AllYearbooks.co.uk Relaunches! - Monday 8th May 2006
After an awful lot of time (and money spent previously), I’ve finally launched my pet project, AllYearbooks.co.uk. Check it out if you want a school yearbook or university yearbook. Using a web-based system you can create online, paperback and softback books.
Building Collapse! - Tuesday 11th April 2006
A house just round the corner from me had its whole front collapse this morning. There were cracks early on but now the whole front has gone and there’s a bed hanging out! See my pictures here.
The road was Ridley Road, where I used to live. I’ve put a map online and there’s a great picture here.
It seems as though the BBC liked my photo enough to put it up on their coverage of this story… yes, that’s my photo taken from my Gran’s back bedroom window on their page!

US Election Ohio Recount - Thursday 23rd December 2004
For the last nine days, they’ve been recounting the votes in Ohio for the 2004 election. Very few people know this because its been reported so little by mainstream media.
The recount is being conducted by a joint force between the US Green Party and Libertarian party. Many, many details from recount observers on the Vote Cobb (Green Party) website.
Meanwhile, the best place I’ve found to find out about efforts to catalogue voter irregularities is a discussion board at Blackboxvoting.org.
Without a doubt in my mind, George W Bush stole the election again. But also, had I voted in the US election, I would have voted Green. The Democrat-Republican duopoly is not a democracy.

Internet Explorer vs. Mozilla Firefox: Google Zeitgeist - Thursday 15th July 2004
I’ve now been using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer for several months and highly recommend it to everyone. It blocks popups, is extremely quick, and better for security (less likely to get hacked, virii etc.). I’ve installed Firefox on most of my friends’ and family’s computers but have been watching Google’s Zeitgeist frequently to see when it starts making a big impact on their graph of browsers used to access Google. Today, Google have posted a new monthly Zeitgeist which includes the browser graph I was looking for - for June 2004, Internet explorer using has dropped with “Netscape 5.x+ (incl. Mozilla)” claiming an increase. Unfortunately, the graph that shows this is very small and does not give a high level of accuracy, and nor does it explain what percentgage of the “Netscape 5.x+ (incl. Mozilla)” are Mozilla Firefox and the other browsers, but this is a very significant finding all the same. My prediction is that this new trend will increase over the coming months, particularly with a 1.0 release of Firefox scheduled in a couple of months time. By this time next year, Mozilla Firefox use will have increased to around 30%, and PC vendors will begin to bundle it with new machines.
