Introduction I’ve been reading this post on Penny Auction Watch: http://www.pennyauctionwatch.com/2010/11/have-you-bid-on-selloffauctions-com-reviews/ ..and can agree with Amanda that many of the search results are “very interesting“, as she says. The claims from “anonymous” and others really should be chucked out for believability because they are unsubstantiated.  But there still lie many interesting things.  Things like the [...]

After driving through blizzards to get there, I took this little video of King Edward’s Bay en route to the Gibraltar Rock Inn in Tynemouth.  It was freezing and I was shivering…. What it demonstrates quite effectively, is the anti-shake at work on my camera and the fantastic level of zoom it has.  The colours [...]

Following a cold, frosty night, when the early morning fog had lifted, I noticed that the air overhead was exceptionally clear, transparent, and un-disturbed.  This is readily apparent with the cropped aeroplane flying at over five miles up, where the engines and red markings on the tail are quite clear. The pictures are taken using [...]

Remove Referrals Information from This Website because of Malware Like many blogs, this website has displayed the last few hits (referrals) that it’s received as a kind of ‘live’ activity recorder and a small service back to the referring website.  However, I’ve had to pull this from my front page because over the last few [...]

Introduction This is a quick test to see if the Windows 7 Live Writer facility works.  There are a host of formatting options, so let’s see what it’s like? The picture is of Blyth Power Station chimneys when they were knocked down. The significance to myself is that it’s where my father was a Charge [...]

Introduction I knew there was something really, really dodgy about that MyBookFace.net crap highlighted in this post the other day. Not only are they connected to some serious malware (as detailed in the posting), but they’ve an interesting line in popups!!! Google Treasure Chest Rises Yet Again! Here’s what to do… Go to http://mybookface.net making [...]

WordPress Upgrade Error I had messages from one of my managed sites that it went invisible and chucked out weird messages….  Well  that’s certainly up to the normal standard of feedback I get as a tech person! However, I too when doing this website got an annoying message on the recently introduced WordPress auto-update feature [...]

Butterflies and Convolvulus (and George the Dog) Just a few shots taken today using my Panasonic Lumix TZ5 with a mix of flash, action and automatic settings.

Introduction Many years ago when I was living in France and during a prolonged period of French atomic weapon testing on the Moruroa atoll, the Greenpeace ship, Rainbow Warrior, was blown up in a New Zealand harbour. Initially, it was thought to be an accident. Now, as soon as this happened, I thought “who has [...]

Sink or Swim The odious Griffen has spoken. Despite hating the EU to which he hypocritically got elected to it’s parliament with the intention of bringing it down, he now is in favour of any authoritarian measure to help close our borders – the latest being to sink poor immigrants in their boats and chuck [...]

The King is Dead, Long Live the King! I’m not taking this up as actually, I want $944 per day! The original Google Treasure Chest was wound up some time ago, and it’s owners are now on multiple charges filed by the US’s FTC.  Fortunately, I took the “opportunity” to sign up for “money-making schemes”, [...]

I moved this website over to Site5 hosting last night.  Mostly, it went okay! I’ve spent the last few days copying the various media, plugins, themes and WordPress code files, and then last night I set the Nameserver pointers and waited for the propogation to start.  As far as I can tell, it’s working in [...]

Introduction So it’s time to move… It’s time to get down with it… It’s time to testify.. …and I want to know… ARE YOU READY TO TESTIFY? Brothers and sisters… I give you.. A testimonial… The MC5! With a vague resemblance to my personal life and status, and a bit like “technology mirroring life”, this [...]
