I have just taken possession of a Samsung D600 mobile phone. My old A1000 is now defunct thanks to a cracked LCD screen. The damage was caused when I dropped it on the wooden floor in the lounge while capering about. They just don’t make ’em like they used to :-). I am pleased with …

Bath
Well the weekend away in Bath went very well. The predicted nasty weather didn’t materialize. At least not in our neck of the woods. Cornwall did get it pretty bad with reports of motorists stuck on Bodmin Moor in the snow. Bath itself is a delight. As you approach the valley overlooking the city you …
Xbox 360 Released in US
The 360 has just been released in the US. Currently as I write this countless gamers will be marvelling at the excellent graphics and exclaiming over the enhanced sound. Or will they? Looking at the "have your say" section of the BBC website it seems like a lot of people will be holding fire and …
Serendipity Blog Software
I am just testing a new hosting provider, namely apisnetworks.com. I have installed in my shiny new webspace a php blogging system called Serendipity or s9y in it’s abbreviated form. My first impressions are very good. Installation was a breeze and so far it has been a solid bit of code. My previous blog software …
Summers Day in October!
I took a walk along the river this lunchtime. It’s like spring out there! The sky is blue and cloudless and it must be about 20º C. Here’s the proof that we do have good weather in England 🙂
Rush are Gods
I have been endeavouring to listen to the entire Rushback catalogue over the past two days(which is quite difficult because I don’t actually own the entire collection, especially the newer recordings ;-). It’s great however, to be able to slip on the ‘ole headphones and rock out. My bro, Balam first got me into Rush …
Names for a Boy
Now we have the issue of choosing a name. So far Jake is a hot favourite. Shannon was also mooted but the general concensus was that it was too girly. My thoughts on the matter? Well if it was good enough for the late great Shannon Hoon then it is good enough for our bairn(although …
The Spinnaker Tower
We went up the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth this weekend. It has recently opened and was in the news because of an embarrassing technical problem during its opening ceremony. The outer glass lift was still out of action but it was fun to zoom up in the inner lift. The lift takes only 40 seconds …
Scan result
What a weekend! Well it is as I thought and in five months I will be the proud father of a lovely boy 🙂 There wasn’t any doubt really. The very first image that popped up confirmed what we already thought. I am already thinking of uses for that particular image when the time comes. …
Baby scan today
Great! It’s Friday and the weekend looms. My wife and I are off for our 20 week scan this afternoon. Because of this I am finding it quite hard to concentrate at work. I have just found an excellent flash-based game based on the Battle of Trafalgar which took place 200 years ago today. Anyway …
