My Yahoo! Hack has been published

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005

…and I didn’t even know! I only remembered when reading an old post from Mikel earlier that I had submitted a hack. An now there it is, hack #65. It is even available to download as a preview. Very cool.
There is also a bit of history to this hack. Back in early 2000 still […]

Million Dollar Homepage works?

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

Call me crazy, but yesterday bought 100 pixels on the Million Dollar Homepage for $100 (£58). See the little house icon just below the big tabmarks ad. This will be a present for my mum’s birthday to advertise her B&B business (you see I rely on the assumption that my mum does not read […]

Stuttgart Airport

Monday, December 19th, 2005

I am quite impressed with the amazing tree like support structures in this airport. You don’t really notice them on the ground, but as I was looking for a place to sit and waste a couple of hours I ended up on a type of gallery. And from here these things look amazing. At the […]

Heathrow Terminal 2

Monday, December 19th, 2005

I have not flown out of Heathrow Terminal 2 for a while and am shocked by how prehistoric it seems compared to the refurbished Terminal 1. I was also shocked by the tiny Lufthansa lounge after getting so used to the vast expanse of the BA Terraces and Champagne Bar in T1. Creature comforts […]

Team Lunch at the Indian YMCA

Friday, December 16th, 2005

Now this is a real gem. The Indian YMCA at 41 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 6AQ, is a proper Youth Hostel just off Tottenham Court Road. But it also has a Cafe that serves really down to earth, wholesome Curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only potential drawback: No booze, just water. But maybe […]

Here we can clearly see that the salt goes in the one with the, um… Multiple holes. Right.

Just got my new PSP

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Yes, I swallowed the bitter pill and forked out £90.00 to get an "out of warranty" replacement for my PSP. Apart from the fact that I am still totally pissed off with Sony for making a bloody toy that deems  the forces created by my thumb as exessive, it was actually not a bad servcie. […]

Lost to LOST

Saturday, December 3rd, 2005

It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but I am a TV addict. I am not saying that because I am a big fan of of any particular show. No, I can get addicted to any good or medium quality TV drama. I spent years watching every episode of Star Trek TNG, DS9 and, in my […]

Salt or Pepper?

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

I can never figure out which pot contains the salt and which the pepper. The fact that a pair usually contains two different pots with a differnt number of holes in the top suggests that the distinction should make it obvious where the salt is and where the pepper. Yet my thesis is that its […]
