The online playground of a digital cowboy and consummate athlete.
for the first of the month! How quick is this year flying through, already into August and if you live in the UK you will no doubt be wondering where the summer has got to. So far we had one spell of really hot weather and that was it, just plain old grey days from then, about time it warmed up and gave you something to smile about before those cooler September days creep up on you. Any way this...
It has taken a while but finally the clan I belong to DAO have been noticed and we are being published. Thanks to Nigel (of Crafty fame) for all his hard work in sending off the emails, well basically he kept on badgering them until they had no choice to do a article on us! As I’m not a hardcore gamer I do not get the copies of the magazines delivered to the door so I can’t tell what or where the...
When i was on my fore mentioned boat trip, i tried playing around with my digital camera to she what i could get. I tried silhouette, mirrored and night shots. The camera has no special self lighting system for night, it just leaves the shutter open for longer to allow more light in. Good job there was some kind of moon that night! Go to My iMac Homepage to see larger versions of some of my...
Yesterday i returned from my annual boating trip on the Norfolk Broads. It comprises of a three day boat hire with 9 mates to sail, relax, bond and indulge on the occasional glass of sherry, this year aboard the Superior Gem 4! Ok so we managed a fairly good effort of over 350 beers in 60 hours and that was just on the boat, many more were consumed out in pubs, clubs and towns, plus we had to...

Only joking but the time scale has been put back and back whilst they concentrate on ‘fixing’ existing Windows versions. The plan is for Beta1 of Vista to be released first part of...
It was sort of decided before the race began that if Lance Armstrong finished this Tour de France then he would be standing on the podium, with 6 tour wins already the chance of making it seven was too tempting, even he admitted that he could not just ride the tour, he had to win it. After Stage 18 Armstrong is already nearly three minutes ahead of the next man; Ivan Basso and with the final leg...
It seems that the web is alive with maps at the moment, the in thing is Earth Google with the new Google Maps also being popular. Is this the new way of looking at the world as a small space where we are all connected? Well it could well be. Whilst I’ve not tried Earth Google yet as it’s PC only but the Google Maps are pretty cool, makes you wonder how Columbus ever found land without them. By the...
ah the old days of the commodore 64,long lazy summers, long loading games, every game release was amazing and games were only £8.95 (£7.95 on spectrum - not fair). Anyway on to the post, I found an absolute class site the other day which has some really good remakes of some old commodore 64 classics, one of the highlights on this page is a pc remake of monty on the run, its really good, graphics...
I have recieved so many emails about this idea I thought it best to share it with those that don’t know the deal. Yo, Have you heard of this? It’s been on the radio today and seems like a very good idea to me. tim —–Original Message—– East Anglian Ambulance Service launched in April a national “In case of Emergency ( ICE ) " campaign.
