Random burblings since 1999
Just spotted that the BBC will be showing Concorde’s last ever arrival at Heathrow (or anywhere else) on the goggle-box today at 3:30pm.
And as I’m working at home I can plonk myself in front of the TV, with my wirelessly connected laptop and watch history.
(I KNEW there was a reason I needed that wireless connection)
Wireless Works! USB uselessly unavailable. Fixable folly. Flippin flaked.
Master in morning.
Bed.
A List Apart 3.0 opens it’s doors.
Bloody gorgeous and packed to the gunnels with useful information and articles.
Why I’m practically drooling over it right now… (not a pretty sight I warrant).
What does the Bible actually say about being gay?
One of those articles from BBC News which, whilst being informative, is hardly ‘news’. Does the phrase “agree to disagree” mean ANYTHING to some of these people?
Seems there is a little ‘ruse’ in the offing. If you received an email from the aforementioned Mr.Furlong, I suggest you read this.
Of course it could all be above board, someone might actually want to give you $20/month for doing, essentially, nothing. Stranger things have happened.
Cast your mind back to the mid-80s and early mobile phones. You remember them, big clunky, and not exactly ‘mobile’ really. As time moves on, they get smaller, and the technology in the phones improves. Nowadays the size of a mobile phone isn’t really the issue, more the features and gadgets you get with it.. does it have a camera? does it have a built-in radio?
The unsung advance is, naturally, in the area of most importance – the microphone. This has undergone radical improvements since those early days, with background noise hardly noticeable, and the pickup area (where you talk) refined to capture every nuance and subtle intonation of the speaker. Marvellous things.
What this means is YOU DON’T HAVE TO SHOUT TO BE HEARD ANYMORE!!!
Yes, tall bloke in the dark jacket (with the iRiver MP3 player hang round your neck), I’m talking to you!!!! Ohh and if you insist on shouting, please DON’T wander to and fro across the platform while I’m waiting for a train, and particularly DON’T come and stand next to me.
