very old computer, but using the new operating system and wireless. It's not perfect, the connection does keep dropping, but that could be any number of things. It's been quite a long struggle as the ca...

"Only" three more series of Lost after this one

I'm still really into it, but don't entirely believe anything the producers of Lost say so will see how this report from Yahoo pans out. Apparently there will only be three more short series of sixteen episodes each of Lost after this one.Really enjo...

Boom shake the room!

Well I suspect you've all been frantically refreshing wondering when I'd report from this morning's earthquake! Amazingly it was three and a half hours ago now, the power was off until just recently so there wasn't a lot I could do, no internets, and...

Making your votes up

Cheers Stu for pointing out Justin has blogged about the Eurovision thing on his myspace. Are people still doing myspace then? I must admit my facebook network hasn't really bloomed like it might have done, that's what only adding people you really k...

Sports centre "dead and buried"

That's the end of the new Folkestone and Hythe sports facilities then... What about the poor consultants though? Without our millions they will surely starve!...

google you have messed up

Every search at the moment is assuming I am a virus-mongous spam robot! This is not good!We're sorry...... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your re...

Great weekend visiting family and friends, more on which later, I am pressed for time now I'm back working full time! Started yesterday, am learning all the systems, mostly PHP and XML no problems at all. It's a great place to work, huge and modern b...

RE: Tom is in my extended network

You should really blank out the pictures of his "friends" as this may be people he has never met or may not even know that they have been added to his profile. Just a thought.

RE: Tom is in my extended network

Amazing how long it took them to delete his user account given that he's been all over the news from before lunchtime today with lots of myspace.com references, particularly on BBC News 24. I was online just before 19.30 tonight and saw them delete ...

Tom is in my extended network

That's nice, wait, who is Tom..?

Hmm

The Wife has a work event tomorrow at The Tate that I was going to go to (I fancied a private viewing of the Holbein exhibition, but mysteriously now there's no room for me. Also the event got a write up in The Standard:The result of the ever-growing...

Bonus travel update

Sevenoaks turned into some sort of no go area yesterday, no trains allowed to pass through it at all, this caused carnage on the network from teh afternoon onward. Some people were held up for hours, I was only half an hour late home, but still not t...

RE: That's top of my list too

In some news story or other it said it had been financed using credit cards. What credit card companies were giving them that kind of cash!I can't see Google shutting it down, though the whole social networking thing is still relativally new (as a ph...

Front page of the Herald this week, and here it is on ickent...A KILLER dog virus has struck in Folkestone, claiming three victims and it is feared it will spread.The deadly parvovirus has killed three dogs from the same household and a vet has warne...

Excitement for this week:

Hmm, so far not much. I am mostly pinning my hopes on one job offer that I'm expecting to hear back from any minute now. It's a really good fit for my skills and experience, I only hope I don't get "gazumped" by someone offering to do the job for hal...

This video is great

Got this from geekzine (via del.icio.us) where they seem to be under the impression it was a real pilot of a real show, it's an excellent spoof of all the best shows of my youth... I bring you HEAT VISION AND JACK!Too hot for much thinking today, and...
