Come see my cockpit

The new “big bird” in the sky is the Airbus A380. Due to todays’ security concerns you’ll never get to visit to cockpit (sorry, I should say Flight Deck) of a plane, so it’s well worth looking at this 360 degree view from gillesvidal.com The array of screens, buttons and computer kit is just amazing.

Safari 3.1 Now available – Time for a browser change?

The Internet browser market is now more crowded than ever. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari to name just a few. Safari was, until recently not something I used daily. Firefox is my current browser of choice but now, with Safari 3.1 available, I think I might change my mind. It’s blazingly quick and pages [...]

Rainbow – The early days

When I was young I used to watch Rainbow. It’s a classic kids TV show, but I certainly don’t remember the pilot. Here’s the first episode, complete with a rather scary-looking Zippy and Bungle. It looks like Bungle has stuck his head in the tumble-dryer…!

Check out my new jumpers

Here’s Beth and Brian Willis. Their dogs died recently, so to remember them they kept the hair which had been combed from their pedigree dogs and spun it into a yarn. This then got knitted into these rather “interesting” tops. I bet they stink in the rain… Link – Sky News

Googled for the HTC P3470 recently?

Storm damage – exclusive photos (yes, again)

There’s been a lot of coverage about the mighty “storm” that’s currently blowing across the UK from the Atlantic. I’ll admit that I’ve tried to make light of these storms, suggesting that a bit of wind shouldn’t be enough to scare the whole country. Last night though we had some quite strong wind and rain.

Storm! Panic! Run away! Alert! Alert!

If there’s one thing that gets on my nerves it’s over-reacting to stuff. In every news bulletin and newspaper today and yesterday the headlines seem to concern “the worst storm of the winter”, which is now hitting the UK. The result? Well, down in the South and South West a few branches fell off trees, [...]
