The world's greatest philanthropist and not very angry fella has put together his selective evidence to prove that God doesn't exist. Well done Dawkers!I see that he has a go at both the Old and New Testaments. What a man! What a brave, individualistic and thoroughly bold human being. I'm sure that his choice of material had nothing to do with not wanting to really consider anything beyond two

I've been reading a forum dedicated to the negative exposure of one of the internet's least pleasant people and on there is someone called TankerRX.Also on that forum is someone called Jason Dunn, someone with whom I have had a number of altercations in my more immature days, altercations which were pretty much my fault. During those unfortunate and childish days, I went by the name of

I can barely hear the sound of the headlit traffic over the sound of the fan in the old food joint and the bright white artificial light affords me a measure of day and a dark reflection as I look out onto the street.Songs which try and recover a distant memory make their way from an old transistor radio and the sighs of a pretty but worn out girl, sweating behind the food bar tells me that I

I've been using Googlemail for some time now and I think I'm right in saying that the anti-spam facility it offers isn't exceedingly bright.Sure, it does block some spam and, some days, quite a lot, but I often find myself having to 'Mark as Spam' e-mails in Russian and some other strange scripts which I have no chance of understanding.I'd be grateful if Google could find the time to add a

It's been quite some time, but I've decided to move back into this blog. I thought about starting an entirely new one, but then I figured that I'd may as well use this one since it's all set up and ready to use.I currently have a blog on a .mac account, but I think I'll use that more for essays and reviews while I keep this for little thoughts, mainly while I'm out abd about and posted from my

While I'm by no stretch of the imagination a 'professional blogger' (whatever that is), I think I've outgrown the use of Blogger (or maybe it's just that Blogger's recent problems have shown that it has undergrown me?)So, I've moved my blog. Unfortunately, Blogger won't let me export this blog (I've followed the instructions given to me by the new blog host) but Blogger keeps crashing.Please, if

I finally got around to moving the message store of my e-mail on my Nokia6260.Most Nokia Series60 Smartphones allow you to move your messages from internal memory to the Memory Card. For some reason, however, Nokia decided to not include this feature on the 6260.Anyway, I read this thread on AllAboutSymbian and gave it a try.This is what I did to transfer all my messages to the Memory Card

Cosmopolitan magazine asked the three main UK party leaders if they had any opinions on abortion. Michael Howard said that he wants to see change in the law in order to cut back on the number of abortions.After this, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor said that he backs Michael Howard's view and that New Labour shouldn't take for granted that it has the vote of working class Catholics.Tony Blair has

My folks have got digital cameras - well, my mum uses a digital camera but my dad uses the digital camera features of his digital camcorder. Both, however, use FinePix and in both cases, FinePix is a piece of pants. It leaves my parents high-and-dry when it hangs on the trasnfer of a video, refuses to remove images from the memory card and refuses to print pictures because they're "too small"

An interesting article on the BBC Online news page highlights the abuse of End User License Agreements which are used by software manufacturers to hide and abuse their users' rights. Says the article,"For instance, if your car was sold to you under similar terms you would not be able to talk about its poor mileage down the pub with your mates, and would have to get the permission of the car maker

Once upon a time, I had a Commodore64. On that computer, I had a GUI called GEOS which was in every sense of the word, Windows for a Commodore64. It had co-operative Multitasking and application support.Within that Operating Environment was a word processor which had support for fonts, inline images, spell checking, alignment and other functions which you would expect in a wordprocessor, even

Steven, my nephew, was dedicated yesterday on Sunday 13th March, 2005 at the Newport Gateway Church, the Apostolic Church in Newport South Wales.It was a great service with some top nosh after. My sister and her husband did a grand job of organising everything.But what, I hear you ask, is a dedication?The best way to describe a dedication service is to put it in the context of a Christening and

The climate in the United Kingdom is set for permanent change because from now on, nobody is safe from the powers which the government has gained.Anybody in the UK who is suspected of terrorism can be locked up. There is no need for any evidence, just a hunch. A hunch based on racism, religous bigotry, sexual bigotry or even a grudge would be as effective as a photo of a person caught in the act.

If you've been following recent posts, you'll know that I've been looking for a simple but nice MP3 player for my Smartphone. I tried MP3 Gravity, UltraMP3 and MP3 Player.MP3 Gravity just wouldn't play anything and the support e-mail address returned unknown and UltraMP3, while extremely configurable and full of options was just too complicated for what I wanted (I'm a simple soul), so I was left

I've been looking at a Photo Gallery on Outpost Gallifrey (the most popular Doctor Who website in the world, apparently). While I've long known that BBC Wales has been given the task of producing the new series, I didn't think about how many of the locations would look so familiar!So, this will be interesting. Will it spoil it for me because I recognise the locations or will it make it even

There are a few interesting things to note regarding Tony Blair's rushing through of his bill to curb terrorism...The bill was passed by the commons, so Michael Howard's opposition makes no difference to the bill.If no Tories or Liberals had voted in the Lords, the bill would still fail, so Tony Blair can't blame the Conservatives.Somethinbg like this has been done by the British government

I thought it would be a good idea to provide a single page with links to all my reviews. I'll then put a link to this page on the sidebar. Until I can move to a blog that allows categories, this is the next best option (I think). So, here's the list...Reviews12/04/2005 MP3 Player (Series60)10/04/2005 Power Dictaphone (Series60)02/04/2005 SplashPhoto (Series60)17/02/2005 Camcorder Pro (Series60)12

And so MP3 Gravity misses the mark. It refuses to play any MP3 files and when I contacted their support via e-mail, I got a message back saying that the address didn't exist.I think it's important to let developers know that if they can't be trusted to organise their own e-mail address, then they can't be trusted with my phone.Simple really.Anyway, I've tried to contact Viking Games because that

I've started to sniff around to see about leaving Blogger. The downtime and hassles of not being able to post because of web pages not being able to load (or taking as much as ten minutes) are beginning to get the better of me.I don't know how I can transfer my Blogger posts to a new blog though, so this may take a while...Ho hum!

I've been looking for a dictaphone application which I can use on my Smartphone. My main reason is nothing so vain as to think that I have ideas of my own to capture, but it would be ideal for interesting sermons or speaches or presentations which I could review at a later date.I tried a solution from PsiLoc+ (which would have cost me $12.50), but it didn't seem to be fully compatible with my

It's happened again, I'm using an application which Microsoft doesn't like because Microsoft has an equivalent which it would prefer I use.

I'm hearing the Prime Minister defend his policy of not including a sunset clause in his anti-freedom (surely, you mean anti-terrorism? - ED) bill by saying that he is simply following the advice of the police who have told him that what he's doing is right.So he trusts their advice does he? So why doesn't he trust their advice on other issues, such as the all-night-opening for nightclubs and

Standing at the innermost end of the harbour he looked, probing, through the New Year fog that had descended. He had to pinch himself to remind him that it was March, but the fog was thick and full of the presence of darkness, just like it was the times before, a time and a person to be forgot...He even remembered what he was wearing in those days; His penchant for long black coats and big boots
