I’m not that more awake than I was last night, but at least it’s daylight First of all one observation I must make about these types of dinners, there’s an advantage that is especially obvious when in a private room: there are no queues to go to the ladies. According to the sign up sheet, […]
Archive Footage
IS the BBC getting lazy? Yesterday a TV report in to bullying by mobile by children was accompanied by footage of children texting on phones that are so out of date that the children have probably left school by now. Today we get a story about an extradition of a man for alledgedly hacking into […]
London Geek Dinner
Went to this months Geek Dinner this evening, arranged by Hugh MacLeod and with special guest Robert Scoble. A very pleasant evening it was, chatting with plenty of people whose names and links I’ll add in the morning! Meanwhile, photos are over here.
Note to self
Note 1: next time you leave the office in a hurry, check you have your house keys. Note 2: Notice this fact before you’ve reached the house and have to take the cab back into town
XXX
Amongst ICANNs preliminary approval of some new Top Level Domains, (.cat, .jobs, .mobi, .post, .travel), I think using .xxx for pornogrpahy sites is just wonderfully ironic.
New Tablet
Despite having the new laptop for nearly a week, I’ve not had much chance to do much with it as not been able to set it up correctly. I’ve been out and about late, so have not had internet access (whilst awake enough!) If I was one to name my PCs I’d call it Kitty, […]
Photo Usage

Go-karting
Go-karting was lots of fun. I’ve never done it before, so it was a good challenge. After a briefing about all the rules, with lots of safety tipos, we all (there were 12 of us) got kitted out and ventured out onto the track. You sit about 6 inches off hte ground, in front of […]
Racing life
A quietish weekend. Friday I went go-karting and then took a trip to Silverstone to watch some cars going round and round a track. Surprisingly, considering I have never watched a Formula 1 race, the behind the scenes bit was fun. One of my company’s brand is sponsoring the Mercedes McLaren team come August and […]
Borrowing
I see in the logs that one nice person has been ‘borrowing’ one of the images on the blog to provide a background image. So I’ve changed it to reflect his attittudes. Here’s the image as it now appears. I would not mind if he’d asked and then hosted on his server, but not when […]
Quick Reads
On the way in to work this morning, I was considering my first-read feeds, those blogs for which i scan my feed list and read first if I am short of time, like this morning. And then, by co-incidence I find a sort of similar posting here, from Evan Erwin. (via Doc Searls) In no […]
