RE: Linksys WVC54G wireless camera, btinternet SMTP and gmail

I have a similar problem and I got tired of fighting with it. Most of these cameras also will send a screen shot to an ftp server so I wrote a vbscript that polls the server and then sends an email using my workplace smtp server. Obviously, you need ...

Who is Russell Brand?

Lordy, could Russell Brand have done anything better to raise his profile than that phone call to Andrew Sachs? Mostly it's probably the Hate Mail on Sunday that's to blame. When the original Russell Brand show went out, no-one was listening. It's on...

PHP 4 to 5 migration

Bit of an all encompassing thing this, I use PHP for work and for home, I've pretty much abandoned perl since I joined Holiday Extras a year and a half ago. PHP4, widely used everywhere, (including on this blog) is about to die. It's been on it's way...

Had a quiet night in last night, while Clare was out down Chambers with her bro, putting the world to rights. So, did some coding that I'd meant to do for ages, and put a new "new" feature on the popbitch board; posts that are new since your last vis...

Boo, pissed off

Just had our viewing of the house we were going to see tomorrow cancelled, the vendors have received a full asking price offer yesterday. We hadn't seen this house yet (apart from online), it was right on the street with no real garden to speak of, a...

Spoof stories

Noticed a lot more people recently turning up here having looked for spoof stories or spoof story, mostly as a result of this spoof story about Dickens World. Wonder if it's just coincidence that people are trawling for spoof stories around the time ...

Weather report part two

Ferocious rain woke us both up in the night, a proper downpour again. Clare got the fear that the weather might have resulted in our pilot light going out (it happened before), which would mean waking up to cold showers, so I got up to check on it. W...

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

RE: Rugby, RESULT

You need a PVR. I have been watching Saturday Kitchen on days that are not Saturday for a long time now, could not live without my Freeview PVR!

RE: Rugby, RESULT

Bloody Nigella! I watched her for the first time the other week and I too wanted to kick the TV in. That's not a cookery show, it's a show where a woman talks about how much she likes eating and then eats some stuff. Anyone can arrange pre-packed foo...
