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

‘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'

File Optimisation
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
"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?

Adventures in Ubuntu
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

Adventures in Ubuntu
Day 2After using Sametime 7.5 and the Lotus Notes Web client, i decided to investigate WINE, this is an open source Binary compatability layer for linux that allows certain Windows programmes to be run natively in Linux, so as you can see, here's the proper Lotus notes client running on Ubuntu. Its all good!!

Adventures in Ubuntu
Adventures in Ubuntu.Right i've decided to go Open Source, My IBM T42 is now dual boot and i'm running Windows XP (or rather i aim not too) and Ubuntu. So far Ubuntu is a doddle to install, nice friendly GUI, easier than Windows. I've decided to run this experiment for a month to see if i can do my job in the EIC without using Windows. I'm going to doc the trials and tribulations here. So far so good though, my machine now boots and turns on in seconds rather than minutes :) the main reason i'm attempting this is that i now have Corporate messaging systems in place that mean i don't have to rely on Microsoft. I've installed the Lotus samtime linux client and i'm using the web based Notes client. Linux HAVE released a notes client plugin but i'll doc that install later :)

It's been proved: Testosterone linked to driving ability....
Studies looking at finger length ratio have suggested that, in men a long ring finger and symmetrical hands are an indication of fertility, and that women are more likely to be fertile if they have a longer index finger.
My ring finger is approximately 10 cm longer than my index finger and my hands are perfectly symmetrical... only ladies with short ring fingers need apply!

Apparently all of that dark fibre may one day be lit up and laid! At last Lewis may get his broadband access... but it's not all good news...
Mr Beal hinted, however, that the cheap broadband telephony deals available at the moment may not continue.
"The charging model of today may not be realistic in five years time," he said.
