I updated my iPod Not Perfect page in response
to some comments made by strangers. I also added a comment link for every
section, so that people can target their comments more specifically.
I am rather taken aback by the vehemence of some of the comments. I’m
very clear on the fact that I don’t hold the iPod to [...]
The Big Cheese at There’s Posh
has somehow
discovered
this rather special site that
lets you navigate a large collection of photos of West Wales as if you’re
strolling around.
Here’s the view North
from just South of the entrance to Mum and Dad’s street. The grey building
behind the lamp post is Capel y Garn. If you click “left” you see Cardi
Cycles [...]
Phil recommends Adblock, a Mozilla extension that filters out adverts.
I’m not so sure. I frequent quite a few web sites that are funded by
adverts, and if it weren’t for the adverts then either the site would not
exist, or we’d have to pay for the content (hint: I wouldn’t). If enough of
us block ads, they’ll no [...]
Last night we watched Alien3. This is the third in a series of films in which the protagonist advocates genocide. Indeed, characters who oppose genocide are portrayed as the bad guys.
True to the film’s reputation, it’s nowhere near as good as Alien or Aliens. I don’t want to blame the director, David Fincher, for this. [...]
In what was supposedly an IBM Club event — though we recognised no other
IBMers — Debbie and I, Paul, Gary and MC went to Warwick Racecourse for the
day. I forgot to take my camera. Again.
Debbie and I set an early budget of £30 between us — amounting to a
£2.50 each way bet for each of [...]
I have no problems, but if I did, I would contact
Good Advice for All.
Whoever provides the advice seems to have their head screwed on.
A menu is framed in our canteen. I quote parts of it below, verbatim. Lynn
Truss would be proud. So would Norman Tebbitt.
Firehouse grill is re-launching with brand new menu’s to tickle your taste buds

I upgraded my Web browser from Firefox 0.9 to
Firefox 1.0 Preview
Release today.
Mostly everything ticks along as nicely as it used to. Two changes I’ve
noticed, and liked are:
The address field changes from white to yellow when you’re on a secure
page — far more visible than the little padlock icon (which [...]
Today’s Guardian has a really depressing
reality check on how things are going in Iraq.
After a lateish evening in the office, I didn’t even go home. I went
straight to the
Willoughby
to meet Debbie and Gavin, before seeing
Open Water at the
Apollo.
Tip, if you go: minimise all risk of needing the loo during the film.
I took a precautionary visit before going in, but even so, all that
sloshing around on screen forced me [...]
