Home Page Reader is not a good program to install on your pc. 1) The download software has expired. 2) It hijacks the start page of your browser to point to its internal documentation page 3) There is no uninstall icon in the start menu neither is there a single uninstall routine. There are homepage tutorials, the application and 7 language files – and I don’t know what else (each with their individual add/remove/are you sure routines! – ARGGGGH!
If you keep sending me virus’s by email, do yourself a favour and get hold of Norton Anti-Virus at £23 from amazon!
Somebody has turned Samuel Pepys’ diary into a weblog – cool idea!Thanks Journalised – my nearest blog!
Tut Tut Tut. The Hotpoint website will only allow you in if using internet explorer or netscape AND uses flash with no text alternative. However, when I get to the competition page it just keeps on reloading in ie 🙁
A snotty email has been sent saying they need to work on their website usability
Update Out of interest I am downloading the 31 day trial version of IBM’s WebPage Reader software that is commonly used by blind people to see how accessible the hotpoint site is, and also my own and works site. Will be interesting!MoreAfter waiting ages for the 28mb file to download – on broadband! the stupid software now reckons it has expired 🙁
I remembered reading a while ago on a blog somewhere about the Astronomy picture of the day that had been scraped into an RSS feed which means I can use it in Newzcrawler and get the daily picture. Problem was I couldn’t remember where I had seen it. Google later and I had found the article on the Shifted Librarians site.
I’ve been playing Ratchet and Clank which we got out from the library – its a bit like Crash Bandicoot, but the graphics are better. Still just as infuriatingly hard though! It has to go back on Wednesday, but if I get it from the its 10 pounds cheaper at 29.99 than anywhere else I’ve seen!
GameRankings looks like a good PlayStation2 site which ranks games that have been released. That way I can tell if the cheapo ps2 game I’m going to buy is pants or not. Seeing as though the new games are so expensive, its worthwhile. The annoying thing is that John Lewis were doing a good tenner or more off if you spent over 20quid, but the offer has expired 🙁
Did I mention that OHIO WON LAST NIGHT????????????????????????????? WOOOHOOOO!

Grrrr – the uk.shopsmart.com site has now closed. Shame as that was quite useful. In other news, Ohio State won their game last night which makes them record breakers (cue corny jazz music!) (link to Google News)
