I remember it like it was yesterday… being put into another teachers class in front of a giant Baird television so we could watch the launch of the first space shuttle. Being told by Raymond Baxter that in no time at all, this would revolutionise space travel and we’d all be going in to space […]
Who is running this? I mean… really.
First off, the MTAS system has a URL that is unsecured. I can see where someone came from with this. If no-one knows the page name, they aren’t going to get in. Of course, that loses things like login audit information and also takes a chance that someone isn’t […]
When I’m travelling, I use my smartphone to get certain information. What’s really great is when people build sites that consider the needs of those without a lot of screen space or bandwidth. When you’re on a phone, you want it brief and to the point.

Reading the WTA tennis rankings, I found out there’s an Israeli player called Anna Smashnova.
I know there’s Alan Ball (football) and Tony Dobbin (horse racing) who also have appropriate names. Are there any others?
I’ve just tried out Google’s new MyMaps feature that’s part of Google Maps. I was trying it because my own attempts at creating a custom map were time consuming - working out the co-ordinates and then hand coding them.
MyMaps gives you a browser interface where you can plot points of interest, draw lines and all […]
There’s quite a lot of talk about who’s going to win the next generation video war between blu-ray and hd dvd.
