I had recently been getting some odd comments to this site and it's not just me, Ben and Dave have as well. I checked out the domains and there are no websites sites and no clues from the registrations - other than no clues means possible spammer. Initially I thought it might be a way to try and circumvent the...

Getting nice and silly now!

I got comment spammed a lot today by some idiot trying to promote her Texas Holdem Poker casino site. (Its a rubbish site in my opinion) I spent 10 minutes dealing with the spam that was trying to boost Michale Gawat's web site. The plan used is to get a load of links pointing to her site so that the search engines...

There is loads of web coverage this year so I will pick out a few British feeds in the hope that those in the USA will read some balanced reporting - Fox stating that Kerry was ahead yesterday seems to be a ruse to get Bush voters to the polls. That's abuse of mass media if it was the truth . Brit Guardian readers...

I reported the link to Sitescore at Silktide yesterday in my sideblog but wanted to do a fuller report today having been through the service a little more. I did notice that the site has become difficult to access over the past 18 hours and I expect that it will get worse quickly as this brilliant site gets noticed,...

Just had an e-mail from Google telling me that they are adding a new service into the search engine. You will now be able to search inside printed books. I assume they will be scanning all the books into a database. Very interesting. "Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally...

I surprised Paula last night with a little present for her birthday in November. We are of to LA, Fiji, New Zealand and Singapore for a holiday. She hasn't stopped jumping up and down while clapping her hands yet! I am going to try and blog while we are away and upload images of course as long as I can find suitable...

I have just added my RSS feed to Feedburner because of the amazing variety of options it allows for feeds. If you are one of the people subscribing to my RSS feeds you could pick up the Feedburner feed instead as it will be richer in content. Update!

I purchased Simon Peggs Shaun of the Dead on Monday night and Paula and I watched it last night. I really wanted to go and see this at the cinema although I am not a horror fan at all but on reflection I was quite glad we did not. The reason was not because it is a little scary and Paula would not have liked it on...

I have decided to add a second side blog to the site. This one is about my daily train journeys to Canary Wharf and back. I'm doing it because I want to keep a record of how abysmal our railway system really is and how it is affecting my daily routine. Hopefully I will also be able to use it to claim some dosh back...

I use Google Alerts quite a bit, a most excellent tool, but today I had reason to change one of them from 'as it happens' to 'daily report' - I was getting too many alerts on one particular subject. I tried to log in unsucessfully to make the change and was presented with a common security feature where you have to...

Barmy Steve Ballmer from Microsoft has decided has decided to shorten his stay on planet sensible and has gone to live with the fairies. In a completely outrageous slur aimed at Apple he commented in London at a press conference: "The most common format of music on an iPod is 'stolen'." Not in my iPod Mr 'barmy'...
