I have been having fun with my panoramas, printing them up onto great long rolls of photo paper. The largest, Galleywood Common, stretches to 134cm in length and takes an age (and a gallon of ink) to print.
So, I’ve been making them into little Flash files and putting them online so they can be viewed [...]

Well, what an exciting year it is for Eurosong fans. First was the next this year’s Eurovision Song Contest might not happen at all after Latvia went over its sums again and realised it was far short of the funds to stage the event, then the revelation that from next year it’s likely to be [...]

A firm in Germany has actually built a fully functioning time machine. Only trouble is, it can only travel forwards in time, not backwards, so you couldn’t use it to go back and undo an unintentional naughtyness.
Called the Age Explorer, it looks like a red space suit - kind of like the ones they had [...]

US demands air travellers’ data, read a headline in The Guardian yesterday:
All passengers flying to the US from Britain will have personal information, including credit card details, handed over to the American authorities before they set foot on US soil, under a deal agreed yesterday.

So, back to work after a fun weekend, and back to proofing pages.
I travelled up to London with dad. The trains ran surprisingly well, which made a mockery of my frequent complaints to him on the phone about how bad they are. It dropped him in the city well before his connection, so as I [...]

Fortunately Sal and Dan were late. They got stuck in traffic, as they do every time they come back to Essex. That gave me plenty of time for showering, dressing and surfing for porn. All above board. Steve suggested doing naked Celebrities on tonight’s Through the Night so I hit the search engines and dug [...]

Tonight’s Through the Night feature was on naked celebrities. Which involved being paid to search for porn. I was surprised how difficult it turned out to be. It’s dead easy to find free porn online, of course, but not of famous people. Most of it’s locked up safely and securely behind Celebticket, which seems to [...]
