Cup Of Coffee

Avon and Somerset Police have recently taken the rather bold step of placing time-wasting 999 calls onto YouTube. The calls, which involve people asking for help with questionnaires or trying to find their glasses, waste the valuable time of operators who could be dealing with real emergencies. Here in the UK 999 is the designated [...]

On TV tonight I spotted a HTC Touch Dual on “Harley Street”. I’m not entirely sure what the show was about or whether it was any good, apart from the fact that it obviously has some sort of medical theme. Anyhow, the HTC Touch Dual got a fairly large part..

I’ve blogged some time back about the various pirate radio stations that pop up around my area. They usually blast out with a stronger signal than most local “legal” stations and have some rather excellent tunes with… slightly less excellent DJ’s and technical equipment :) I’ve just stumbled across this list of pirate streams available [...]

When we carry a story, and we’re the only site to do so, certain other sites seem to ignore where they saw it and instead link to the page we found. Take, for example, some random and hard-to-find link tucked away that our readers found. Certain other sites will also “find it” within 30 minutes [...]

This is the second time someone has emailed and pointed me to thewebsiteisdown.com. The first time I watched it I tuned out after about 2 minutes, however if you stick with it then it’s well worth the wait. It’s a day in the life of some techies and, unfortunately, it’s all too close to reality [...]
