31 May 2004: Bods ‘uses’ mycokemusic.com

Well you can’t beat a sequel sometimes, so to follow up ‘Bods Tries To Use mycokemusic.com’, here is Bods ‘uses’ mycokemusic.com! And what an ‘experience’ it was…

30 May 2004: Homeward Bound!

Some of the walls need a bit of a paint, the bathroom really needs a new bath, and the fridge freezer arrived with a big dent in it.

29 May 2004: The King’s Head, Colliers Wood

But then maybe it’s the fact that the place looks like it hasn’t been refurbished since the 1970s doesn’t help. It’s the only Young’s pub I’ve seen that still has the company logo that was abandoned some point in the 1980s.

25 May 2004: Leaving Ealing

Just a few days before we get hold of the keys… We’re not moving in straight away - but waiting until the following weekend but it’s getting… well exciting that finally we’ll have it, but sad as well.

20 May 2004: Robert Kilroy-Silk. Idiot?

Here’s a gem from Robert Kilroy-Silk on Question Time this evening. Apparantly according to him, the existance of the European Union has not kept peace in Europe. Nope. Oh no. No. It’s America that have kept the peace…

19 May 2004: Sasser Where Art Thou?

Okay, I’m confused now. Certainly it looked like I had the Sasser virus on Muffin the Wonder Laptop…

18 May 2004: Sasser and Comet

How depressing. I connect the Windows XP laptop to the internet for the first time in 6 months and bamm. Sasser virus.

17 May 2004: Red Lion Wins Again

I’m really late with this one but last weekend, landlord of the Red Lion, Jonathan, told me they’ve won CAMRA West Middlesex Branch Pub of the Year again! Just like they did in 2003 and 2002.

17 May 2004: Beer On Broadway XV

In case anyone is wondering why there has been no follow up to last years wonderfully succesful Eurovision 2003 post, then I should state that Saturday night was spent at Beer on Broadway - also known as the Ealing Beer Festival.

17 May 2004: Corrections and Clarifications

Given the PR disastor that surrounded the launch of Movable Type 3, it’s perhaps not surprising that there have been some ‘clarifications’ (or backtracking, depending on whose opinion you read) about the new licensing.

14 May 2004: Key dates from BBCi history

Key dates from the BBC interactive text service history.

13 May 2004: Built Using Movable Type v2.661

Following on from my Movable Type essay/rant [delete as appropiate], I’ve made an ever so slight change to the template of this site.

13 May 2004: I Want My MT3…

Well the announcement of version 3 of popular blogging software Movable Type has been greeted with a flurry of posts in the blogs across the land. Unfortunatly they’re rarely about the flurry of new features, but instead concentrating on one thing and one thing alone. The price.

10 May 2004: Before you hit the send button, think first.

Do you ever wonder if people actually use email to communicate in a way that they never would with any other form of communication? To say things that they probably shouldn’t? And that they wouldn’t by phone, or by text, by letter or in person?

10 May 2004: Beds, beds and… err… beds.

One of the things about buying a house for the first time is that suddenly you have to go out and buy loads of things, which is why this evening, we ended up buying a bed.

6 May 2004: bbc.co.uk rebrand

So today the BBCi website became bbc.co.uk. An amazing transformation which I’m sure a few people haven’t even noticed.

6 May 2004: Are you?

Had an email via my website email form today. Rather odd one cos someone had obviously been searching through websites and spamming them through website contact forms.

4 May 2004: Ikea Bore.

There’s nothing like a trip round Ikea to make you think about the state of your flat.
