iPaq for under a tenner

Amazon.co.uk seem to have messed up The Register have the details. I have one in my basket but the site no longer responds and is closed if you try to access it right now.
I reckon someone is collecting their P45 today.

Talk about promoting paranoia

Payfinder is a website that claims to allow you to find out how your salary compares to a colleague in the same company.

Anyone want to know what I earn? Yeah me too actually and it’s certainly not enough for my jet setting life style of recent months đŸ˜‰

See I told you religion was evil!

The church fears that legislation against discrimination on the grounds of sexuality could lead to prosecution against bishops who refuse to ordain practising homosexuals.
Nothing about those of us who no longer need the practise đŸ˜‰

Str8 Acting?

Should I describe myself as a str8 acting abercrombie boy? Well erm nope cos I am not str8 acting (I’d have to sleep with women and all that malarkey first). Some people may call me an abercrombie whore but hey I like the clothes.

School Uniform

When I had the shool disco party the other week a couple of the boys (and girls) mentioned how horny it was to see two girls dressed in school uniform. I never really saw it. Rob and his man Tony however look very sweet in their uniforms.

Scared of flying?

I flew 17,280k this month and again last month on my return leg. December I flew 39,254k so in total the last three months I’ve clocked up a fair few airpoints.
I’m not scared of flying – never have been – I need to travel far too much to let transport get in the way.
However the recent stories of a super bug travelling via plane routes is worrying me. I spent a good hour at Kuala Lumpur airport mixing with other passengers and therefore potentially a lethal super virus.
It’s not like HIV, you don’t have to mix blood or other bodily fluids. You can just sit on a plane and breathe in recycled air. Wander around an airport lounge and inhale someone elses germs froma cough or a sneeze.
It reminds me a little of the film Twelve Monkeys when a deadly virus is distributed by a scientist on his trip around the world. That wass intentional in the real world it seems mere accident is spreading the virus.
So now I am a little more concerned about flying.

No more Ben Browder :(

John points out that Farscape aired it’s final show whilst I was out of the country (damn I knew I forgot to get something taped what with 24 and all).
I’m kind of happy I can delay the inevitable though as I missed the majority of the final season. So at least I have something to look forward to – I’ll get it on DVD when it’s out.

WIFI 4 FREE

Tom poses a hypothetical question about WIFI and Starbucks. I read about this a few weeks ago and have to say if Tom’s hypothesis goes into the real worl I think too many smaller shops next door would end up opening and offering a free service just to prove a point.
My initial reaction when I read about the proliferation of WIFI was excellent, coffee shops and cafes across the nation will be installing WIFI. Of course I do have to admit here to living directly above a coffee shop so it would be a free service for me that I could use without nipping in for an overpriced coffee.
So would that be breaking the law?

It would appear that I do not need to pay for broadband at home anyway – I could just nip around the corner with my laptop. It would mean I’d have an excuse to go buy a lovely new iBook.

Mad American Disease

In the States, they’re renaming food ‘Freedom Fries‘ and ‘Freedom Toast’. Maybe they want to give back the Statue of Liberty too?

Konfabulous

I know I’m a bit late on this one – wired mentioned it ages ago – but Konfabulator really is the mutt’s nuts!
If you don’t own a Mac then this alone is reason enough to go buy one đŸ˜‰
I’m currently loving the iTunes Bezel and Chainshot. So much so I’m working on a widget to let people know when 8letters is updated and to read the RSS feed.
