Went to see Signs tonight – most boring film i’ve seen in a long time – actually fell asleep during it. The only interesting bit was the last twenty minutes or so. Kristen thought it was excellent so don’t just go by my opinion 🙂

Congratulations to Tim and Ruth who have just won a PS2 each – how lucky is that?

Thanks to Mark I have discovered AceFTP as an ftp client. It works on my lan out to the internet (which some companies such as fasthosts didn’t like leechftp) and one cool feature is that you can see the history of your ftp download speed!

There is now a long awaited utility that checks to see if Lavasoft’s Ad-aware signature file has been updated, and if so it downloads it. For those who are not aware, this utility checks to see if there are any spyware (software that reports on your surfing habits etc) installed on your computer.

Finally – I’ve worked out what is wrong with Kelly’s website in that it keeps making adobe acrobat launch in the background. She has a counter at the bottom of the page and that is what is loading acrobat for some reason……It is the bit which loads the graphic up (the javascript) that does it although I don’t know why – all I know is that the counter does not load on the screen. Incidentally it also occurs when I visit the counters homepage.

Spent the best part of a couple of hours messing around with the comments. I can either give people the choice to allow comments or not, but no search facility – OR I can have search facilities but no comment switching (at least in the archives – it works on the main page for some reason at the moment….but I think that may be ie caching the main page.

Assuming the website stays up, Virgin are taking part in the opportunity to download from 10000 mp3 free on the third oct, but you need to register on the 2nd.

My wife got an SMS message on her mobile last night to say that as a loyal vodaphone customer she had won 400 pounds. The first message just gives a phone number (premium rate) to ring to claim. The second sms gives details of who is running it. Checking their website at http://www.4tc.biz its just a con to get your name and address and you get some travel vouchers for Airtours etc. So it is too good to be true. For the benefit of googlers, then the phone number was 09061744130

Just caught up on my lockergnome emails and I made it into their GnomeReport for the 25.9.02! They must have been busy as I sent it on the third September!

Sometime overnight our Caller ID and callsign were switched on. The daft thing is that they said it would be available today and to ring back to get the callsign number today. But they neglected to tell me that the department which would tell me my call sign number is not actually open on a Saturday. Fortunately I realised and checked yesterday in case they could tell me. There is not a lot of difference between the call sign rings to tell, the second number has one long burst rather than a brrr brrr thing.
