Fantastic cricket
The cricket today was superb, albeit ultimately disappointing what with it ending in a draw. I had the TV (that we urgently ran out to buy when the London bombings happened) sat on my desk with the volume off just looking over every now and again trying desperately to get stuff done. To be fair I [...]

For my home office I just ordered myself two of these Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW 20″ widescreen LCD Flat Panel Monitors. I got them off the back of this review which states that they are pretty much exactly the same as the Apple ones. As unique as Apple’s Cinema display might be in the world of [...]

Well a little bit… I’m working on a new design for this site as most of the current one I modified from a default wordpress template and I want something that I built myself. Anyway, the problem is that I am NOT a ‘web designer’. Yes I have worked in the Internet industry for yonks and yes [...]

Like a lot of people in the UK - and Australia of course - I’ve been listening and watching to as much of the Ashes as possible this summer, especially as England are *actually doing well*, although I guess that was the hope after the last few good series results. I’ve been really impressed with the [...]

The O’s won away at Darlington today 1-0. It was the first time that we’ve beaten them for some time and apparently the first time in 93 years that the O’s have won their first three games of a campaign, great stuff. I had my sis and Mum up - they come up from Bristol [...]

I just got back from the Loaded Dog, a pub on the Leytonstone High Road opp. Homebase. It was recommended to me by a guy I bumped into networking called John Ellis and as promised they do seem to play a lot of live music which was *exactly* what I was after. The Weds night thing which [...]

My Griffin Powermate definitely earns the title of A Cool Thing. It’s a USB volume knob. Apparently it *can* be used to control lots of different software and I can imagine it’d be good for things like video editing but whatever, all I use it for is as a volume control. It is heavy, nicely engineered and the [...]
