The Monsters Inside

I just finished reading another Doctor Who book, I finished this one in only two days since I had no Xbox to play with. It was pretty good even though it involved one of the worst Doctor Who enemies ever, the Slitheen. It was actually a very clever storyline and introduced a new family from [...]

Atonement

I watched Atonement last night. I’ve had the book for some time now and I started to read it but it was kinda dull and I was more excited to read other books so I shelved it and was gonna go back to it once I saw the movie.
I never got around to seeing [...]

The Clockwise Man

I finished reading The Clockwise Man by Justin Richards last night. It’s the first Doctor Who novel chronologically but really they’re not actually in any sort of order since they don’t relate to the TV series storyline except in little references.
This one had actually a few really good twists and a very clever storyline that [...]

Consumer confidence

I was thinking in the bath, yes I do most of my thinking there it seems, and I realized that my 360 breaking isn’t a surprise. In fact I’d pretty much been waiting for it to break. So what does that say about the console? About Microsoft?
It seems the 360 and repair go hand in [...]

Quickorder app

Quickorder app would keep iPod touch owners hooked on Starbucks
I’m sorry but I think this would be a brilliant idea. You walk into Starbucks and use your iPod Touch/iPhone (of course it would eventually expand to cover everything from phones to laptops) to place your order. No human interaction necessary.
Brilliant.
I want them to install [...]

Amazon

Oopsie, someone broked Amazon.co.uk! Whenever I go to it just now, and I’ve tested it in Firefox and Safari so I know it’s not a browser thing, it forwards you to some ‘ad accelerator’ page. Basically you can’t go to Amazon because it always forwards you to this page. Amazon US seems to be working [...]

Red rings of death

The red ring of death is a term for when your Xbox 360 is basically broken and three of the four controller sync lights light up red. It is a terrible thing for any 360 owner to see as it basically means their 360 is broken and needs repairing.
Mine, however, seems to do it as [...]

Stupid Internet Flaw

Why is it that if you put no www at the start of a web address when you type it in to the location bar of your browser that it’ll do it fine, yet put in one or two w’s and it gets totally confused. Are there even websites that have one or two w’s? [...]

Payday!

Yay I got paid today, £156 made it’s way into my bank account. I think Nalin said I was gonna get about 32 hours which would’ve been about £176 so I don’t know if it actually turned out to be less or if I was taxed (gasp!) but I’ll find out once my payslip comes [...]
