Yes, my teddy bear is still missing, and being forced to travel around with the TeddyNappers against his will.
His return is promised shortly. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Very cool - sketch something, pick colours and this experimental tool will return you all the photos from flickr which it thinks match your entry. Very interesting results - clever stuff.
I like Flickr 
Lots of people all over the globe having fun with it!

Vaporising a CPU. And melting a hole through your desk. Overclocked CPUs would require adequate heat removal!
Tool Assisted Console Game Movies

People using emulators to complete old school computer console games in the fastest times - and the videos to watch them all!

Pretty cool - but one for the geeks in the crowd
Bush Joke
January 9th, 2006 — humour
Donald Rumsfeld says to George Bush, “Sir, I’m sorry to have to report that we’ve lost 3 Brazilian soldiers in Iraq”.
“That’s sad new Don” Says Bush. “So, how many IS a ‘brazilian’ exactly?”
Oh yeah … Happy New Year and all that jazz ..

Yeah, well, seems a bit pointless now, but all the best in 2006 folks.
I’ll whack up the resolutions eventually (so much for less procrastination … and for more work@work for that matter, oh well …)
At least I seem to be blogging more (or at least continuing) in 2006. Here’s hoping it continues.
What happened? Everything changed!

Yes. It did.
Behold the mighty WordPress! Blogger no more, I’m now rolling my own Blog using WordPress on a funky new Linux hosting platform over at Dreamhost
My 1&1 subscription was coming up for renewal, and rather than spend £140 over the course of the year to be on ASP.Net servers that I really wasn’t using for anything more than static content, I decided to have a look around and see what I could find. What really swung it for Dreamhost, aside from being listed as a hosting provider on WordPress, was the fact that in addition to the decent package offering (including unlimited domain management, 20GB disk storage etc.), I found a discount code online to apply a $97 discount to the cost of hosting for a year, so it only actually cost me $22! (£12). Result!!
Not found anything I can’t do with the Control Panel yet, transition across was smooth. WordPress 2.0, recently released, offers a very simple straight forward way of migrating your blogger blog. Highly worthwhile.
So, time to play with Linux, PHP5 and MySQL (unlimited mySQL databases - hoorah!). Always good to have some open source strings to my bow. Ruby On Rails is powering lots of the Web 2.0 Hype, so is prob worth playing with too.
Ed and the Mechanical Bull

Christmas Party was Cowboy themed. A mechanical bull was present. Need I say more …
Hmmm … need to blog important life events …
December 21st, 2005 — Uncategorized
Yes. Missing stuff:
1.) Wedding
2.) Honeymoon Part II
.. sure there’s lots, but as it stands, I’ve not blogged arguably the most important event of my life thus far. Crap eh? Yes.
Last day at work today - I solemly swear to update my recollections of said events on the blog over the course of the next week. Christmas shopping first. Then blogging.
