Cup Of Coffee

Office 2010 has just been released. Many companies are switching to Google Docs in an effort to save money on licensing costs, but Microsoft have decided to fight back. In a blog post Barbara Gordon, VP of Service and Support at Microsoft, states.. “The launch of Office 2010 earlier this month reminded me just how [...]

After watching the BBC coverage of the World Cup and the excellent coverage of Wimbledon I got to thinking just how good this service is. Sure, we have to pay a licence fee and the utterly splendid Top Gear will no doubt be available on BitTorrent sites within minutes of the programme ending on Sunday, [...]

Today I’m going to reveal to you why politics is rubbish and you should all go and dance naked in front of the House of Commons. The “emergency budget” was revealed today from the new coalition Government. Firstly, let’s address the fact that petrol tax hasn’t been increased. This is good news surely. Actually, it’s [...]

It’s the longest day today, so people headed down to Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice and watch the sun rise at 4.52 this morning.

Woah! Recently work on the London Underground meant that unused areas were exposed for the first time in years. One section hadn’t been open to the public since the 1950′s and there’s stacks of vintage posters. The poster adds.. “The station’s lifts were removed and replaced by escalators. These are in an old lift passageway.” [...]

Woah. I know virtually nothing about audio tweaking and all this pitch bending nonsense. OK, perhaps I do know that crappy artists can now use voice changers to make themselves sound better, but this is just excellent. According to the blog post this is an “audio hack” which uses some Python code to convert a [...]

I have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on here, but I’ll link to it…

You’ll probably have a petrol station near you and, if you’re lucky, you’ll have one with a little supermarket attached too. These are really convenient and, when I want some bread, milk or last-minute stuff, I pop into the shop. But, when you’re just putting some fuel in, I hate people like me, taking ages [...]
