Everyone loves Firefox, or at least everyone I know does. As an avid mac fan I tend to use safari most of the time. (Except when blogging blogger no likey safari) One of the main reasons I stopped using IE was the lack of a search box in the corner, though Microsoft have sorted that out now.Well it seems the little Google box in the corner is proving lucrative for other reasons than attracting

A little off topic blog post

2007-01-04T11:23:00.001Z

I know I'm getting old now, trips to the countryside seem appealing. I watch programmes about Animals that don't kill things. It's all a slippery slope really.Perhaps thats why I'm putting up the following link to a campaign to Save Milton Country Park.It's no where near Brighton but is just around the corner from where my girlfriends parents live, and its where we take her charming little mutt

According to NMA, it won't be long before you lucky three mobile users can be watching GeekTV live on your mobile. Of course that all depends on you being able to connect to the three network which is from what I hear not all that reliable.It seems from the NMA article that the service is going to follow the stream model, of continous shows, which always seems srtrange to me.

Digg Diess a deathh

2007-01-03T22:35:00.000Z

In a bit of a tongue in cheek series of suggestions Wired has made up a few predictions for the following year. Some are sarcastic like Google dropping the "don't be evil" some a bit more absurb like "PaedoSpace"One that might actually hold some water is digg going the way of friendster.

If in doubt talk about the weather

2007-01-03T22:05:00.000Z

Techcrunch despite its recent scrapes over the closing of the UK franchise does still occasionally throw up the good tip. Weather Bill is just such an example.I have absolutely no idea how the business model works, which isn't hugely surprising for a web 2.0 start up, but they are offering insurance policies against bad weather. It seems more aimed for businesses than making sure you don't waste

A slightly romantic viral marketing attempt

2007-01-03T16:41:00.000Z

In what I only hope is bloke attempting to become a online viral phenomena, rather that a cynical business trying to do some undercover social web marketing.

Let me prefix this by stating quite how evident in the piece the nostalgia for un-remembered past is. It’d be nice to be objective, as often as the discourse of the grass is greener on the other side it is nowhere near reaching the ubiquity of the ‘good ol’days’ detritus, even if the glory years were long before the night you’re dad got lucky was even pencilled in his diary.The last few days i’ve

I dunno how secretive I am supposed to be about this (I'm being positive about the film and why else would a film company show a film early other than to create a buzz) but the other day I had the fluke of getting in for a super advance screening of Serenity the new movie from the writer of Buffy, Angel et al.

In any event, Technical Rebel is my radio show, broadcast from 22:00-23:00, Saturday nights on 1431am URF. Each week features club listings, up

Watching The Kills perform it's hard not to be consumed by the raw powerand sexual attitude on display. Since I first saw them live in Washington D.C. in 2003 I've been captivated by them, intrigued by what makes them tick. They prefer to keep the media at arms length but when they played in Brighton recently, I managed to persuade them to talk to me. Here are the highlights..It's been a long

As a few of you may no I'm not adverse to the occasional tipple of the Ole JD and Coke, as I love to live the rockist drink cliche, but unfortunately as I am but a poor student the black labeled stuff from Tennessee is quite often beyond my reach, so I often opt for the somewhat cheaper own brand bourbon alternative.However this is a bit of a mindfield so I feel I ought to aid those in a similar

This week i've been back home in Camberley, and a bit bored, so i've been trawling through old 'favourites' on internet explorer. I came across 'www.babylonzoo.net', and it bought back many fond memories, mostly of impersonating Babylon Zoo mainman Jas Mann, and telling his loyal subjects that a new album would be on the way soon. I eventually got banned from the site for this, the big fascists.

Why I moved House Last Summer

2005-03-23T19:29:00.000Z

As some of you may know I moved houses last yearly, mainly because they all left me, but maybe cause I was difficult to live with and one particular housemate often felt the brunt due to, how shall I put it, our differing views on spirituality. But after tour brief MSN convo copied below maybe she was right and I was wrong...SHE says:hmmm. what are your plans for next yr?ME says: move to london

To be honest I didn't really know what I was buying , at the time I only knew Don't you Want Me, but it was one of my favourite songs of all time but more on that later.

Well been a little why since I posted So thought I'd knock up a hasty one while I've got access for it might be a while before I'm next back online. Firstly I suggest by entirely legal methods you obtain Song for Whoever by The Beautiful South. It has great lyrics and is responsible for my current MSN name. Also in an attempt to make this post more interesting I thought I'd post up my

Recently I've been re-assessing Elton John; Admitably because of the Scissor Sisters aping of him and me finally getting a copy of Tiny Dancer from almost famous. And I've come to the conclusion he's under-rated. Its far to easy to file him under Diva, not particularly helped by Bo Selecta's "i'm gonna bum you into next week" Pastiche, but re-listening to his greatest hits ignoring all the Queen

Statistics Bloody Statistics The more I think about filesharing, the more guilty I feel, but I can't help but agree with this artical, theres very few albums ofr songs i've downloaded that i would have gone out and bought and/or afforded. The the dodgy CD's I have that I might have bought tend to be those I copy off my mates, and completely removed from the whole napster issue. Thats something

Well i swore this year I would bet on who I wanted to win. Too often in the last few years iIve guessed right Which means I won'tt stand a chance this year but I can try at least Anyhow my thoughts.... Basement Jaxx – ‘Kish Kash’ I don't actually own this album so I can't say for definate but i can't see this winning, they are already pretty big and to be honest I don't think anyone else

its 30 yesrs since abba won eurovision this week, i have to say abba aren't looked back on with such nostalgia as the beatles but i think they definately have them matched on all out shameless pop-ness granted they prob would lose out in the progressive experimentalism, but in a pop band do you need that? worhty of note cause it means eurovision is coming round soon will i actually organise a

well a decade is a long time... year its ten years since mr kurt nirvana got a big ol'gun and blew his brains out, and as a fitting tribute nme put his mug on the cover, xfm play a different nirvana on the half hour and virgin megastores in london have set up a shrine (their words not mine) sure i'm not alone in the sentiment that i dont know what all the fuss is about. However whilst my

hmmm been a weird one today..... firstly spent the morning reading a multitude of blogs about glasto and the ticket difficulties/fiasco, fortunately for me the indie-tastic line up wasnt appealing enough to shell out 100 odd quid, however those indie than thou and those with the whole 'ot's glasto and thus cause it was started by hippys and is still badly organised it gives this incredible

last night i found myself watching possibly the most surreal and absurb televisual experience i have seen 'this week' is normally a not to bad political programme, goes quite well with my strange sleep patern and passing interesting in politics, normally its not much to blog about however yesterday it most certainly was Andrew Neil, the normal presenter was away, exciting i hear you cry....
