RE: Linksys WVC54G wireless camera, btinternet SMTP and gmail

I have a similar problem and I got tired of fighting with it. Most of these cameras also will send a screen shot to an ftp server so I wrote a vbscript that polls the server and then sends an email using my workplace smtp server. Obviously, you need ...

Obama mix free mp3

Get it here, not heard it yet, but I think I'd urge people to vote Obama anyway. I'm not sitting on the fence like KISS. It's obviously not my call, but how often has the Conservative candidate been the better choice?That link courtesy of billy squie...

Hmm, I might have that on vinyl too

I was obviously drunk when I wrote that. I don't have it in my itunes, so I probably don't have it on a CD, and just assumed that it was not a cd single...

Hot Leg Review - first Hot Leg Review EVER?

Was as we expected, maybe hotter, certainly smellier than I would have liked. We spent the evening secretly wishing they would play some songs that we knew - not necessarily Darkness songs, but maybe some cheeky covers, tipping their hat to their ref...

Kent Festival weekend

Why would they organise Booshstock and zoo+thousand for the same weekend? They're both fairly close (Hythe and Tonbridge) and obviously aimed at the same indie kids, this is like putting Glastonbury and Reading on the same weekend.We're not going to ...

Only light rain at Glastonbury

Some rain overnight and a little more on the way at the festival, it says here in the Times, it's hardly news at all really is it. Watched Glastonbury the movie on TV last night, partly it made me really wish I was there, but when I analysed it I fou...

Woo we won a "Seven For All Mankind" auction at last!

Clare has got some �200 quid jeans on the way for just �13 pounds. They're not as-new or anything obviously, but should still be good jeans. I am aware that is suspiciously low, there must have been some clue that the jeans were fake, that we missed....

that's obviously how your mind works

I don't recommend making your escape out of the window, it's ten floors up. There's a 24 hour concierge / porter, you'll have to get past them too. If you need any more tips, give me a shout.

A lovely offer from The Hermitage

A contributor to the forum posted about a disappointing anniversary meal they'd had at a local restaurant in January. And The Hermitage have chipped in, this story obviously tugged their heart strings like it did mine, but they've actually put their ...

Has the Red Lion recently reopened?

I just heard today that the Red Lion has been closed for the past three months, and is all spanking new after a major refit and cleanup. I've been avoiding that place for a long time, obviously long enough not to notice it'd be out of action for that...

hi hopes dashed!!

On 8th March my girlfriend and I decided to visit Cafe Belge in Canterbury with another couple who had highly recommended the restaurant to us. I must say that none of the four of us have ever received a service as rude and discourteous as we receive...

Ooh, new Holiday Extras design:

Holiday Extras, who I work for, though obviously the design is nothing to do with me. I've done some of the techie bits in the background, sorting and maps and calculating the distance between the hotel and airport and so on. Good work to all involve...

Canterbury, but not house hunting

Not a bad weekend. Started on a bum note, with a death, my sister's ma-in-law passed away unexpectedly on Friday, so thoughts with all the families involved obviously. Saturday we stayed local, didn't go to Canterbury as Clare was having lunch with h...

Windebank

Re: WindebankMy grandmother was Irene Victoria Windebank, born 1897 in Hambledon. Thus far I have gone back to Edward Windebank born 1820 Widley Hants. Can you offer me any links to living relatives or going further back. obviously I can bring her t...

You wait ages for a John Lewis Bergerac table

And then two come along at once. This one looks like a genuine sale, be lovely to think it stayed near it's opening price of fifty quid and didn't sail up to the thousand pound mark, but unlikely. As a bonus there you get to have a nose around that p...

Festive Fun

Welcome back after the christmas break, hope you had a good one. We did, felt a bit quiet though, no big late nights or anything. Kind of handy really, as I'm back in work today, I volunteered to be in on these (hopefully) quiet days between christma...

I was lucky

my boss won the opportunity to buy tickets in the second ballot and offered me the second one. Obviously I wasn't going to pass that up.

Fake GAP voucher

John Lewis Bergerac Oak TV Stand

This is what we should have got when we bought our sideboard, maybe. I am in a quandary still, I don't like the open shelves, but I do need access for DVD players and things.. This one is too high a starting price anyway, it's being sold by a busines...
