videos are great. Thanks to (mainly) youtube, the internet is full of them. However, they can take a while to load and don’t make for great content, so, unless the video is relevant to something I’m writing about, I am only going to post random videos once a week. T for YouTube, T for Tuesday. [...]

The Guardian reported yesterday that the Radio Times website is getting with the times. The site is getting a full “web 2.0″ makeover. The site will not have links to services that provide legal video-on-demand services. There was a time when I visited the RadioTimes.co.uk religiously every evening just so I knew what was on [...]

A few people were kind enough to offer some advice as to why I have display problems with Internet Explorer as mentioned yesterday. Jennifer Farley said, “It happens to me when I place an image that is wider than the main column in the post.” Im not entirely sure if this happens for me, but [...]

BEWARE THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A MULTITUDE OF CLICHÉS I didn’t have a cigarette today. You are probably thinking to yourself “Oh well done you(!)” [in sarcastic tone], whether you are a smoker or non-smoker.

I just noticed that my sidebar in Internet Explorer is way down the bottom of the page. As a Firefox user I haven’t noticed this before. The only time I use IE is in work; a more-shit-than-usual IE where flash, quicktime, streaming just about anything and much javascript don’t work. But my sidebar is at [...]

Apparently Rocketboom.com is contemplating charging users to to view the show. Show producer Andrew Baron believes that going down this path with bring in much more money than the show currently makes. That’s probably very true. What I have a problem with is the whole ‘paying’ thing. When you have 350,000 views a day and [...]

I managed to get by the whole weekend without a single drop of alcohol. Its been weird. I did find it tough resisting going to the off-license the last two nights, but I’m going to be strong, disciplined and above all, prove to myself I can do it. As mentioned briefly last week, I have [...]

Spring has arrived, and it has been showing in the weather this week. Certainly no warmer in the late evening but during the day its actually been warm. Yesterday there was not a cloud in the sky. It was all blue, and doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy? The clocks went forward [...]

I’m still here! – You can’t shut me down! Microsoft threatens Mac! (via Lex Ferenda) Something old that I rediscovered. Duane Keiser paints a postcard-sized picture everyday and posts it on his blog, A Painting a Day. Each picture has a link to the relevant Ebay listing page and bidding starts at $100. The average [...]
