Amazon has a feature called “The Page You Made”. I can’t link to it as it is unique to each person. Basically its a neat utility that tracks the books (or whatever) that you are looking at and then at the end of your search it will provide you with the list of books you looked at (like the history function) and also related books. Clever marketing in that it exposes you to other products, but should also be helpful in ensuring that you don’t lose that book that you were looking at 10 minutes ago! It looks like the page is valid for the existing session though – so if you close the web browser down you lose your history! Update This ability is available once you have logged in though. Look for the end of “Your Recent History”
On the XP machine at work it just prompted me to clean all unused desktop icons into a folder called Unused Desktop Shortcut icons…..now if only there was something available for windows 2000 to do the same thing…..anyone?
Want to email me?
The UK 1901 Census is now online, although only from 9 to 7pm Mon-Sat!

Courtesy of Voidstar I now have an

Google search for RSS and ASP should give me the ability to create an rss file….
The ability to hide the comments has been removed for the moment whilst I check some other functionality to the webspace – sorry!
Just checked into my Sky subscription – didn’t realise that i was paying 16 quid for the movie channels on sky – most of which are repeats. Needless to say i’ll be cancelling the subscription to the movie channels tomorrow, just keeping the rest of the channels on the package. That will save me enough money to upgrade the dvdontap subscription to two dvd’s at once, which means I could be watching a dvd whilst the other is on the way back or to the company 🙂
For those of you who have been suckered into the sky subscription packages and want to see how much you could reduce your payment by changing the package deal, then go to the Sky Package page. (Took me ages to find it so hopefully this will help someone.
Well we watched the first dvd of 24 last night. Four hours later it was time for sleep. Cracking series. can’t wait for the next disk, which will get here on Saturday or Monday I reckon.
Signed up for the renewal of a domain last night with amen.me.uk (daft name) which are selling a domain for 3 pounds a year, and if you sign up now, they are offering 100mb hosting for free (normally £56 a year) for the first year – good deal! I’m now waiting for all the dns to update around the world. Also time to start learning php and mysql (as these are two more processes available with them)
My laptop takes about 10 minutes to log onto the lan now that it has Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 installed on it. If it’s not on the lan, then I get in within a minute. Annoying to say the least. However, the OS does now recognise the mobile phone via the infra red port!
