Test post from my new Android phone…

…it’s just childhood behaviour.
Whilst I’ve been looking after Amelia whilst Bex has been working this week I’ve been taking some photos of the cat, the pretentiously named Lucy Madison!

And my personal favourite one was as I got my laptop out to start putting some photos I had taken of my journey down (and to watch [...]

I don’t really have a lot to put today as I’m pretty knackered and haven’t had anything non-work really happen. I’m slightly pissed that I’ve gone way over minutes for this month and Bex has ran out of freebie texts so it’s been limited to a few phone calls from work and texts and what [...]

…they crawl in like a cockroach, leaving babies in my bed.
Wow, what a mad couple of weeks. I’ve finally moved. I’ve been in my little flat apartment (!) for coming up to three weeks and I’m getting closer to making it look all like my own.

Without getting all sad and boring and listing everything [...]

..but I think it’s you that needs saving the most.
Welcome, one and all to my world. Breaking news. I’ve had a day off. Although I’d kind of promised that I was going to go in on my day off I made an executive decision this morning to spend the day catching up on TV, washing [...]

Okay, so I should have* been spending time doing wage cost stuff and planning for our entry into winter… but instead I thought it’d be much more fun to watch some of the insanely brilliant LoadingReadyRun and fix my webcam. So you can now track my every move 10 seconds at a time, of course [...]

Where I ramble about crap and phones and stuff…

Miro, the open source, open access, open distribution and pretty much anything else open titled has just released it’s, hopefully, penultimate version before the milestone 1.0 release. So, along with Preview Release 3 they’ve also gone head to head with the media’s current star pupil, Joost.
For those that don’t know, Joost is an on-demand, streaming [...]

So, as you guys may of noticed a few months ago Apple released, with as little fanfare as possible, a phone. It was named in the same vein as nearly all their other products. The iPhone.
When it was released many people wrote many, many, many, many reviews of the phone and most level headed people [...]

Oh, how I love Marty McFly.

’nuff said.
Thank the lord for ITV2 running old movies all the time. It’d be nice if they ran all three of the movies instead of just the second one all the time. But I guess that’s why I have the box set? And just in case anyone didn’t know. Favourite [...]

As Steve Litchfield from AllAboutSymbian.com constantly tells us. The n95 is a convergence device, perhaps the ultimate in this. One guy does it the old fashioned way, thanks to flickr!

Anyways, off to Crishna’s for the weekend.

…but it’s all gone
I’m a gadget slut, I know. But today I went to see the nice people at phones4u and I managed to twist their arm into letting me drop my contract 8 months early and get a N95 on Vodafone. So it’s so long 3 and welcome back to the big red speech [...]

..I’d do anything just to fall asleep with you..
Right… off to Wolverhampton, the City of Dreams, for two days. Back on Sunday night!
Rock on

So, always one to follow orders (!) I’m going to go to LugRadio live this year. Just got to decide whether to be there both days and stay in a “official LRL” hotel or to just go for the one day and come back at the end of the day.
Anyways… sorry for the lack of [...]

Now, I don’t need these videos and I’m not suggesting anyone that reads the site will need them as I’m guessing that most people know how to use a Wiki and RSS. But I just think they are quite cool how they are done.. Anyways, watch!
Wiki-ing in Plain English

My only annoyance with [...]

Today.. it’s all about the software.
Democracy Player
Tag : The free and open source internet TV platform
So, Democracy Player is a amalgamation of Channel Guide, staight http downloader, BitTorrent Client, File organiser and Video Player all rolled into one Python application. From what I can tell it borrows from VLC, Mozilla’s Gecko and Xine to help [...]

Bloggers “crossed the line” when they posted a software key that could break the encryption on some HD-DVDs, the AACS copy protection body has said.

And on a completely unrelated note, I found this string of numbers to be quite cool looking, don’t you think?

As ever Red vs. Blue’s Public Service Announcements are packed full of information to live our lives that little bit better. This one focuses on our insatiable need to go, go gadget…

If you want to watch all the PSAs then you can go here to a new page I’ve made that lists all 15 currently [...]
