I’m going to hunt down the people responsible for programming at E4, Channel 4 and Paramount Comedy. Why ? Chuffing “Sex and the City” – that’s why. My darling Emily has the Sky remote again and so far we’ve had an hour of this..AGH! I’ve seen this episode about 20 times now… E4, then E4+1, [...]

Hold tight!
Every now and then I take a look at the “amount of people online” box on the left-side of CoolSmartPhone.com. On a good day this site will have about 600 people online. Y’know, around lunch time or early-evening. However, what I wasn’t prepared – especially at 11PM BST – was this…. I’m not quite sure [...]
Google Earth.. pretty damned good…
Today I’ve had a quick play with Google Earth today. It’s pretty cool, although it’s a shame that pretty much everywhere outside the US doesn’t have magificently-hi-res pictures. The interface itself is excellent, you can grab the globe, spin it round, zoom in quickly and easily and find roads and pubs within seconds. Plus of [...]

How old are you?! :)
This particular email has been shooting around the internet for a good many years. I saw it originally when I was working for Research Machines in Oxford a good many years ago. It’s still doing the rounds and is worth putting in my blog – mainly because this weekend I’ve seen kids riding electric-powered scooters [...]
Dog walking and weekend fun
I write this at about twenty past midnight on Sunday night / Monday morning. Ideally I should be asleep, as work beckons in a few short hours. However, I’m gonna get a tad soppy and reflective on you all first. This week we’ve been tasked with the responsibility of dog-sitting my sister-in-laws pooch. She’s a [...]
C550 – I’ve taken the plunge!
To be honest I’m quite happy with my SPV C500, however I’ve taken the plunge and ordered a spanky gorgeous Orange SPV C550. I’ll do a review of it this week sometime and get it online for you guys. I’m particularly interested in how it handles games and compatibility. I’ve purchased mine from the shop [...]
