Not sure if I have blogged this one previously. But the Man Who Fell Asleep never fails to enthrall me. If you are like me and are fascinated by other people’s conversations in public spaces then this will be right up your street.
Speaking of voyeurism, UK Big Brother is back for a seventh series on thursday. I am going to try really hard this year not to stoopp to that. He says.
I have not heard of anyone planning to blog from Germany’s largest exhibition of AT for blind people this year. Although I plan to keep a close ear on Blogsearch and Google News. You can at least click the link above for a list of exhibitor links.
Naturally lots of coverage on this. I quite like this piece from the Beeb which is a decent sumation of the game itself.
It was a rollercoaster for everyone. With eleven million viewers on BBC One, plus however many were watching in pubs up and down the country, England is warming up for the world cup.
My condolences to West Ham fans for their team’s defeat in Saturday’s cup final. If I am completely honest the Hammers were probably the stronger team over the 120 minutes. The 2005 European champions were definitely stretched and the first half an hour was probably Liverpool’s worst of the season.
As an England fan I know only too well it’s always gutting to loose on penalties. But at the start of the season who would have tipped West Ham to even be in the FA Cup final at all? And in this year’s FA Cup tournament, Liverpool were the best side. So while I reckon West Ham won the Psychological battle on Saturday, Liverpool have been made to work hard over the tournament as a whole against the likes of Man U and Chelsea to take their 7th FA Cup back to anfield.
Stevie G was undoubtedly the difference. And if Liverpool are going to ever win the Premiership then they need to stop pinning their hopes on one player.
I wonder how Trev Brooking is taking it? I’ve not heard him since the final. 🙂
What Microsoft do not want you to realise is that Windows 98 will continue to work and function normally beyond this date. It is highly likely that if you bought your hardware at the same time as Windows 98 then you probably will not be able to use Windows XP on your old 98 machine anyway.
but, if you have 98 running on an offline machine, and your just using it for playing classic games or wordprocessing, and it aint broke, then don’t try to fix it.
If you want to use the internet safely, and take advantage of modern applications, then check your hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility List for Windows XP before running out and buying it.
Who cares?
Although I may as well use this as an excuse to mention Rarsoft who make Winrar which does it for me.
A fantastically comprehensive piece about the AJAX challenge for screenreaders. Someone may want to tell the author that the screenreader from GW Micro is called Window-Eyes, not Windows-Eyes. 🙂
Anyone reading this blog for a while will know I have been looking forward to the arrival of the Nokia N91 4GB Smartphone MP3 player for around a year now. It’s finally appeared in the Orange shop, although with the following description and no mention of the 4GB microdrive.
“The Nokia N91 is your family photo lab in the palm of your hand.”
Apparently this really is the N91, but Orange’s marketing people just have not jumped on the killer features yet.
I use New Street quite a lot and generally do not have too many problems. Although in Feb I was once subjected to no less than 3 platform changes. Amazing I managed to get the train at all that day. Some kind of re-modeling of this part of the rail network is long over-due, although it’s not going to happen over night. The disruption in the mean time will likely be horrendous.
