Full stereo sound
…which is the state of my hearing after an annoying time with Sinusitis, and ear infection and an excess of ear wax. For the first time since before Christmas I have full hearing in both ears! And seeing as the … Continue reading

The joys of Lego
Right, let’s see a show of hands. Who here likes Lego? And although I can’t see any actual hand raising, for the purposes of this post I’ll take it as read that you did raise you hand. Preferably at work … Continue reading

Train Etiquette
OK – I thought I would lay this out, after the disgraceful incident I had this morning. Where you have 4 train seats in a 2×2 configuration, where 1 and 2 face 3 and 4 respectively, and 2 and 4 … Continue reading

Weirdy Beardy
Well, after a little bit of hum-ing and haw-ing, I’ve grown myself a goatee. Only got a few days growth on it so far, but we’ll see how it goes. I might even post a photo if you’re lucky mrBen

Proof
Go to pretty much any website that takes personal details these days, and you’ll find a link to their privacy statement. This generally says something along the lines of ‘We won’t share your details’. My question, after an incident this … Continue reading

So cool I had to tell someone
OK – maybe you don’t think it’s cool, but I’m dead chuffed with myself. Following on from the installation of a Samba’d network RAID drive that I chronicled here I set myself another task – not much of one for … Continue reading

Unnecessary Requirements
Recently I, and more particularly Heather, have been enjoying the delights of Bomberclone, a clone of the classic Bomberman game. To be honest, it’s a great little game, with cool graphics, and funny sound effects. And it’s addictive as hell. … Continue reading

R.I.P. Hunter S. Thompson
I’m a bit low just now. It’s not enough that it’s Monday, I just found out that Hunter S. Thompson, famed American “Gonzo” journalist, died over the weekend. I’m not sure but from the reports I’ve seen it looks like … Continue reading

IDN Issues
Those of you who read the blogmarks (over there ————> ) may have noticed some recent press about a ‘Firefox Exploit’ (which is neither a Firefox problem, nor an exploit – see workaround details here among other places). A few … Continue reading
The Cell Chip
I have to confess that I’ve avoided much of the press about the new ‘Cell’ processor that IBM, Sony and Toshiba have developed, and which is slated as the heart of the new PS3 console. However, when I came across … Continue reading

Small and integrated vs All-singing
As a self-confessed open-source-ophile (I don’t yet class myself as a ‘zealot’…..) there are a number of projects that I keep an eye on, without necessarily being an active user. 2 such projects have been Mozilla Sunbird, the calendaring part … Continue reading

Review: Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Part 2)
(see also Part One) Ok – that game is now over, so it is time to write some final reflections in full reflecto-vision. To add to my cons list from before, I would add Zombies – they are particularly annoying, … Continue reading
I did it
Oh yes. I did it. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is now complete!!!!! Part 2 of my review will arrive shortly (once my hands have stopped shaking). mrBen
Another great investment for public transport?
First things first. I believe in having a quality public transport system. I believe that, for the money we’re paying, the buses should be reliable and clean. I don’t believe that money should instead be spent on wee television sets, … Continue reading
For all your comic book database needs…

Everyone Deserves Music?
You would think so. Well, check out Michael Franti & Spearhead. I went to the concert last year (or was it the year before?) with the Edgemeister. And it rocked. So you can find the guys at the above link … Continue reading

The video nights are back on
And I’m sure this means nothing to you but, for myself and Ruth, it’s a good excuse to show films that some people might not otherwise watch. We had a select few last night, having only told people about it … Continue reading
