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...

More Terry Pratchett

That signed copy of Nation is riding high at over a hundred quid today. Just having a browse around ABE Books at more Terry Pratchett, someone's selling an ex-library copy of The Light Fantastic for �500, that's what I've got. Nice to have an origina...

Apothecary cabinet went for �395

See it here, wonder if it will reappear on the listings again. Could have been a proper bargain, but that picture looked suss, like someone had revarnished it themselves.Speaking of REVARNISH, well kind of, I keep looking at words and thinking "that'...

Sandbanks Restaurant, The Pavilion, Wear Bay Road - Sat 23rd Aug

I haven't written one of these reviews for a while and, to be honest, I wondered whether I ever would again. There are only so many times you can be bothered to write something about crap food served by people who don't give a damn about good food o...

The Death of Twitter

Last Bus Home has the details. I hope it's true, I'm glad, can't be doing with it at all myself. I think I said before, it seems to me like someone thought blogging was a bit of a hassle, having to think of something to say and then saying it, if onl...

RE: Lovely wedding!

wheres devon on your pub mapplet? eh?

�1.5k for the month? My mortgage is more than that!

Actually it's not, but it could conceivably be.

Yes I would think you need a proper "pad" in order to let it out for a decent amount of money, everyone must be on the make in the right parts of town.

Google mapping cars in Folkestone?

Tesselate says google mapping cars (that they're using to do the street view on google maps) are "about", not sure if that means Folkestone. Just wondered if she was a Google employee, as we have the google mapping cars about now, and I guess it woul...

Lovely wedding!

Went to a wedding at the weekend, and it was lovely. Got out of work early Friday, trained up to meet Clare at Auberge, then a step around the corner to The Wellington at Waterloo to get a real ale, then another step around another corner to a pub th...

Zoo thousand and HATE!

The Zoo Thousand Port Lymne festival sounds like the festival was awful, no-one really has a good word to say about it at work. At least two of the headliners did not play (but as the headliners were Athlete and Dizzee Rascal) that's not necessarily...

I bought a thing

This is what I bought at the boot fair yesterday, but was too traumatised to write about because of squished finger:It's a valet like this one, but a bit nicer I think. It looks older than it is and I've no idea what wood it's made out of, it's been ...
