“The Duke” in Clerkenwell is hidden away down a back street (Roger Street) just off Theobalds Road and Grays Inn Road, London. Although the pub comes across as a ‘local boozer’, it’s clear from the thought that’s been put into the decor that it’s not intended for a purely local audience. The beer selection is …
I’ve ridden a few bikes over the past couple of years including a Yamaha Fazer 600, a Honda CB 500 and a CBR 600 (a few times now). I was really looking forward to trying out the VFR as I thought it would offer a similar ride to the CBR 600 but with some extra …

The object-oriented features of PHP 5 are a really positive step forward for the language. One of the biggest improvements, to my mind, is that you no longer have to choose to pass things around by reference with a liberal smattering of ‘&’ symbols: references are now the default way of passing objects.

Instructions for connecting the Sony Clie UX50 to the internet via GPRS through a Nokia 6600’s infra red port. I’m on the Orange phone network so some of the settings may be specific to this. I also assume your phone already works with internet/GPRS by itself and has a connection called ‘orangeinternet’ set up (which …
The 5k web page competition looks like it might finally be getting going again. News about it is here: Siggraph’s 5k competition. However, I’m somewhat confused as the closing date in the right hand side column is set at July 14th 2004, yet the application form has July 14th 2005. Does anyone have any ideas …
I’ve been spending quite a lot of time trying to get internet access from my Sony Clie through a Nokia 6600 mobile phone’s bluetooth connection and have had some minor success but still not been able to get it to work completely. A major break through came with getting infra-red access (taking a step back …
