Toys for Rod and Tod
These action figures would surely be ideal for Rod and Tod (The Simpsons ones). One of my favourites has to be this one:
Leyton Orient 1-1 West Ham
Orient had the chance to test themselves against Premiership opposition in the form of a pre-season friendly against West Ham. The result was an excellent 1-1 draw with superb goals scored by Dean Ashton and Andy Boyd. Orient actually played pretty well too and gave us something to hope for for the new season. There …
Capital to Coast cycle ride
Well, I’ve survived my second Capital to Coast charity cycle ride. Not only did the London to Hove cycle ride seem further this year, it actually was as we were diverted an extra couple of miles due to an accident. Last year’s ride was in sunshine all the way, and this year the weather held …
Sponsored cycle ride to Hove
I’m cycling 60 miles to Hove on Sunday to raise money for Norwood Children’s and Families Trust, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Downs Syndrome Association. If you could sponsor me there’s a form here: http://www.justgiving.com/puntourists2007. You can read about last year’s event here. Sponsor the puntourists
Lockwood moves to Nottingham Forest
One of Leyton Orient’s best players, Matthew Lockwood, is to join Nottingham Forest. This is quite a big deal for the O’s and Lockwood was one of the best players over the past two seasons. It’s not entirely a surprise and I can only assume that Orient were paid a good price for him. No-one …
Fixing incorrect awgina.dll version remotely
I’ve recently installed PCAnywhere and, getting home, tried to remote desktop to my PC. Except I couldn’t because apparently I had an “incompatible version of awgina.dll”. I should also contact my network adminstrator for the latest version because obviously whoever that is is bound to have different versions just left around the place. Anyway, Googling …
I’m no fashion designer but…
Is it me, or are these pieces of ‘high fashion’ taking the piss just a bit? BBC NEWS | In Pictures | In pictures: Paris menswear show
Accessing Experts Exchange without paying
It seems that Experts Exchange is now making people pay for accessing content generated by their users. I’m sure it was inevitable but it’s very underhand to build up a free knowledge base and then make people pay for what will often be content they’ve contributed to. It’s even more underhand that they have to …
The LSE is dissing our chavs
Most of the persistent low achievers in England’s schools are poor and white, and far more are boys than girls, a Joseph Rowntree Foundation study says. But surely persistance is an achievement in itself? BBC NEWS | Education | Low attainers ‘poor white boys’
‘Object reference not set to instance of an object’
The “Object reference not set to instance of an object” error in ASP.Net has to be one of the most annoying of all error messages giving, as it does, almost no clues as to what the error can be about. And yes, I know it’s easy to get more information, but it doesn’t really provide …
