“The noisiest paper, without doubt, was the News of the World, which resounded with three continuous notes. The first and most defensible was sport … Then, there were television performers … Last and most cacophonous, there was the assumption, or the ardent hope, that somebody, somewhere, was having sex with somebody he should not be [...]
I submitted an interview request to Mark Zuckerberg, hopefully that goes somewhere… The Social Network. Let’s be frank, we all had our doubts about the entertainment value of a movie detailing the early days of a website. As it happens though, with juicy lawsuits and a killer script, you can make a phenomenal flick. Some [...]
The news from the Obama Administration that they intend to change regulations regarding the wire-tapping of the internet has not escaped the usual scaremongering. Reddit has really gone to town with this, jumping on top of it as if it’s irrefutable evidence that Obama is evil and we’re segueing into a 1984 state. “They basically [...]
I don’t usually do ‘I-hate-this’ posts, but this is a special case. People from mobile networks asking to do surveys. There’s a special circle of hell reserved just for them. Yesterday, I was doing homework at the kitchen table when my phone rang. It was a 0044 number. I ignore it because I frequently get [...]
When one thinks of the South of France, one can’t help but imagine the sunny skies, golden beaches and laid back lifestyle. We have one of the above. We’re currently in Mausanne-Les-Alpilles, where we stayed over the last couple of years (camping), even though that’s not where we’re strictly ‘based’, for the want of a [...]
Locked In. This morning, I checked out the local library to avail of their free wifi, to check if 4.0 was released to the general public. It wasn’t, but I realized that developers would’ve been able to get it straight away. I asked a developer I knew over MSN if I could use her developer [...]
EDIT 17:13 – The post below is from an article from the Boston Globe – an error on my part meant that the introductory link above and the block quotes I originally had around the parts that weren’t mine didn’t show in the final post here. Apologies to the author Erin McKean – I wasn’t trying to steal [...]
OK, I don’t hate the internet that much – that I wouldn’t post for 3 days. The reason for this is the simple fact that we’re putting on a 2.5 hour show twice in one day in 8 days time (tomorrow week!) and the rehearsals are eating away at time which would usually be spent on [...]
Well, is it still a cast update if I don’t actually have a cast on at present? Details, details… I am currently cast-less; admittedly 3 weeks earlier than usual, but without-cast all the same. Yesterday while watching a film with Mum, we noticed marks/stains around my right knee on the cast. I’d been feeling more [...]
Since Saturday night last, I’ve been dealing with very bad knee pain — the worst in several years of pain. We had a meeting with the physio and a surgeon on Wednesday morning who told us that since we’d exhausted other methods of relief (painkillers, ice, electronic stimulation), we should try cortisone injections into the [...]
