Frenchman got WII!

The Frenchman has a WII console! Brilliant, played this afternoon. I am quite new to this modern technology, but we had a few good games of bowling and tennis, for free, at the pleasure of the landlord. More pubs should do this.I urge you to head to ...

Google street view is OK'd for the UK

Here on the BBC, there were fears about it being an invasion of privacy, which would have been a shame if it goes ahead. It's funny how sometimes we're keen to give data away on social network websites and excited about every inch of the UK being pho...

Why's this Habitat Radius furniture always so far away?

Five drawer tallboy, starting at fifty quid, but it's in Cheshire. Will most likely end up waiting until we move and then buying another one of these new. It's going to be well handy having tall and slim furniture when we move from the big wide flat ...

ouch

Limited updates from me today, just shut my finger in the car door, so only my left hand is in action.Not broken, but can't type so well. Oh dear, can't do the housework either.Made my first mapplet on Friday. Going to investigate more, mapplets and ...

University Centre Folkestone Open Day Saturday 10th May 2008, 10am - 3pm

Hmm bit short notice to be sending this press release out isn't it? Including Finance Advice & Talks and the chance to win cinema tickets! The University Centre Folkestone offers full and part-time courses in the creative industries, including:* Pe...

The rest of the weekend

Went to The British Lion Saturday evening, and then sat up far too late when we got home listening to old Ricky Gervais shows. Sunday started late, we shopped, we cleaned, we ate, that was about it. Still tired today.Haha boo hoo, leave me alone, it'...

Open Source Technology

Paul;Even though you are not actively in the market for a new position, your site prompted me to contact you nonetheless. I have been retained by a fortune 500 firm in NYC to identify �open source talent�I am currently searching for 4 Sr Perl develo...

My lot are a registered company

But your you're right, that does seem slightly bullshit that you have to pay the licensing fee and then not actually be licensed...I still don't fully understand online radio, if you're paying 50 quid a month for 10 simultaneous streams, how is a rad...

RE: Scrap the licence fee

Tosh.So a company they use to make programs spiced up a show, it's hardly earth shattering. And so they messed up a couple of competitions - the technology for those things is quite flakey and no-one was hugely out of pocket like they were on Richard...

Big ass table

RE: Technology, and how it cancels itself out

I keep meaning to setup a streaming camera in the flat - to detect burglarisation or to spy on the neighbours.

Does your camera hook straight into the internet?

Technology, and how it cancels itself out

Bah, got my wireless camera working in the house at last, for the first time since we went over to BT HomeHub and all the settings changed, and what happens the very same day? The IPOD stopped working. I suspect Apple monitor the blog and heard about...

Glastonbury ticket touts FOILED!

So says the BBC, the new security measures and pre-registration mean no Glastonbury tickets on ebay, nor on any of the other online ticket touts.In other music news today, EMI are to remove DRM from MP3s, you know what those TLAs mean if you need to....

It's the end of the world.

No, not that end of the world, something a bit more lighthearted. Possibly. In an age where any security camera footage of a crime seems to be inconclusive, or not good enough quality to be of any use, or just not pointing the right way at the right ...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Interesting pop chart changes afoot, now downloads are eligible for the chart even if there is no corresponding CD single available. As this is a relatively new technology, changes are happening all the time I'm sure, but this is quite a meaty one. W...

Updates

Travel update: twenty minutes late today, eitehr track circuit failure, or track surface failure, I was a bit too asleep to hear it. How can the surface fail? Must have been circuit. Why couldn't it have been another ten mins delay, taking us into re...

RE: They look quite good to me

yes well it's only temporary. OR you could become some cult figure in the day to day life of folkestone which you would blog about (using the latest technology of course (coat hanger and a pringles tube) to broadcast on the move) which would generate...

Copy cat

Gene Simmons breathing fire at a recent KISS show to launch a new casino:Also today I'm officially PISSED OFF with technology - while transferring all the weekend pictures from the camera (including both our birthday nights out, and Jenny's hen night...

We don't really go out any more

Another smashing weekend, is it time for the next one yet? Saturday I played with the computer most of the day. Had no joy fitting the old big hard drive full of MP3s into the new computer, all the technology is different, the drive is SATA now so I'...

Web 2.0

Thinking about myspace again today, as I looked at it yesterday, there was some piece in the guardian today about how Q Magazine "hilariously" made up a band and generated a buzz about them using myspace. I am a bit out of touch with modern pop music...

What I done on my weekend

Huge weekend then, we really packed quite a lot in. Started off with a Friday off, though still a commute up to London, we had our trips to Admiralty House and Number 10, through Clare's work.Instead of snoozing on the way up to London I took the opp...

RE: Day of new technology

i live in folkestone too,ok place i suppose.....

do you know of any webcam sites of folkestone??

I.

RE: Day of new technology

Good news on the offers, especially so soon. If you get one you like then can you leave Barfly before the agreed 12 months?

Either way, you've got plenty of time to hold out for the job of your dreams.....

Day of new technology

Still no joy from the little computer, so not seen the last episodes of Lost yet. Connected Clare's PSP up to the computer for the very first time yesterday, and converted the episodes to the right format (with thanks to this how to from Engadget) an...

Ticket to Rye

we are going to Rye on Saturday, for an afternoon / evening, a look round, drinks, dinner and that... Will make a nice change, and we're going by train, so can relax (ie get boozed up). On the way back because of the way the trains work out we either...

RE: The Clarke Cup and new technology

I hope she didn't let you win! Are you both competitive? My ex and I were very competitive so in the end I stoped playing anything with her to avoid the arguements.BTW Back home we knew Switch (or Blackjack for you) as Jack Change It, but for us the ...

RE: The Clarke Cup and new technology

Don't your carpets need ironing next Saturday night?

The Clarke Cup and new technology

You know how if you spend too long in the house on your own not talking to anyone you can go a bit mad and have odd ideas? Amazingly this also works when you are married, and just the two of you stay in with no contact with other people (apart from B...

What a day of travels

Not only did we have to get up too early today to renew our travel cards, but we were held up on the way home by this fire at Paddock Wood... Still not quite rested from the weekend either, not feeling completely with it today. Had a couple of approa...
