Operation Flashpoint Elite

I have been waiting for this game for over two years now. I’ve been waiting since Mr. W32.Sobig.A@mm decided to criple my Windows machine for the last time. Operation Flashpoint was one of the first games I played online and still is one of the few games that had me immersed in a total underground state, any Zelda game also ranks up there. I had purchased the orginal, then the addon Red Hammer,...

Team Kit

Lucy has treated me on my birthday and presented me with a complete set of Trek/Discovery Channel Team cycle wear; ok I have not got the socks but I’ll let that one slide. The clothing which is made by Nike is top quality and looks the part, I guess the phrase ‘all the gear and on idea’ springs to mind. Best I get out on my bike now and put to some use, just got to overcome the British...

iPaq:iKaput

I’ve owned a iPaq2210 for quite a while now and it has been my trusted companion; always getting me to meetings on time or making sure I never forget a birthday or two. Yes we have had our ups and downs, like Rui (and most other users) points out the side grips are a waste of time, the BlueTooth is bit flaky at times and there is not a decent phone application to be seen in HP’s line up. That...

Living with Mint

As some may know the other week I installed Mint, a little web stats application from Shaun Inman. Well a week on, how does Mint taste? Did it leave a breath of freshness or loose it’s taste just way too quickly? Sorry but how many mint related wise cracks can you get before it all turns sour? Paul Stamatiou has done a very useful run down of the application with a list of handy Peppers. The basic...

asides

the whole concept of asides to me is an interesting one. I like the idea of having a seperate section for those off beat comments or posts but I’m still undecided as to the location and style of them. with K2 you have two options; inline or on the side bar. so far I’ve opted for inline but I just don’t think that either place lends itself well to the idea of asides. the sidebar to me is the place...

iPod repairs!

This afternoon i was visited by a friend asking me to transfer music from one iPod to another. In order to do this i used iPodrip and iTunes, but first i had to get the iPods connected and talking to the computer. This proved to be a problem with one of the iPods. Whenever a button was pressed, the Apple symbol appeared, stayed for about ten seconds then it came up with a folder and exclaimation...

Trafalgar Day

Here in the UK it is a little known event called Trafalgar Day, to be honest it is not the most popular or well known celebration ever to hit the calender but as this year is the 200 year anniversary people are making a bit more of a fuss. There is national cermony being held tonight where as beacons will be lit, up and down the country (if any one knows the reason behind this please let me know)...

quick promotions

Last night I went to my first meeting of the Sudbury Cycle Club. Since I have been doing a load more road miles and making up some training programmes Lucy has been on at me to get in contact with her work friend; Brian who helps out at the local club. I finally paid up and joined on the Tuesday and was invited to their AGM on Thursday night. I went along and by the end of it I’m now the...

so what is it you want!?!

Why do people phone up and just try to mess you about? I’m sure they don’t mean to but how can people just be so unhelpful when they want information from you. I sell and supply carrier bags and packaging supplies, a lot of it is bespoke printed carrier bags made to order to which we have each bag made to suit the clients needs and requirements. We will always try and help and find the correct bag...

Bond, Daniel Craig, Bond

Today saw the announcement of the sixth James Bond, Daniel Craig, of Layer Cake fame, steps up to the plate to take on the role. Personally I’m not really feeling him as the Iam Flemming super spy, don’t get me wrong I think he has the skills and the talent and is one of Britains finest (current that is) but he just does not fit the Bond image in my eyes. He would make a great bond villan or...
