I’m the first to download a version of BubbleBobble – I loved that game! Thanks GnomeDownloads!
In a round up of the news from The Register this morning, Nominet have backed down and now won’t include personal details for owners of new (and renewing) .uk domains. This should provide us with some privacy. Businesses will have to provide details though!
BT have lost their idiotic claim that they patented hyperlinks and therefore they wanted royalties. Thankfully a judge has seen sense and thrown out the claim which means that we wont have to give yet more of our money to BT
Microsoft have brought out yet another humungous patch for ie that aims to include all previous patches. Check and download if you are not up to date!

Thought I might put GreyMatter on my website, but after a quick googlesearch for GreyMatter, there is a big security hole. Sure enough, within 2 minutes I’d found at least one website with the password and username available (and the password was an easily guessed word when looking at the “about me” page!!!

Hmmm – the spyonit.com website has closed down – its meant to be temporary, but i’m not convinced….Guess I’ll have to look for an alternative.At the moment I’m using Webmon, but this doesn’t provide you with a web interface accessible from any computer, with reporting via email 🙁
In the states there is something called NetFlix where you subscribe and get unlimited dvd’s for a fixed monthly fee via the post. I’ve been looking for something similar in the uk, and there is a company called DVD’s On Tap which does the same thing. Needless to say I’ll be signing up to see if its any good. (7.50) per month doesn’t seem to bad (thats about 3 rentals!)
Norton’s Antivirus 2003 will be available on the 1st September according to InfoWorld
Had a brainwave today. My Outlook uses offline folders so I know what my calendar (and email) is like when I am away from the office. However, there does not seem to be a way to make someone elses calendar available whilst offline……HOWEVER, if you can access their calendar using Outlook Web Access (OWA) then you can bookmark the url for their current months calendar and then set it to be synchronised whilst offline. Then whilst not connected to the net you will have access to their calendar.
With me so far?
The main problem is that it is not obvious to work out how to set the calendar view so it shows you a whole month and not just today. For example http://exchangeserver/user/calendar will only give you the daily view.
If you append ?Cmd=contents&View=monthly to the url, then you get the month view…
http://server/user/calendar/?Cmd=contents&View=monthly will then work.
This was all thanks to the (eventually tracked down) Google Groups Post
Hope this helps you!

Stingy busdriver charges a boy 10 pence to allow his hamster on the bus
. Seems crazy. The company doesn’t get anything out of it apart from loads of bad publicity (and 10 pence!)
