Linksys WVC54G wireless camera, btinternet SMTP and gmail

Dug out my wireless camera, to see if it could be used as a web cam - it's good quality, with sound, but more for security monitoring than sitting in front of the screen and talking. Don't think it can, but it's good to have it up and running again a...

New google walking directions (needs some work)

120 miles on foot or two miles by road, hmm. I think they put these deliberate mistakes in there just to get people talking.Talking of google, www.cuil.com is launched, they've been spidering this site for a while, it's a new search site started by s...

Famous people who have lived in Folkestone

I'm looking for help online with a puzzle that a friend at work has set, it relates to a famous grave and plaque in Folkestone somewhere. No joy yet, but I did find this PDF of Folkestone Town Crier (the newsletter of the town council). It has a cros...

Psst, wanna buy a Tracey Emin?

A GREAT day around Folkestone today, it was the start of the Triennial and there was tonnes to see. Number one activity was hunting down the Tracey Emin's before they got stolen. She'd cast several bronze sculptures of abandoned baby clothes that she...

RE: Speaking of cool

If you consider your comment about reading this in 5 years time then the moment for talking about your xmas party hasn't passed. You'll not remember it in 5 years unless you put it in here now.

Magic Numbers every bit as good as I predicted

OK my prediction of Morrissey joining them on stage was a complete fabrication, but we did get Bernard Butler appearing with them to perform "Love's a Game", which then medleyed on into "People Get Ready". They did another wacky ending of another of ...

1980s soft rock

From the UK no less! Was talking about Little Angels with a chum at work today, he remembers them playing Folkestone (on their way up) and I saw them in Portsmouth (on their way back down), here's a video:I have this on vinyl somewhere, though obviou...

Folkestone history from "manky badger"

It's not me, I am not the manky badger, but I found this blog talking about a trip to Folkestone, and how Folkestone had changed...We lived in Folkestone from September 1984 to April 1986, so I consider myself something of an expert on all things Fol...

It's not the show that's on TV, he's just being interviewed

It's on BBC Newsnight or something, but it's on at about quarter to six, so not Newsnight. The trailer was meant to be a load of outtakes from Ricky talking to camera, but it looked lame and unconvincing really.Not seen this show, so that's a treat f...

Ooh I totally goosynced

read everyone elses paranoid complaints here, in an Engadget story on it from last year, when it was new and things. Seems good so far, I've had this IPAQ for three or four years without using the calendar, now I'm all synced up with the calendar I r...

RE: I don't personally

do you want to go to anything specific, like an art gallery - or are we talking pubs and restaurants?

Quite Interesting

Went back to QI, and it was ace, glad we made the effort. I had the afternoon off, and got away on time, so I had hours to kill before the show. I went to the National Gallery, and saw some paintings, it was nice. Then I wondered around Soho grazing ...

Meet the new boss

How bizarre to have a coronation instead of an election to decide our new prime minister. I'm not sure if Gordon Brown will make a good / bad / better / worse prime minister, but it doesn't feel right to have him ushered in in this way, it's only goi...

"Only" three more series of Lost after this one

I'm still really into it, but don't entirely believe anything the producers of Lost say so will see how this report from Yahoo pans out. Apparently there will only be three more short series of sixteen episodes each of Lost after this one.Really enjo...

If only we'd known that iPods would unite and overthrow the very humans they entertained

RE: First day of school

Did I miss the 'I got a job post' ? Is this the computer game company you were talking about?

Just to be clear

That previous post was an email I received from the people who run www.sandgatedolphin.co.uk, I am in no way responsible for the dolphin stalking. I did once see the dolphin, from the distance of the shore though.Are you local then?...

Not seen episode three of Lost yet

on sites like www.thetailsection.com they're talking about a "jump the shark" moment coming up in episode six... I've only skimmed it, don't want to spoil anything I've not already seen, wonder if they really mean a "this is too stupid now, I'm not w...

Roundup

Interview yesterday was good, but it's a small company and I'm still after more money than they can afford. It wis great to work on interesting projects, but I'm still holding out for a higher wage too right now, we have a mortgage and want a new hou...

RE: Fry!

It's a two part thing. The next one is tomorrow, I think. I'm hoping it stops talking about psychiatry all the time and gets onto something useful.

RE: Feltonfleet School

All this if for a new book on the history of Westbrook House School from 1957 - 2005. It will of necessity include its amalgamations with Riverdale School/ Dover College Junior School and St Mary's Convent. The website is a talking shop where interes...

I saw Vanna Bonta coming out of Il Cielo in Beverly Hills August and then again at Crustacean getting in a Bentley in August she was with a buff girl, they were talking really intensely going over notes. Vanna was mostly listening. When they went out...

Keith Flint

From Andy:Walked into the record shop and there's this guy talking to the staff about new tracks he was working on. He had very bright bleech blonde hair, which I mistook this for being white and mocked him (in my head) for being an old man who still...
