G.ho.st: Cloud with a silver lining... - Telegraph

I've tried a few of these virtual desktops over the last year or so. This one is pretty good, very responsive and good disc size. The question i can't answer myself is do i want a consolidated desktop anymore? i'm not sure i do, my browser is my application toolset i think

Skip 12

2008-10-19T15:31:00.001Z

Well finally filled up Skip number 12 with the destroyed lean to, the shed and some god awful pagoda seating area thing that the previous old lady had in the garden. I am now officially knackered :)

‘Push’ is Like ‘Heroes,’ But With Way More Action | Film School Rejects | First Look

Just caught this trailer on film school rejects. Looks quite good certainly better than some of the tat thats been released over the last few months. I've never really taken to Chris Evans though. Dakota Fanning's grown up :)

This leads me on Time is different in Hollywood. There's some kind of spatial distortion that means child stars grow up quickly, apart from Corey Feldman who has withstood the ravages of time (and copius drug abuse) as seen in the shots below

Lost Boys - One of the all time greats and released yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs ago

Lost Boys 2 - The Tribe -annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd he doesn't look any different. The film though is shocking ;) Tv budget straight to dvd pap, wierdly though the head vampire is Kiefer Sutherland's half brother - the producers must've wanted to keep it real. I'm thinking that since the LARGE HADRON COLLIDER is out of action for the next 8 months or so then CERN could do a lot worse than to set up shop in LA and start to investigate 'Hollywood Time'

Odds and Sods for the world • The Register

If you fancy a laugh (and i frequently do) then this is one of my favourites. The headlines make me laugh never mind the ACTUAL stories. Genius some of this stuff. And of course it all has an IT flavour............................so really its nearly work related :)

Batman theme composer dies at 85 • The Register Everybody stand up and salute one of the all time greatest guys on the planet. This has to be up there with contributions to Mankind alongside Beethoven and Bach?? As a self confessed Batman fanatic (I still get all the titles monthly) this is sad news indeed

File Optimisation

2007-02-27T11:33:00.000Z

I like the look of I-Logik

File optimisation of jpegs, word docs, powerpoints and assorted other goodness, can be run on your networks or on your individual machines, compression can save up to 60% in file size. I think we could use this on our corporate portal, it also has plugins for Outlook express. Tres bon

Meebo widgets

2007-02-26T11:29:00.000Z

Well i have to say that the meebo widget has been a great success so far in providing expert help from our groups intranet site, however you gotta love this i got asked the following

"People have raised concerns that 'the meebo' could infect documents on the website with open source code"

I have pointed out that the widget is a Adobe Flash object and not 'Open Source' do we think that some general information sharing as to Open Source is required?

Answers on a postcard......................

2007-01-12T11:42:00.000Z

Well i've added a MeeboMe widget to the serviceofferings webpage as a means of proactively contacting users that visit our homepage. Will be an interesting experiment to also see how many people are actually looking at the site

Adventures in Ubuntu

2006-09-14T07:56:00.000Z

Well Day three has come and gone and i'm really enjoying the OS. Its smooth, quick, my laptop battery doesn't go down as quick. I'm most impressed by how easy the Open Office Suite is to use, i get emailed doc's and ppt's all the time to read and review and the interaction is seamless i can open, read, edit and save the documents and then send them all back using Microsoft's propietary formats. No one in CSC would know that they've been edited using Open Source software
