Too Fat for a Single Seat?

Interesting this. In 2006 I took a flight from Cape town to Manchester and I had to endure the twelve and a half hour journey stuck next to a right chubbster. Doesn’t sound too bad looking back on it, “I had to sit next to someone who was kind of in my personal space for [...]

Stop iTunes Software Updates

There is one single reason I work with OS X and not Windows. When you sit in front of a computer all day it needs to be a nice environment to work in and OS X is. In fact I think it’s the best operating system I’ve ever used, it definitely seems to be the [...]

Alien Life

What’s the point in searching for extra terrestrial life? I don’t mean “Why would you want to meet other beings” I just mean, “what’s the point of actually *going looking* for them”. We’re so unlikely to find anything it absolutely boggles my mind. No-one even knows what they’re looking for, and this is the bit [...]

Subaru TRAX STI

I have found my new car! Not only will this be useful in the Ski Season, I think it might help cut the number of idiot cyclists, moped riders and motorbikers in London by natural selection – only the strong will survive! Out of my way!

CoPilot Live Review

I purchased CoPilot live about a fortnight ago one Friday afternoon, thinking I could test it out on my drive from london to manchester later that day. It took about 2 hours to download which put me quite close to 6PM when I left work so I was surprised when I excitedly started it up [...]

Planes Trains and Boatamobiles

You may or may not know that I am responsible for the disbanding of 3J Towers. A shock perhaps but for a while now I have had a strong desire to try out life on the water and since the flat has shown little promise of floating, it has to go. So a large part [...]

Cookie

Here’s a short video I recorded last night during a short break from building a new website. It features me and my other flatmate Cook. He lives on the top floor of the flat on a blow-up bed and a bean bag, it’s a bit like having a big hairy dog. I initially went up [...]

Dear Lily, Why are you being this silly?

Lily Allen’s been on about music piracy this week. and here’s an excellent response from a young man called Dan Bull.

Punting in Cambridge

Went up to Cambridge at the weekend to do a spot of punting and very pleasant it was indeed. Thanks to Dans punting contacts we managed to rent “Big Bertha” which is one of the large punts normally only available with a guide which saved our group of seven from having to rent two separate [...]

Arturo Gatti Found Dead

Boxing legend Arturo Gatti has been found dead in a Brazillian Villa. Reuters are reporting that he was found dead in his underwear by his wife, and that police discovered a bloodied bag handle nearby. The BBC report Brazillian authorities suggestion that he was strangled and possibly hit over the head. Being frank, I imagine [...]
