The Hunger Artists have released their near legendary album "Cruisin' in Zargon" online. Guitarist and all round cute guy Mike describes it as "A free-improv old-school wheely-poppin' punk-rock noise-core psych-out with vaudeville overtones... " More over at OOK World including the free to listen mp3 track. Cracking...

Well, there's not been much going on in this area, but since we put out a new raised platform (you'll never guess where from), this whole area has come alive for us. Simon finally finished the wires for the wisteria to grow along - the neighbours thought it was to keep out their kids!!- and then we planted up a...

I went to English rugby's Zurich Premiership Final with my chums. Excellent day out at the hallowed ground where there were also three supporting matches, including the Heineken Wiild card play off between Sale and Leicester. Jason Robinson scored a superb try for Sale but it was the man mountain Martin Johnson's...

We have just returned from 8 days in Spain. We were based in the little mountain village of Albunuelas, South of Granada, with Mules, lemons, tapas, sun, snow and relaxation. Oh, and rather large local gins. While we were there we visited the famous Alhambra in Granada. This was the seat of the Moorish power in the...

Dynamically altered CSS is something I have had going around in my head for about three years. Ever since I built the original Simon and Paula Garden website I always wanted to be able to change the CSS depending on the weather. It was not possible at that point but I am now many steps closer to it. The main way of...

Bopspam is a service that filters spam out of your e-mail. It does this using some very new and clever algorithms that learn as more spam in intercepted and...

At last! Google.co.uk have recognised that us English have a patron Saint as well! Even Londons Mayor, Ken Livingstone, has put �100,000 into the kitty to celebrate the day - the same amount as St Patricks day. However he has unwisley chosen not to spend it on a big party for us but on celebrating Shakespears...

!Chris Jones the guitarist of Kick gave us a digipack of the bands latest offering, new Horizon. And what a great album it is. Some music magazines are touting the band as the 'anti Darkness' - a band that is producing proper melodic rock for now and not songs that reminisce about 80�s rock. From my point of view...

I left home early on Monday morning to go to an offsite meeting and lo and behold what do I find on my way to the railway station? A car transporter full of police cars. They were loading them up outside the Police station. What really made me annoyed was that the lorry had stopped on the double red lines - thats a...

We spent a relaxing week in Nannerth Fach in the Wye valley in mid Wales at the end of February 2004. It snowed quite heavily during the week and we thought we might get trapped in the cottage for a further week. Unfortunately we were able to get out...

Dave Schulthise, aka Dave Blood, bass player of the Dead Milkmen, my friend Deans band from Philly, has been found dead having taken his own life. I knew Dave from the times I was invited to roadie a Dead Milkmen tour of the East Coast USA and from the three trips they made to the UK. Dave was a deep and meaningfull...

Two marketing "muck up's" this week already! What a fine year this is going to be. First off we have the revelation that Coca Cola are using public tap water to produce it's expensive designer label Dasani, which retails at 95p per 500ml while they are being charged 0.0316p per 500ml by Thames water who have already...
