A licensee is facing legal action for letting smoke drift into his neighbour’s garden.
In what is believed to be the first episode of its kind, Jeff Castledine, licensee of the Queens Head in Boreham, Chelmsford, has received a letter from Chelmsford Borough Council following a complaint about “nuisance caused by odour from […]
I’ve lo
There’s a very funny comedy on Radio 4 at the moment, produced by much of the Fast Show team called Down the Line. So funny that I had to turn off at Reading Services to sit and listen to the rest of it.
I’m surprised that no-one tried to mine the rich seam of comedy […]
Blog Offline with Google Gears
I missed the whole Google Gears party, which is a shame really. In the past, I’ve worked on applications that do something similar to Google Gears. I used to know it as spooling.
This offline application allows someone running Google Gears to use their browser to blog, and if they’re offline, it […]

McDonalds to do Free Wi-Fi
McDonald’s has announced that it will offer free Wi-Fi in its 1,200 UK outlets by the end of the year.
