Ok, that title isn’t going to make anyone fall off their chair, but, something quite cool is happening at the moment. Jon Snow is presenting the Channel 4 News live from inside the Arctic Circle. Again, in this day and age, that’s nothing extraordinary, however, at the start of the bulletin, he apologised in case [...]

I’m an extensive user of RSS, and, up to now, have been more than happy to use Thunderbird as my RSS client, given I spend a large part of my day stuck in TB reading mail, it’s a natural choice. However, at the moment, I’m regularly switching between three different computers, and there’s no easy [...]

One of the nice things about living in the countryside is peace and quite. One of the not so nice things about living in the city, especially somewhere as big and brash as London is the assault on your senses, especially your ears. Every day I try to brave it for a little while, treating [...]

Well well, it’s been a while, as usual, since I’ve put up and update on how things are going here in London, so, I figure I ought to right that. Things are going amazingly well here, I’m absolutely loving every minute of it. I can’t believe I’m hear almost four weeks already, time just seems [...]

Everything is going great, job is really cool, London is really cool, and my apartment is really cool! The weather has been fab ever since I got here too, though, [...]

Heh, cool. I’m currently sitting aboard ‘The Flying Scotsman’ on my way from London to the Peterborough office for some meetings. I fired up the laptop to do some reading, and noticed that there was a WLAN available, and, here I am, surfing away on a train shooting through the English countryside, that’s pretty neat!
