Cup Of Coffee

We hate the Frog. He’s at number 1 and it’s all thanks to some git at Jamster (the ringtone gits) stealing some sound-sample from the internet and adding some graphics. Now it looks like he’s planning to make moves on number 10…. If you’ve in HMV or Virgin and you see someone reaching for the [...]

Being the tight-wad I am, I’ve decided (still) not to get Sky+. We’ve got Sky TV at home. It’s all very good, but I’m not heavily into sports and I rarely get time to watch a movie. Because of this we don’t have the “full” package but just the “Sky Family” package at about 19 [...]

Stop it now.. Stop the world. I wanna get off. It’s all gone so badly wrong and everyone is bloody crazy. I’ve had enough. Reason? See the picture..

As I write there are 987 people browsing CoolSmartPhone.com. That’s one big fat figure. Now, way back in December you may have noticed that I was asking you guys to splash the cash a bit to help out with the site. It costs roughly 75 quid a month to host an entire dedicated server for [...]

Ohhh dear dear dear… Welcome to the world little T-Jay, Amani and Lita. Your mothers are all about 14 years old and are living together in a shared council house rent-free… and they’re all sisters…. and the “mother” of these three teenagers says… “I don’t care what people say about me.” “I blame the schools [...]

What the hell ? We’ve seen the Aibo dog previously, but now there’s these freaky-weird robotic cats. The robotic pussy comes courtesy of Necoro…. Weird and wrong…. But I guess they won’t rip up your sofa… View the video here (mov file, needs Quicktime) More info – necoro.com While I’m here, there’s yet another classic [...]

After stories regarding the “Happy Slapping” craze amongst teenagers (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4539317.stm) it appears that websites like Chavscum.co.uk are fighting back. They’ve come up with a new t-shirt, however some people thought that it didn’t quite get the point across, so this one is now ready to order (a bit of swearing below)….. just to be on [...]

We hate “the frog”, we hate everything to do with this annoying toss. It’s therefore great to see this news story which states that mainstream TV-Channel ITV is “reviewing” the Jamster campaign after a flood of complaints have come in. Complaints were originally made to the Advertising Standards Authority – however they are unable to [...]

I’ve just been trying out Netscape 8. Very strange. It’s got tabbed browsing, it’s got RSS integration and more. However, the “rendering engine” can either be set to “Internet Explorer Rendering (default)” or “Firefox Rendering”. I’m confused. What is this ? IE with a different front end ? Firefox with a different front end ? [...]

I was in the pub last night.. normally it’s my refuge from the world. Some lager, some chat, and all my problems go away. Until… over the gentle background noise of a pub comes… BA DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING [...]
