29 April 2004: Internal Project Names Unleased To The World

Don’t you just love it when internal project names end up on big documents that are released to the public?

28 April 2004: Exchanged!

Nuff said.

27 April 2004: House Front

So for those interested, here’s what’s going on in the house buying world.

27 April 2004: Chugging ‘ell.

It’s been 17 months since I wrote about the bibbed brigade of direct debit collecting charity nuisances and today I finally found out what the masses are aparantly calling them. But chuggers doesn’t describe them well enough for my liking. I much prefer "annoying <insert swearword here>.

23 April 2004: Big Cheque

Incidently, try writing a cheque for over £28,000. It’s very scary.

23 April 2004: Cowboys.

Have I mentioned that the estate agents are a bunch of cowboys who I will never use again if I can help it?

19 April 2004: Tell me why, I don’t like Mondays…

Property crisis and a cold don’t mix.

15 April 2004: People who use this site, also like…

Launches of new search engines seem to be ten to a penny these days. Yet the launch of one from Amazon is surely a bit more interesting to the world?

13 April 2004: Shaun of the Dead

Saw the wonderful Shaun of the Dead yesterday, which for those of you who don’t know is a romantic comedy. With zombies.

11 April 2004: Search Results Extra.

Incidently, if details of what people searched for isn’t enough for you, you might be interested in what search term in search engines like Google, MSN and so on, people used to find this site.

11 April 2004: Anatomy of Search Results 4

One search on BodsCentral from last week had me puzzled. "Hillgate Place". And I had to wonder. Where is Hillgate Place? Maybe my other search results from last week will shed some light…

10 April 2004: Rocket Science

So it’s week two of Rocket Science with Marc Riley on BBC 6music and it’s sounding good.

7 April 2004: Tooth…

So I’m chomping on a mint and part of my tooth falls out. That’s not particularly fair is it?

5 April 2004: Celebrating the 65

I was reminded about London United taking over the 65 bus route, and this evening I found a I post about it that I made to a mailing list.

3 April 2004: RSS Reassurance!

Incidently just because I have become very sceptical about RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and done my latest feed in Atom, doesn’t mean the existing RSS 2.0 and RSS 0.91 feeds are going anywhere.

3 April 2004: New Atom Full Post Feed

There’s a new full-stories feed for your pleasure. If you use an aggregator to view the site, feel free to give it a try.

2 April 2004: Wibbley Wobbley Time Travel

Get the wibbley wobbley time travel effects on standby - I’ve dug out (for no other reason than I can) a bit of history. Yep it’s my very first post on a newsgroup. Good old usenet eh?

2 April 2004: Top Grades.

The news that Michael Grade will be the next chairman of the BBC was (as has been reported by the media) welcomed by most of the staff at the BBC.
