Lots of new websites on the go at the moment, which only partly explains the lack of activity on this one.

Spotify playlists
February 28th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Music, Technology
I am so glad to see a new site called Spotify Playlists which has been set up by a bloke called Trevor. It is something that really needed to exist, so much so that I was tempted to do something similar myself just to collect together all the various playlist I have been coming across […]
Spotify. Again
February 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Music, Technology
I’m still chuffed with Spotify, and it really seems to be picking up now. It featured on the BBC’s 10 o’clock news tonight and is getting mentioned all over the place. I’m sure this means that the userbase is growing rapidly, possibly even exponentially, but the response is still at the shit-off-a-shovel end of the […]

Nice try

A couple of spam/phishing-related tales. Amongst today’s haul of junk mail I received this, apparently from “BT Connect Customer Service <info0009@btconnect.com>”: Dear Esteemed Customers, Due to management problems, your btconnect email will have to be verified by our customer service department due to large amount of spam complains. Please verify your accounts by sending the […]
A world of music
February 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life, Music, Technology
Although I might appear to some people as tech-savvy and into all the latest digital and online fads that is really not accurate. Yes I do have my own website, blog excessively, download music, upload photos to Flickr and kind of keep a Facebook page. I have a couple of digital cameras, a couple of […]
Play that funky music
January 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Technology
I would have written about this last night, had I not fallen into a deep sleep on the sofa as soon as I got home from work and had a sandwich: Apple say they are getting rid of DRM on lots of tracks on iTunes now and will soon get rid of it completely. This […]

Redwatch RIP?
January 7th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Politics
Has Redwatch been closed down? On a whim I looked to see what search strings had brought visitors here. Sometimes this throws up interesting insights like the fact that somebody was searching for the phrase “royal bowel movements”. ((And found that very phrase on this site, I’m proud to say!)) This evening I found nothing […]
Top of the Pops
December 19th, 2008 · Comments Off on Top of the Pops · Technology
The Guardian’s technology section published their list of the top 100 web sites for the year ahead, what they describe as “the cream of the crop”. Looking down the list I see I have been cruelly over-looked again. Probably some dodgy premium-rate phone scandal at the bottom of it… I’ll have to be content with […]

Frustration
December 10th, 2008 · Comments Off on Frustration · Technology
I am starting to see the appeal of this whole concept of cloud computing.  On Saturday I bought a replacement PC. The old one is one that I bought a couple of years ago when the motherboard of the previous computer blew up, and it was basically the cheapest base unit I could get in […]

Questions And Answers
November 18th, 2008 · Comments Off on Questions And Answers · Life, Work
There is a saying in politics that goes along the lines of ‘don’t ask a question unless you are sure of what the answer is’. Today I discovered the hard way that it applies in other areas too.
