So BBC HD is now BBC2 HD and BBC1 HD has moved postitions. If you want the full HD channels you cna of course use the planner, but I’m one of those people who prefers to just stick channel numbers in. If you want the HD channels then all you need to do is… 1 – Instead of 101 for… Read more →

Justin Timberlake feat. Jay Z – Suit And Tie (Jodie Harsh club mix)
Gah…. Never thought I’d like a Justin a Timberlake tune and indeed I’m not a big fan of the radio edit but this Jodie Harsh remix is bang on the money…. Read more →
CloudFlare is becoming a target
CloudFlare offers a fantastic service. DNS, DDoS protection and optimization of your site. The trouble is, just lately, the service – particularly to UK users – has been spotty at best. Here’s the issues from March 22nd and 23rd. As you can see there was what CloudFlare call “Performance degradation”, which they detail as “Performance is slower than normal”. This… Read more →
I must admit, it’s quite entertaining watching the neighbours in the snow
First it snows. They come out and clear the drive, but they don’t got anywhere in the car. Then it snows some more. They come out, clear the drive again. Still they don’t go anywhere in the car. Then it snows overnight. They come out, clear the drive again. Still there’s not movement from the car. Then it snows again..… Read more →
Don’t try jokes with the mother in law :)
Today it’s pretty snowy. I was out clearing the snow from the drive and my mother-in-law turned up. “You wouldn’t believe it”, she said, “the amount of people walking around wihtout hats or gloves on in this weather”. There’s a biting wind, it’s seriously cold. “I’ve just walked to the Co-Op”, she continued, “..and this girl, she was about 20,… Read more →
The biggest problem in the snow
Sure, the papers might be full of stories involving traffic chaos and closed schools, but the worse possible part of the bad weather is often missed by the national news. Instead of adding stories involving blocked roads and people falling over, we should instead concentrate on the fact that the snow has more serious, more annoying repercussions. You lose satellite… Read more →
I write about smartphones, tablets and tech. But..
This video really hit the spot for me. I’m one of those kids who didn’t grow up with an iPad or smartphone in the house. There was very little in the way of technology apart from a Spectrum … Read more →
Lana Del Rey is back again
Remember Video Games by Lana Del Ray? There was a pretty excellent remix out at the time but most people heard the radio edit, which was shit. Anyways, here’s another new one – Summertime Sadness. Again, if you do hear this on the radio then it’ll probably be the crap radio edit. So instead this is the Cedric Gervais Remix,… Read more →
Blimey, I’ve not updated this for a few days
Come on, this is a tune. I don’t care if you didn’t hear it first time around, this is just an utter tune. Perhaps I’m looking back with rose-tinted shades, but it’s definitely worth a listen…. Read more →
The moonwalking pony.. a slightly different version..
Well, Three were always asking for this in the middle of a horse-meat scandal.. :) Read more →
Stick with it, stick with it…
OK. After 5 seconds I thought this was appalling. Then after about a minute I thought it was the best thing ever. See what you think. Swedemason has completely sliced R Kelly’s “Jools Holland” performance to bits here.. Read more →

Spammy phone calls
I absolutely, utter HATE people calling me up in the evenings asking for stuff or selling something. Tonight It was Marie Cure, calling from 02034762654. I’ve got a very short fuse with these people, but when they’re calling at 9PM it really bugs me. So, Mr Internet, if you’re connected to the Marie Curie charity, advise them that calling people… Read more →
Horse balls in Ikea
You know about this meat saga. Horses have found their way into burgers but, horror of horrors, it’s now in Ikea meatballs too. Gahh! Still, it’s chance for the b3ta to create a new set of instructions… Read more →
