Where do you want to go today?
I’ve seen this posted up in a few places now, including the Pocket GPS World website - Microsoft’s online mapping’s answer to "Where do you want to go today?"
Hello Spammer
Well, it seems the blog comment spammers have found me… however so far, I’ve kept them at bay - all the posts they’ve made have been from a single IP address (230.43.174.99) which has been blocked from commenting since the first posting they made. Also, the automatic content filters on comments (which pick up the kind of spam comments that include nothing but a list of links to gambling sites) are learning fast, and since it was told the first one was spam, it’s learned fast, and has identified all the others.
Slow Day
Well, things are a little slow here this morning - so here’s something to watch…
Nerd Score
Well, I took the on-line "nerd test" to find out if I really am a geek… Read more
Work Life and Blogging
Regular readers here have probably noticed that I don’t generally mention my work-life on here at all, and there’s a simple reason for that - I don’t want to end up like this shop worker or This flight attendent. Basically, on the rare occasions I do mention stuff related to office life - it’s always generalised.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry
Most people in the UK can’t have missed the furor caused by BBC2’s screening of “Jerry Springer, the Opera” - the hit west-end show. Over the last week or so, I’ve had several e mails from some of my old Christian contacts urging me to write to the BBC and OfCom to complain about this screening. I didn’t do this - for several reasons.
- I wasn’t able to watch the show, as I was enjoying a nice meal in a restaurant in Dublin.
- I wouldn’t be able to complain about the show’s content until after I’d seen it.
Now, I haven’t seen it, so won’t comment on the supposed blasphemy and inordinate number of swear words reported in the media

Dublin
A quick mention to a great weekend in Dublin - meeting old and new friends, seeing some sights, eating in a very nice restaurant - Oriental food, but the chef comes out to your table and cooks the food in front of you on a hot-plate set right into the top of the table. It’s highly entertaining and a lot of fun.
Of course, a visit to Dublin could never be complete without a visit to what is probably the worlds most famous brewery, Guiness!
The photos are coming soon (the flight back was very late last night - a 45 min flight which should have left Dublin at 1920 didn’t actually leave until 2200, so I’ve not had chance to download the camera yet)
Finally, thanks to Richard and Andrew for "playing hosts" and to George, Martin and Erica for the company!
Photos from the trip are now online in the gallery.
