What's Doing

For those who are thinking of buying me a christmas present (that means you, dear), I have updated the wish list page on this web site. What a wild way to spend your Friday night.

This last week has been a feast of comedy for the Todd household. Last Friday night I managed to acquire tickets to see Michael Moore live at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm. A fun time was had by all and much merriment ensued. The only fly in the ointment was transport as, due to [...]

Apologies for the dearth of posts here in the past week. It has been mainly due to the fact that I have been working at a customer site.
They have an outrageous proxy server policy which considers that this web site (and the software I use to craft it) are not essential for business purposes and [...]

I had a need to quickly get a screen print from my computer this morning. Thanks to the folks at Download.com I got my sticky mits on Screen Print 32.

I have a sneaky suspicion that this will make it on to my daily list of sites to visit. Which is more of a comment on me than [...]

Tell me its not true. Celebrity Big Brother is back.
Still, it will keep a bunch of talentless no-hopers off the streets for a while. Plus, if we all turn our backs (metaphorically speaking) it should go away and never bother us again.

I have been spending money again. I bought a Christmas present over at Amazon. Not such a big thing you would think, except that it was the first thing I had ever bought there.
At Amazon they operate a customer segmentation and classification system where the front page of the web site changes to suggest [...]

Who was it who said that the internet was just a load of pr0n? Oh yes, that would be me then.
Just in time to save its sad and sullied soul comes Project Gutenberg a selfless effort to make available as many books as possible to as many people as possible. Those of you who [...]
