Two very interesting articles on teh interweb [sic!] show a serious change in the state and direction of internet…I wonder if in 20 years time we’ll look back and identify this as the tipping point ? Macs to get AV Windows usage dips Time will tell ;0)
About 10 days ago Mrs.B took the minx (TM) to a holistic health place in Edinburgh. Now I’m a pretty pragmatic chap and generally unswayed by homeopathy, Chi and such (having said that I have seen and felt very weird things hapen and various martial arts events I’ve attended) but the test done on TM [...]
Sigh…here’s the reason I hate flash ! Got into a huge scrap at work with a colleague arguing our customer-facing offering needed to be Web2.0 and RIA and that flash was the way to go as AJAX wasn’t ubiquitous yet etc etc and I politely pointed out that I personally, on all the browsers I [...]
If this isn’t the final nail in the coffin of this abortive attempt to see off the Leopard advance I’ve no idea what is… Windows Vista SP1 RC Refresh as it’s been snappily entitled has now been released to a slightly wider audience that those bleary-eyed nerdlings initially supplied with the hyoooge service pack earlier [...]

Not only that – what happens when the spotty oik from 3 doors down, piggy-backed on my wifi connection is on www.bigjugs.com pulling down all manner of trouser-tomfoolery ? clipped from news.bbc.co.uk [...]
I’ve been watching the frankly hysterical reporting that’s followed the recent discovery in London of the attempted car bombs and the Glasgow Airport Flaming ram raid with increasing levels of surprise and incredulity then I read this post on ElReg by a ex-bomb disposal Johnny…makes funny and grounding reading. The world is NOT about to [...]
I’m a huge fan of Halo…I played on multiplayer long before Windows Live came online using a nice wireless connection across the village to my mate’s front room where him and me and our respective partners would snipe, butt-stroke and run one another over with warthogs to our hearts content. This was all on the [...]
Great article on the BBC yesterday about the public’s response to the ridiculous Olympic logo…they got a bunch of them to try and do better. This got one of the nods !! And if you don’t know why it’s funny I ain’t explaining !
As ever Dilbert nicely fleshes out the ongoing disparity between what business people say and do and what they actually mean ! This is always an interesting subject for me…in almost every meeting I attend where you’re actioned you end up clarifying the actual ‘meaning’ of the requirements or action point. Now this isn’t always [...]
