So I managed to turn up to Johnny Foreigner and Dananananaykroyd last night at The Proud Galleries, Camden (unlike Monday and The Weakerthans, oops). We got there a bit late and missed Tubelord, who were very good so I’m told. Awesome gig, plenty of energy from both bands and some cracking music. Good stuff. Shame […]

But Not This One…
Going to see Johnny Foreigner later this week. Getting excited.
Recovering from an excellent London Web Week at the moment. I don’t think I’ve drunk as much since I was a student, also probably learnt more in a single week than at any time since I was a student (I’m even trying to […]

The afternoon at DDD6 was a much less intense:

First up was ‘Stop showing me Silverlight, build something dammit’ presented by Chris Hay

Yesterday I went on a bit about Google Earth. It appeared that the guys at google opened up the sign-up to it for a while today as I managed to get it installed on my box at work (Yesterday I only got to see it on someone elses PC) and have a good old […]

Well I got a look at Google Earth at work this lunchtime and it looked bloody good. So I wait until I get home to install it on my laptop and what do I find: -
Google Earth downloads temporarily delayed
Thanks for your interest in Google Earth, but we’re sorry we can’t offer you […]

I have a lot of data. That is to say I have a lot of data and it’s not very well organised. Somehow I have managed to accumulate about a Terabyte of stuff on my servers. Now I know what your thinking - “that’s a lot of Porn”. Well no, I’m not some obsessive […]

One thing I love to do is to spend a bit of time on Wikipedia filling in gaps and adding little snippets of information. I guess it’s just the know-it-all in me forcing its way to the surface. I’ve just spent the evening adding pages about an island in Indonesia I’ve never been to […]
