Frequent readers of this blog will know that I spend a huge proportion of my time talking about computers, but every now and then I venture out into other subjects. I’ve talked in the past about Digital Rights Management (DRM) … Continue reading →

One Higher

Posted on 4/4/2008 by BigAl

I spent some quality time with BBC’s iPlayer this evening catching up with The Apprentice, the only real reason to pay a license fee. And I happened to notice that the volume control goes up to 11. Aye, very good … Continue reading →

I have a MyMiniCity. It’s here. For reasons that remain unexplainable, it has become relatively important to myself, Ruthy and mrBen, that the city grows and continues to grow. So every day (more or less) without fail, we go to … Continue reading →

If I had time/money/etc

Posted on 28/2/2008 by mrBen

Another good idea ™ from the stables of the ‘Moose. Actually – this probably isn’t all that original, but I wanted to post it online anyway. I’d really like to see an online groceries shopping system which, rather than being … Continue reading →

New website

Posted on 3/10/2007 by mrBen

I’ve decided to set up a new (Web 2.0 BETA) website. It’ll be called CompareTheConfusedElephantMoneyMarket.com and will be a useful site to help you choose between the many options you have for insurance price comparison websites. I’m kidding, of course, … Continue reading →

Or, if you’re not expecting much, it’s exactly as good as you think. (This isn’t an in depth review of the game and you’d do better looking elsewhere for that.  This is just a personal grump about it.) I had … Continue reading →
