On the way to work today (it was a fitting job for GRS Signs) we went through New York. Yes, you heard me right, New York! It was more of a surprise for me, I was nodding off and saw the village sign, and had to wake myself up to make sure.
Then of course, not [...]

I was reading through several blogs tonight and I found this entry, at web3.0log …

If we assume that 2000 people world wide spit out an average of 25,000 junk scraped pages each and every day then that is 1.5 billion pages each month or 15-20% of the size of the google index every month.

The bank holiday is here, a long weekend. But for what, I ask myself? I don’t have a computer (working one at least) so it’s going to be a weekend of watching cheesy films, or shopping with no money. What a downer
On the bright side, my computer components should all be here on [...]

Tail end of my lunch break, I thought I’d run through any news stories of the day and catch up on a few things (and start ordering my new computer components). As I was just about to bring up another URL, I caught this story on Yahoo! News: Londoner submits to public fish-slapping.
It was lucky [...]

I had to reinstall my laptop last night, using the Windows 2000 Professional disc I carry with me. I like Windows 2000 Pro because it’s stable and I have barely ever had a problem with it. It IS becoming a little dated though, and with the imminent release of Vista I figured this might the [...]

I’ve had the computer (laptop) that I’m using for oooh, 6 years now I think.
It has done me well, and lately it has been showing it’s age, slowing down, taking forever to boot up and generally acting like a geriatric of the computer world. What do you (I) expect for 6 years old though? Most [...]

And by that I mean, it’s bloody raining.
What a surprise. I used to laugh when my american friends always associated england with rain, and joked along with them. Not so funny when you’re in it. I walked out the gate this morning and it was almost pictoresque, the clouds rolling above me, and the rising [...]

It has come to my attention that not only is it a single birthday today, but a double!
Congratulations to Mac of MacBro’s Place, 36?! I thought you were younger!
And to my good Texan friend Diane, of Diane’s Stuff, just peeking over 30 now, Diane?

As we have come to accept in the past decade or so, Islamic fascists terrorists like to target transportation mechanisms. Maybe it’s because it provides them with the greatest ‘bang’ for their buck, and the most provocative news story.
After British police just foiled a massive attack on airplanes, it seems that terrorists in another European [...]

Usually the girl(s) who presents the weather in the morning on the Beeb, is right about the weather. Yesterday she said that it would be raining all weekend, what a dreary thought that was, let me tell you. Yet this morning when I woke up, the sun was trying to peek through the thin covering [...]
