Google Calendar

Monday, June 8th, 2009

I’ve had a Google Mail account since 2005, but it’s only since I set up Google Hosted Apps (using your own domains etc) that I’ve really started using it to the full. My latest addiction is the Calendar. The reminders flexibility is great; you can choose from email, popups, or SMS and have them fired [...]

IKEA – The Good, and The Not So Good

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

While I was in Cyprus, I got taken for a wander around IKEA. I was an IKEA virgin, so it was a fun experience. I was impressed with the general quality of the items, the vast array of choice, and the sheer brilliance of some of the designs.
When I got back I made a [...]

Scamming the Scammers: Part 2

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

If you missed the first part of this, you can catch up by clicking here.
So, I’ve been exchanging emails with my new friend in South Africa for about a week now. I’m pleased to say everything is going well and I am guaranteed to receive $500,000 as soon as he receives my payment for the [...]

Starting The Journey to Sustainable Living

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Until I get my Avia (my own house), I’ve been looking into how to grow my own veg and fruit without anywhere to do it. It was then I remembered our council has an allotment scheme! I phoned up yesterday and, sadly, there is a ‘50 person’ waiting list at present. But, I’m number 51!
It’d [...]

LOVEFiLM Appears to Condone Affiliate Spamming

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

I received an email to one of my hundreds of spam-trap addresses a few days ago, promoting a free trial of the LOVEFiLM service. Ironic, as only a few days ago on this very blog, I was promoting the service myself as I love it so much. “This will be easy”, I thought to myself, [...]

R.I.P. Andrew Richard Parr

Friday, June 5th, 2009

At 42 Sir, you were far too young. Be at peace.
Your family, friends and colleagues will remember you forever.
A good service with an excellent turnout. Approximately 400 people squeezed into the Church.

Goodbye, Andy.

Car Insurance!

Friday, June 5th, 2009

I had my renewal documents through from my current insurer today for my car. I don’t believe in “loyalty” in terms of insurance, I go with whoever gives me the best quote that year for the maximum amount of cover and ‘little niceties’ such as a lower compulsory excess, or free breakdown cover etc.
So I [...]

The Power of Breakfast

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day; but it can get a little boring. Day in, day out, munching the same old boring cereal or porridge. So how can you liven it up with little effort, make it immensely healthy, and give your tastebuds a treat?
Add some fresh fruit, some fibre, and some [...]

Spotify – Have you tried it yet?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

I bought my monthly copy of “Stuff” magazine yesterday. It’s about the only monthly publication I buy with any frequency, and it has nothing to do with the scantily-clad women on the front cover. Honest.
I’d heard quite a bit about Spotify before, but I still didn’t really have a clue what it was. I hadn’t [...]
