Oh Fiddlesticks and Fudge… The Tube Race is Over!

2 Hours, 56 Minutes, 39 Seconds
That time not only smashed the existing record for visiting every Tube Station in Zone 1 by a massive twenty minutes, it was good enough for second place in the race. Tom Reynolds and I were beaten back from first place by a margin of 49 seconds. Over three hours. […]

Follow Me Around the Tube

I’m leaving now to get to Vauxhall to start the challenge. I’ll see if I can update this post as I go, but chances are we’ll be posting from “above ground” over at Tom Reynolds site, who’s running with me.

The Zone 1 Tube Race is Almost Here

…so I’m expecting a few cancellations, people turning up out the blue, and a surprise from the media. Let’s take those one at a time, after a quick recap of what you actually should be doing during the day.
Basically, make sure you have a notebook with you, and note the time you pass through each […]

Meet the Communicator, The Charlie, and The Lightning

Well that was a nice little visit. Earlier this week I was invited up to Nokia UK to preview some of the new Symbian OS phones they have coming out in the next few months. Let’s just say I was mightily impressed with one, not sure about the styling on another, and convinced the design […]

Getting Ready For Friday’s Tube Run

Well, it’s all hotting up. Some more details and confirming a few things. Be at Vauxhall Tube Station for 12.20 if you want to join us, outside the Ticket Office. When it’s all over, head to The Horse and Groom in Great Portland Street. We shuld (fingers crossed) have the room upstairs. Thanks to Geoff […]

Mairi’s Two Weeks Old Already

From Vikki
Mairi’s two weeks old now. I can’t believe how fast the time has flown! The midwife was here today because Mairi hadn’t yet regained her birth weight (though she’d only lost 7oz from 7lb 14oz) and after feeding like a little piggie for the last few days and looking very drunk after each feed, […]

Psion RSS Application and The Power of Distributed Computing.

A new RSS Reader for the Psion netBook and EPOC powered computers. But it’s not really a new application - at least not in the traditional sense. Distributed computing, Wi-Fi, Bloglines, could this be the future?

Finbar’s Back!!!

Somebody at Wood Lane loves me. Now everyojne is nicely rested, back from Hospital and starting to adjust to a family of four people (and Daddy working on the computer through the day), I can justify stopping at 4.45pm to watch the TV with Eilidh because…
…The ‘Finbar The Mighty Shark’ Show is back!
Okay, yes it’s […]

More Mairi

From Vikki
We haven’t got around to updating Eilidh’s website (the plan being to split the site between her and Mairi) so here’s a few “loose” pictures for now. Some of you may have seen some of them already. They’re in chronological order, from Mairi at around 20 minutes old to this morning at five days […]

Sendo X Review On The Register - Money For Old Rope?

John Lettice (who sat next to me at the Sendo X Press Gig where I reviewed the X) has turned in his column inches on the Brummie Smartphone. I’ll quote just one section:
I do however muse on the possibilities for some kind of semi-independent Bluetooth keyboard. Put about as much smarts in it as one […]
