It’s nice that Google have set up Google Moon so you can take a closer look at the Apollo landing sites. But have you seen what happens when you zoom right in?
RSS Feeds
Anyone who was subscribed to the full.rdf or full.xml feeds from this site would have stopped getting updates for a couple of weeks. Sorry about that – I’ve fixed it all now and you should have just recieved many days worth of bloggy goodness. It’s worth pointing out that full.rdf and full.xml are both deprecated… Continue reading RSS Feeds
BBC Streams
I’ve made some pretty sweeping changes to the BBC streams page. Some of the Real Player links are now gone and there are now links to play everything in the BBC Radio Player application. You’ll notice that there are still some links to Real streams on my page. These mainly point to talk shows where… Continue reading BBC Streams
Flickr Pro
I have a Flickr Pro account to give away by the end of today. If you’re interested then drop me an email. Be a shame to let it go to waste. Update: It’s gone now.
Broken Email
At the same time as I moved my mail handling to a different server, I also made a tiny tweak to my procmail settings. Can’t remember now why I did it, or what I thought it was going to achieve.

They also bought a National Express coach ticket and had a bit of a field day in Argos.… Continue reading Credit Card Theft
Configuring Spamassassin
I moved my email handling to a new server a month or so ago and since them I’ve noticed a larger than usual amount of spam getting into my inbox rather than being caught by Spamassassin. Today I decided that enough was enough and that I’d investigate further. My first theory was that in moving… Continue reading Configuring Spamassassin
Agents Can’t Read
Not that anyone is going to be surprised by this, but it seems that a number of recruitment agents have problems with basic reading skills. This morning I got three emails from agents containing details of potential jobs. In two of the three cases they were actually quite good matches for my skills. But, of… Continue reading Agents Can’t Read
Blogging the Bombs
It’s a couple of days on, so let’s step back and take a look at what happened on Thursday. I’m still trying to articulate exactly how I feel about it all so let’s leave that for another post and instead look at more practical matters. Basically, it seems to me that Thursday 7th July 2005… Continue reading Blogging the Bombs
