This question is bigger than pop socks and causing me a few moments of creating the classic thinker pose. Should you get a iBook or a PowerBook? I’m after any one’s feed back and justification on this. Before the standard ‘get a PowerBook; it’s better’ is rejoiced throughout the land here is the problem. Next year I’m doing my end to end challenge, soon after that I’m planning a Wild Wales...

Found this link detailing the future of my friend the sober worm. In the last few days I’ve really got to know this chap, he sends me quite a few emails now and I really enjoy waiting for the next. On a serious note this could be interesting, if it does go ahead as planned I think the internet could have a couple of slow days. Kinda makes you just want to give up on the internet, if it wern’t for...

Don’t you just love those week ends were you plan to do all those things you put off during the week. You have a big long list of items that need to be completed; your even thinking about putting up that curtain rail you have put off for days. So you finish work promtly on Friday, journey home to meet your neighbour who asks if you fancy going out for a meal. So you agree; whats the worse that can...

During the first week of launch experts estimate that between 300,000 and 400,000 Xbox 360’s were sold in the US. This is nearly their planned 3 month target in a week. But is has not been all clear sailing for Microsoft, there have been various reports of overheating power supplies, random crashes and games freezing and even dvd’s being ripped by the laser mountings of the drive. Microsoft have...

Yesterday was not the best day and not the best start to December. It was going well for me, got into work and managed to finish off some customers artwork and get a few jobs finished. Then one of our bigger suppliers came to see us and invited us out for a meal in the evening. As I get sorted and head out leaving Lucy at home quite happy, doing more jewelry stuff. A Chicken Tikki Balti later I...

2nd December marks the European launch of the Xbox360. Have you got yours? My answer; No. But then did I pre-order? No. Did I sit there months ago getting all worked up over the machine; No. Have I spent the last few months getting in a worse state as the hype builds; No. Was the last few weeks spent checking my online pre-order trying to work out if I would recieve the console today; No. Am I...

On the Binary Bonsai forums it has been asked how I got those Java powered AJAXy looking features in my sidebar, I’ve also had a few emails about them so I thought I better write the code and share the knowledge. Here goes: It is a java script that creates a visual effect, you can also chuck some ajax inspired calls in there too but I opted for just creating the blind effect. The code and...

OK it is not quite that bad but a little bit of hype never hurt anyone. Last week I was experiencing some nasty virus problems, this morning I fully expected to be greeted by another couple of hundred emails stuffed full of virii (hmm sounds cool that) but no. Looks like it might have calmed down, or they have moved on I guess. But whilst I was checking my morning feeds and feeding my morning...

was the question I was asked this morning on my weekly club run. As we cycled through the wet and gritty Suffolk countryside being beaten by a chilled wind Dave leant across and asked this ill fated question. “How far?” I ask thinking he wanted to put the hammer down again and zoom off at stupid speeds to get the blood pumping. “End to end?” was the reply. It might have been the cold had slowed...

Yesterday afternoon was spent in Ace Comics, the local comic and movie alladin’s cave. Lucy and I split up in an effort to cover more ground, ok she had seen a Captian Jack Swallow model and the whole Johnny Depp thing kicked in. I ended up at the Star Wars action figure section, yep they had a case of original figures, even Hans in Hoth battle gear! Whilst I stood there surrounded by nostalgia...
