If you are being spammed by an @skippy.org.uk domain email address, i feel for you, but i am being killed by failed reports……

I use Outlook 2007 as my POP Cliant, but for the love of god, why is there no decent spam filter? so Outlook has been turned off, and Tunderbird is taking the spam out of my account using IMAP.

Hopefully the Flood will die down, and Outlook will have a Thunderbird style spam filter one day, (just click on the flame if its spam, and it will do the rest)

And there we have it, a condom’ed Camera, Now the question is how to get a Nikon D70 underwater?

I am thinking that mounting it in a 200mm plastic tube with clear end caps, and mounting the infer red wand in condoms,

or dismantal one, put everything in the tube, bar the switch?

“Today’s young people are spending eight times more on telephony than music. Up to 20 per cent of their disposable income goes on communications and associated services, leading to a rapid decline in sales of CDs, chocolate, and cigarettes - for better or worse.

Of course, one can attribute that decline to music piracy and effective public health information, but lead author of the report Graham Brown says it’s clear that mobile telephony is emptying pockets and wallets: “In 2007 they [youth between five and 24] will spend over $150bn on their mobile. That’s up from nothing 10 years ago.” - El Register
Right thats it, any one know a cheap and easy free form of Audio and/or Video Mobile Telephony? I still have my CB Radio.

A while ago Manda posted about LibraryThing.com in her blog, Ruth has also signed up, as have I, my library shelf can be found here, they also let you have little widgits for your blog (mine is at the bottom of the right hand collum)

On Wednesday my two bunnies arived from Think Geek, My Nabaztag was to be called Frigg, as my computer naming convention is currently running with Norse Goddess, Ruth has called Hers RoSS, at the moment they are both sat on my book shelf, RoSS on the right, Frigg on the left.

The two Nabaztags were to mark Ruth and I’s three years together. as a web controled rabits, they comunicate with servers in France, however this does not stop people writing there own functions for them, Nabaztalk is a forum set up for developers. and has a list of API interfaces, also you can get cloths and other things for your Nabaztag from Nabzone, however i am looking to make mine a coat out of Chainmail.

The Origional Bolt is dead, After 10 years of online-ness, they closed it today, that is 10 years of my online life closed, all the REG’s i have met and know from there have moved around, some i can keep in contact with through Facebook, Tedious Path, and helldot[seems to be down]. but it wont be the same without the Wiccan Board.

Bolt(folio) is no replacement, if your an old Bolter and want to keep in touch please check here.

Ben in his blog makes refrance to MySpace. I dont use Social networking sites to tell me who my friends are, they are more like a wiki,

one where every one can fordge links to eachother and common inttrests or groups, I have both a MySpace, and a Facebook. Myspace sucks, mainly because its UI is attortius, Facebook is better, but i am guessing they would have learnt a lot from MySpace, this all goes towards making it a usefull way of keeping track of people.
The two complainte, One no pingbacks, or useable blog addresses, (this blog post will be sindicated in facebook, but you cant ping back to the origanal or anything), Two. no RSS feeds, call me sad, but RSS made me a lazy surfer.

Untill recently my home page in Firefox (at home, work and on my laptop) was the defult google page, this was mainly due to it being convenant, and not having a better page to load by default,

I have though about using a Wiki to store random data, some of it which lives only for a short time, (links, quotes) or some things that dont fit anywhere, and are only required for online activitys, such as links to sites at work. (Tagging works :D)
i know i could have used some bookmarks syncronisation tool, or a text file that i can keep with me, but then i found TiddilyWiki its a single file Wiki, using only javascript, you just keep it on your hard drive (my case i store it on my PDA) and carry it round with you.

There is a Google Earth Panorama Viewer Tutorial that kicks arse, when i get around to fixing PhilipMcGaw.com I think i will distribute my panoramics as KMZ’s as well

My Free Fon was delivered yesterday, but i have only just got round to writing about it, as Rich says, it is quite good, I have now got three AP’s running in my house (with my Fon box being AP3)

Its Public AP i beleve runs in a VPN through your network to there servers, as such it totaly bypasses any of your network, making it imposible for a person conecting to it to get access to your network.

One anoying thing about them though, (reason that the Fon AP is not high on my prefered conection list) is that between the LAN port and its privert SSID is a Router, compleate with NAT and firewall, this stops me accessesing my own network in the open way i ushaly do.

Seth said yesterday that the One Year offer page had gone, and as such i dontated my invite to him. I think ben will be getting his soon, and then we should have a more technical autopsy of the free Router (including how to flash it and stop sharing your wi-fi).
