So the browser ballot has offered us some “great” alternatives to the standard trio of Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome. Here’s my particular favourite – SlimBrowser (snappy eh?) which seems to have all the aesthetic appeal of a recalcitrant teenager’s bedroom. I’m almost tempted to test it…almost, although I don’t think I’ve got enough Paracetamol to hand…
This it has to be said is a work or art. I may print it out and frame it. Or possibly render it in oils. Either way I reckon this message has the same effect on IT Managers as my first viewing of “Alien” did to me at the tender age of 13, sitting in a darkened bedroom listening on headphones so that my parents couldn’t hear – It scared the shit out of me. And so does this message […]

I’ve been setting up the web filtering for the company I work for. These are the things I think definitely need removing. Anyone else have a good argument against any of the others? This one is really gonna piss people off:

a) Steve Jobs considers Flash a “security risk” because it is buggy and is trying to protect his loyal worshippers. b) The hardware is not up to it. c) Apple is protecting its revenue stream – flash support would allow web based applications, games and video streaming, thus cutting into the profits of the iTunes store. Answer: C Simples! No. #364 in a list of things about the iPhone that annoys the hell out of me despite owning one and […]
TIVO has fallen from grace in this country and is longer available this side of the pond. It was a clever little PVR (Personal Video Recorder) for its time but not without its foibles. The concept was simple: you told it what you liked in terms of programming by a) what you had previously watched and b) by pressing a thumbs up or thumbs down button whilst watching the TV. When it worked it was brilliant – seemingly having almost […]
There’s a lot of old stuff in Oxford – everywhere you wander you look up and there’s some great Gothic building towering and quite often looking, down upon you. There’s a lot of “history” going on, everything feels old, even the water tasted ancient, but perhaps that’s just the pipes.
