Great weekend (belated weeekend-o-blog)

Great as in really good and great as in just enormous, fitted quite a lot in. Clare was out in London Friday night, and had got a hotel so I was planning to meet her later and we'd stay over so as to have a nice Saturday there too. Work is busy as ev...

RE: David Devant top ten

Contact (1239 Listeners) Extrapolating up this must be the David Devant song that has been heard by the most peopleContact is from their third album (power words for better living). Actually this is a good single as it has a cool accoustic version of...

David Devant top ten

Just browsing last.fm to see if anyone's mentioned the David Devant gig at the 100 Club (and they haven't), but I see this top ten of their tracks most listened, by users of last.fm. Who have installed the software, that monitors what you're listenin...

PHREADZ podcast

Well sort of. Some of the content from Kosso's phreadz.com is also available in MP4 format, which is kind of handy for ipod video. So I'm hoping this feed will populate my ipod with the fascinating conversations these guys are having. Only some of th...

Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

Strange time travel

As previously possibly mentioned, I am listening to old Mark Radcliffe radio shows, on the mp3. Just listened to the last ever graveyard shift show on Radio One, and then (in exactly the wrong order) the first ever graveyard shift show from 1993. And...

My recommended events

Cool, just discovered my recommended events at last.fm, and I see loads of bands that I like or liked in the past are playing live about now, including bands that I didn't really know were still going, including Love / Hate, Sheep on Drugs, Ricky Spo...

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

Good job too !

Nah, I'm afraid the station took a bit of a battering (DDOS attack) from a bunch of Turkish hackers who for no obvious reason took a dislike to the station website. They went after who they thought was our ISP & ended up taking out internet access fo...

Jaiku's joining Google

I forget the point of Jaiku, it was one of those Web2.0 startups that did the social networking thing, a bit Facebook, a lot Twitter (but better), for updating people who don't care with exactly what you're up to minute by minute... they were the fir...

"Caught By The Fuzz" for the "Who were Supergrass, Grandad?" generation

Lethal Bizzle's "Police On My Back" is a bit flippin' good isn't it? Who says I don't like new music, because I've listened to new music before and it's all rubbish? Oh, that'd be me.Also this week, I am listening to Suede rarities and bootlegs and t...

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...

How I am the best at IPOD / genres / tagging / etc...

A valued chum just posed these questions by email, and it fired me off in a huge response, so I thought I'd whack it up here too...1. When you have a CD what are you using to rip the CD, what bitrate and what codec are you using?2. what is the minimu...

yea i talk about throwing them away

I mostly just mean storing them. I do have masses of cd's I got sent free that i've never listened to though, will probably get rid of them.

Drought, in the fields, the fighting's just begun...

How irresponsible are Amazon right now? They're advertising this 'domestic' high pressure washer (400 litres per hour) and this upright high pressure washer (530 litres per hour) on their home and garden homepage. I went there looking for things to a...

So, super weekend

After my little Down Street excursion, we had a great weekend. Technically it was extended by half a day, but it felt very quick indeed... Started off giving the twins their birthday presents round ours, they turned five already, and seemed mostly pl...

Up to my arse in javascript

Doing some testing on here that I'll be using on popex and our company intranet, you'll be able to expand / shrink threads on the page. Hopefully by default any threads that were posted since you last visited will be open by default, and anything old...

Santa Barbara

On leaving San Francisco and Monterey we went to Santa Barbara... This was a LONG drive, but quite a nice one. Where possible we stuck to Cal-1 the pacific coast highway, but we had to go back on route 101 for part of it. Tough call to make, Cal-1 is...

Not listened to it yet

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Well, great weekend in London with all the family, though it got off to a bit of a damp start for me... Left work at 5, picked up some beers and headed to our hotel to meet Clare, and got caught in the FIERCEST downpour ever! Frantically tried to dry...

New Bluggcast

There's a new Bluggcast, I listened on the way in today. Still a bit squeamish about the funny voice concept, but check it out. On a not entirely unrelated note, Jon, stop talking over Jo! She's much more interesting than you...From their show I lear...

Mushroom Magic

Double bill of mushrooms today, a WHOPPER of a wild bracket mushroom spotted right outside our flat for starters. Not actually eating starters, it doesn't look like it's an edible one to me, but I will go off, look it up and come back and change this...

afternoon

haven't listened to music at all on the IPAQ, I have the IPOD with me more often than I am carrying my little professor... I should have a go really, and I'm sure I will soon... might end up giving the IPOD to Clare for commuting, so could chuck some...

have u listened to the latest engadget podcast?

i havent been listening to it that long, but every week it seems to become more of an ad hoc manifesto about life+technology...it doesnt really represent the latest stories on the website. nonetheless, it's quite interesting, particularly their views...

yo

im here. been poorly with glandular fever and am writing from me bed.was wondering if you knew off the top of your head where i could get a decent amount of webspace with some email accounts chucked in? i would be willing to pay a bit...if i have to!...

iPod Photo

Didn't see this coming, though www.engadget.com did, I heard them mention it on their podcast.Getting right into this podcasting lark (or rather the "podcatching" side of it, I am only listening and not producing... Listened to Adam Curry's Daily Sou...

Keira

I think keira is the most beautiful person in the world.And she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. When I met her at the King Arthur world premiere after-party, she came up to me with a huge smile on her face and she was the swee...

Nickelback

Not listened to this yet, but it sounds like it might be an amusing bootleg - cunningly mixing Nickelback with Nickelback.

Off ring shopping this afternoon, gulp.

Hey Hey 16k

The b3ta flash movie for MJ Hibbett's "Hey Hey 16k" is available for public consumtion now, check it out...Off to Ghost of the Robot at Islington Academy tonight, I have listened to a few tracks now and it's not that promising. Still good to meet up ...

Their Islington Academy gig is sold out anyway, hope you got your tickets when I first mentioned them... and wishing I'd listened to them when I first heard of them too...Stellastarr @ The Cornerhouse, Middlesbrough, Cleveland (Fri 14 Nov) [info / de...
