Wii

Friday, April 28th, 2006

So, Nintendo have announced the name of the Revolution - the oddly named Nintendo Wii. Already the internet has gone into overdrive - forums and photo-shoppers in particular - and there has been much out cry at the name. But I don't think that it's as bad as everyone says ...

And you thought I was mad?

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Over the years, I've had various comments questioning my mentality due to all the crazy stuff I do. For example, the other week, Sir Robert Bannister told my parents that he thought I was mad for sailing across the North Sea in April. But if I'm mad, then Karl Bushby must ...

Firefox not going places after all

Monday, April 24th, 2006

So it turns out that Places is going to be removed from Firefox 2 and left until Firefox 3. Whilst it'll be a shame to see it go as it was looking promising, the reasoning is sound and, to paraphrase a certain Japanese genius, "A delayed game feature is eventually ...

It has ASCII Cows. Need I say more?

Earth to James

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

Just a quick post to apologise for the lack of blogging recently. I've been using every spare moment to work on a project that I'm currently doing. I'm also "revising" for my AS exams that start in a month. Allegedly revising anyway. But when I'm not doing any of that, I've ...

Dutch Cruise 2006

Monday, April 10th, 2006

This is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to write. Summing up an amazing week into something short enough for people to read is a tough task, but I'll give it a go! Firstly, a bit of background on the trip. I booked on because I needed something ...

Ahoy there me hearties!

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

Tomorrow I'm off sailing for a week as part of my Gold DoE residential. The plan is to go to Holland, but I'm told that it's all very much down to which way the wind is blowing and stuff. There are 12 people going I think - none of which ...

Sudden Deaths

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

Whilst looking for a funny way to kill someone deal with a problem I have, I came across Sudden Death. The tag line on the website is Funny Rap The Way It Was Meant To Be. And after listening to a few of the songs on the Listen page, I ...

Climbing the Rankings

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

Wow, when I started this blog I never really saw it as being particularly popular. It was just somewhere for me to write down anything I was thinking about or doing - and then if anyone was interested in it, so much the better. But after having a look through the ...

Driving Theory Test… Check!

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

I took my Driving Theory Test this morning and passed easily. I got 33 out of 35 on the multiple choice section, and 57 out of 75 on the Hazard Perception (30 and 44 being the pass marks respectively). I was quite nervous about the Hazard Perception, as I hadn't ...
