eerie Ipswich
This morning I had to take a quick trip into Ipswich and the results where some what preplexing. It has been a little over a week since the incidents started happening in and arround Ipswich and even with two people in custody there is a strange feeling to the place. Police cars are still surrounding the Portman Road/Portman Walk area and as you drive along you realise just how present the Police...
Change my screensaver!
Seb Rogers, the Mountain Bike photographer has released a screensaver of some his work.
Both screensavers include some of my favourite pics as well as a clock and date function, so you can kid yourself that staring at mountain bike pictures serves some useful purpose. Enjoy!
Check out the article on Seb’s blog. The only problem is that at present it is PC only, Mac version arriving shortly....

Aperture Virgin
Last night I downloaded the trial version of Aperture to test out and see what it is all about. For those of you in the dark Aperture is Apple’s ‘Pro’ photo application, think of Aperture as what Final Cut Pro is to iMovies for iPhoto. It installed fine and everything looks great but I am totally at a loss now on how to manage my library. Before iPhoto would take care of...

Bachelor Days

Time to catch up with some serious gaming. First up we have Splinter Cell Double Agent; bit old hat now I know but I’ve not really had the time to really check this out. Next up there is...

Mighty Mouse no longer mighty
It would appear that my Mighty Mouse has decided to take the Mighty out of it’s functions. The roller ball will no longer scroll down! Everything else works fine with the thing, scrolling up and sideways. The buttons still function and it looks in good order, I can only guess it has jammed up with fluff or something. Yet can you clean it? Hell no, there does not appear to be any way of...

White
There is something to be said for trying new ideas and keeping everything fresh. But there is also something to be said for actually sitting down and finishing something off; something like a WordPress theme. Exit the Black theme, enter the White version. OK so naming stuff was never really my strong point. I got a bit tired of a dark site, for most it really works for me I wanted something...

The Banks Are Wrong?
This morning on the way into work I was listening to news and there was an article that raised my eyebrow; much to the confusion of the other road users.
A recent article stated:
There are warnings that hundreds of thousands of people are at risk from losing their homes because they can’t keep up their mortgage payments. Debt-help groups say banks are lending five or six times applicants...
