Cup Of Coffee

Once more I find myself on a plane. I think I’ve actually flown more this year than ever before but I’m by no means a jetsetter. This morning I bumped into Paul from modaco.com at the gate. I’d just been asked by a security guy if I was “First Class or Business”. My reply caused [...]

I’ve been doing some more hefty website work this weekend. Unfortunately most of it is utterly boring geeky stuff that most readers won’t be interested in. Moving tables around, shifting PHP, compacting the databases and reducing calls to the MySQL database have been on my hit list this weekend – the objective is to attempt [...]

As you may know from my previous blog, Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond was in a serious crash earlier this week. He’s now making a recovery and is on a general ward after the accident which occured during filming for the top BBC show in a jet-powered car on an airfield near York. Richard, 36, [...]

Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond is now improving but remains seriously ill in hospital after crashing during filming of the rather excellent TopGear TV show. He was driving a jet-powered “dragster” in an attempt to break the UK land-speed record at almost 300mph when it swerved violently, flipped over and embedded itself nose-first into the [...]

You may have seen our recent story about the new Orange SPV C700. It’s arriving soon and it’s one of the first 3G Smartphones we’ve seen, however… one thing you should NOT do is Google it.Please, please, PLEASE for the love of all things holy do NOT Google “C700″ I just tried a simple Google [...]

A few years ago I made the mistake of buying a “desktop replacement”-style laptop. Regular readers will be aware of my Sony PCG-GRX lappy and the problems I had with it. The 16-inch screen and the weight of the thing meant it was probably more at home on a desk than being carried about constantly. [...]

I love this clip. Gordon Ramsay is an excellent cook and – without doubt – he never holds back. His UK shows were excellent and he continued the “Hells Kitchen” success in the USA too. This weekend I was flicking through the huge amount of channels and landed on “Hells Kitchen USA” which was on [...]

WARNING – This blog post will probably descend into a “Daily Mail” style rant. Sorry about this, I’ve had a bad day. Remember this guy? Yep, I blogged about him a few days back. He decided to take a drive around the local town despite having leg tremors, being partially deaf and only having two [...]

Meet renowned Aboriginal artist Gordon Syron – he’s the guy standing up, not the one in the painting. He paints nice pictures he does. One day he decided, rather foolishly, to put some of his very expensive paintings on his roof rack and go driving. Unsurprisingly both of the paintings, worth $1.5 million (AUS) flew [...]

Some people like to have WiFi routers. I certainly do – being able to work all around the house without worrying about wires is ideal. Whether it’s the Orange SPV M3100 on WiFi or my laptop, I can get connected to the internet. My WiFi is secured down. You’ll need a password to get on [...]
