7-balled - DC Pool League update
The DC Pool League has stalled in the past couple of months due to injuries collected by players and generally being busy.
Some of us have resumed playing our league matches now and I lost my recent match against the Baldboss. But I don’t care, I grannied/7-balled him! d
Machines vs people
Faced with the dreaded task of actually having to go into my local HSBC to deposit some money, I thought I’d leave it until the lunchtime rush was over to avoid the queues. Imagine my surprise when I stepped into the newly renovated branch to find a wall full of machines with confused-looking customers […]
Plenty of Joost
OK, so I shouldn’t be writing headlines (I toyed with ‘Joost in time’ but noticed The Register had beaten me to it). However despite my lack of copy writing skills, I did feel compelled to blog about Joost.
For those of you not familiar with this soon to launched IPTV service, it’s the latest brainchild of […]

However, whatever warm and fuzzy feeling I get when watching a Steve Jobs keynote […]

Mind you, Revver (‘who?’ I hear you ask) already share revenue with users and they don’t seem to be setting the world […]
Online voting gone wrong
The NHL’s voting for this year’s All-Star game, which was played last weekend, was carried out via unlimited online balloting. Anyone could vote for any player as many times as they wanted, as long as they filled out the entire ballot.
A campaign to ‘Vote for Rory’, a not very spectacular player who normally wouldn’t […]
Conran shortlisted
We’ve just heard Conran.com has been shortlisted for a Revolution Award. We’re happy!
New Speak
Dreamhost is a US-based web host popular with a few people at DC. The bang-for-the-buck you get in terms of bandwidth, disk space, and account privileges seem almost are too good to be true! You see, over 2006 Dreamhost seemed to suffer an ongoing set of mini-disasters that affected websites, access to email, and generally […]
