Checking through my Google search engine referrals, it appears that I am getting quite a few hits for the phrase ‘Presents For Nick’. I’m not entirely sure why, except last year I mentioned what I had bought my brother for his birthday - Mixed Drinks accessories.
Nick has become quite the budding barman in terms of [...]

Presents For Nick
Northern Ireland - Good News
No, I am not referring to the obvious here (the situation is now stable enough there for the army to change their role in the community, allowing the police to handle all but the most severe of situations by themselves), but instead the fact that Northern Ireland will soon have its very own localized version [...]
Phone Accessories
I will be making a post on some of the applications I have found and installed for my smartphone and PDA later, however, if you own a Motorola v3, then check the link out. Accessory Geeks stock a wide range of accessories, with almost any need already covered. Whether you need a spare charger for [...]
20hrs Of Slow Net Left
So, it turns out our ADSL connection is not quite as unlimited as originally claimed. Once you have downloaded 3Gb in any given month, your speed is then restricted to 64Kbit downloads, and it looks like 32Kbit uploads. On the plus side, it turns out it does not cost anything extra to go up to [...]
Possible Perks?
(USA Relevant)
How many sites have you come across that place reviews of companies online, to ensure consumers get the most professional service possible for their next purchase? They are a good idea certainly, however ePERKS.com have taken the concept to the next level… Not only can you research the company or individual most suited to [...]
One For Alex
Alex has been a little in the real world recently, so her blog (Dryad Musings) is a little lacking in recent posts, but perhaps this will spur her on? Anyway, next year, her and her brother are hoping to go on a survival experience, and so when I read about an American survival TV show [...]
Pool Tables
When ever we go to a friend of Irina’s parents, we always have a great meal, then the men go downstairs to the den, and drink some more, smoke and play pool. One of the great things about pool tables is that no language is required to use it - pick the pool cue up, [...]
Cosmetic Industry Caught Stretching The Truth
If you remember from my previous post on just what can be achieved with Photoshop when using photos of models, the results can be quite impressive. However, the Jezebel site has recently published the ‘before’ photo from Faith Hill’s recent Red Book cover shoot. I have included the photo below, but if you would like [...]
More Info, Less Time Needed
Whether fashion is your life, or simply an interest that dominates your spare time, a free online radio station that has a focus on style and fashion, may be of interest to you. The Belisi radio by Peter Belisi knows what you love to hear about, and makes sure that you can catch up with [...]
Are We Nearly There Yet?
(I am not sure if this is a phrase used globally by children on a trip somewhere, but I am sure you get the idea…)
So, has anyone seen new PRs appearing amongst Google’s Data Centres yet? I am hoping this blog will stay at a PageRank of 4, wishing a 5 would arrive, and dreaming [...]
Wet Sleep
Have you ever tried a water bed? No? Me neither, however, if you pop along to the Mediflow Website, you can read about a further development in this sector - a water PILLOW!
The idea is that as each person is different, both in terms of their body shape, and the position they sleep in, any [...]
iPAQ Issues
I previously mentioned that a trip to Amsterdam has been planned, so I have been loading up my PDA with useful software.
Or rather I tried to. Unfortunately, it has a dodgy internal connection (or eleven or twelve); the control pad does not work, and the ability to sync is also an issue.
The first problem I [...]
Web Based Training
One of the problems with traditional courses is that it can take employees away from the ‘coal face’, and so productivity will obviously take a dip. Although people may well enjoy a trip away, with meals paid for by work, there is a better solution in most cases - web based training tools can ensure [...]
Trip Planned
Unfortunately, ChrisD is not able to make it over to Kazakhstan this year. On the plus side, I am meeting him in Amsterdam for a few days of relaxation, and then travelling onto Britain to see family and friends. (My brother’s birthday is something I was hoping to get back to the UK for, and [...]
eCouponCodes
Many net savvy consumers will search for coupon codes before making any purchase online. The savings obviously vary from one store to another, as well as on the actual total price of your shopping list. Obviously if the voucher is for 5% deducted from the total purchase, then a $300 total will attract a greater [...]
