Newsgator errors

Come on Newsgator I’ve been getting this error for the last couple of days now. It would appear that they have some dodgey java scripts over at the Newsgator online service which is preventing the display of feeds. Every time I load up the page it will pause, then the handy little Firefox debugger lets me know that a script is dragging it’s heels. No matter what option I pick I get the same...

Lows and Highs

This morning started with a defiant low, I closed the front door on Lucy knowing that I would not see her again for another two weeks. Lucy is on her way to North Carolina on business for the next 14 days to try and help sort out the partner company in the USA. She has been whisked away before but so far it has always been during the week, never at a week end. This helped as I never had time to...

It was difficult to even watch

How do you do it Channel 4? How do you make me change my mind and watch an episode of Big Brother? Since about the first ever Big Brother I have never shown an interest in the program, I personally think of it as a complete waste of time and only extraverts and fame seekers need apply. So it going goes without saying that Celebrity Big Brother is even worse, a group of forgotten headliners try and...

Nike++ == happy legs;

Lets be honest the Nike+ thing is a fitness for geeks tool. Yet why is it sooooo compeling? I took part in my first run on Saturday night and all of a sudden I was top of the leader board for the current challenge over at the Zero2Hero Locker Room. However in my over enthusisastic why I pushed it too hard on the first day, then followed this up with 30miles on the bike Sunday morning and now my...

Is it just a fade?

Is is just a fade or will this be the start of a fitness regime? Michael over at Binary Bonsai started this off with his Zero2Hero idea; get running and get fit. I knew that since the Autumn I have been letting myself go and some time soon I would need to get back into shape. It just seemed like too good a opportunity to miss so I jumped on the bandwagon and decided to shape up. Last week end I...

Uk Counties

Over the last few days I have been working on a new web application for the Intranet at work. The idea of the app was to able to input and store quotation requests from potential customers. Part of this information collected is the postal address of the client, to which I decided it would be easier to have the UK counties as a drop down box; saves the spelling mistakes as not many people live in...

iPhucking want one!

It is January which means only one thing MacExpo! The time of year were Mr. Jobs shocks the world with just ‘one more thing’. This year there was no exception just a slight change in the proceedings. There was no last minute shocker, it was full blown shock from the outset. First up we have AppleTV or iTV as it was nick named. This is a clever streaming media device that will sit under your hi def...

Christmas is a trying time

Christmas is over and the New Year is in full swing and if I were to be brutally honest, I can not wait to look forward and put everything behind me. Last month Lucy’s mum; Jacqui was diagnosed with breast cancer which was a complete shock to the family. Needless to say the hospital and all groups have moved like lightening to get some support and start treatment. However it did put all festive...

eerie Ipswich

This morning I had to take a quick trip into Ipswich and the results where some what preplexing. It has been a little over a week since the incidents started happening in and arround Ipswich and even with two people in custody there is a strange feeling to the place. Police cars are still surrounding the Portman Road/Portman Walk area and as you drive along you realise just how present the Police...
