dot.com bubble burst

The BBC has posted a really interesting article predicting the possible decline in Web 2.0 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/

Britney Spears

She's making a comeback, hoorah - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7618196.stm


Don't you just love her

Gym

Well I've decided to do it, I'm joining another gym.

This one has everything I'm after. It's cheap, it's cheap, it's non-subscription, it's cheap, and I think it's got Gym equipment. I'm popping along at lunch time!

That's the other thing, it's so very close to work I'm hoping to be able to fit in a work out during my lunch breaks, possibly even before work once in awhile. How great would that be?




And here's my target :-)

Post-weekend blues

I miss Ibiza so much this morning; the sun, the chilled out atmosphere - why is it no one has been able to recapture that in this country? Bristol isn't exactly a small city yet most of the clubs are god-awful!

Perhaps that's the point of places like Ibiza, even at it's most commercial the overall experience is hard to recapture.

Chrome


In Google's bid for ahem world domination they've released Chrome. http://www.google.com/chrome

It's a new browser. I've had a little play with it and it seems pretty basic at this point; lots of IE features I would like to see like a links bar. (If this feature exists I don't intuitively know how to switch it on). The search/address bar is really good (it's linked to google and is all in one solution).

It'll be awhile I'm sure before it becomes widely used enough to warrant adoption in our QA testing but it's interesting to see the birth of a new Browser and certainly worth everyone having a look.

Internet Explorer 8 is also on it's way, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/beta/default.aspx but I've not been able to get it working yet. It'll be a good day when that launches :-)
