How not to send email..

So, I’m at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. In the run-up to this event I get a whole load of email from companies and networks wanting us to go see their stuff. However, one company in particular – Golla – sent the email out to 2,577 journalists, bloggers and other interested parties … as an open CC list. Oh joy..… Read more →

At the chip shop

My turn to cook tonight, so .. chip shop. I was up there just an hour ago. Whilst being served we had to wait the obligatory 50 seconds for the potatoes to turn into.. slightly hotter potatoes (I really wish they wouldn’t do that). Anyways.

What is actually happening is… Read more →

Another site closes up shop

It looks like btjunkie.org have decided to go the way of the Dodo following the shutdown of well-known file sharing websites. What exactly prompted this we’re not sure, but it was a hugely popular torrent website which indexed a pile of illegal material. Perhaps they just got spooked. Read more →

Lulu. I hate Lulu. I hate Lulu.

I must admit to not liking Lulu very much. Don’t ask me why, I think it’s just when she continually pops up on TV and starts singing, “Weeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll” Anyways.. strangely this remix has turned that all around.. suddenly I find myself tapping my foot and generally thinking, “Yes, I like Lulu…” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB_2yVP72iw Read more →
