I've been sooooo busy, I haven't had a chance to write or update anything on the blog, catch up with friends, etc...

The Reason: JPMorgan.

I'm currently completely redeveloping the CMS for the majority of the JPMorgan graduate recruitment sites (EMEA, Asia, India, South Africa, US Investment Banking and Asset Management, and the Global Portal). In addition several of the microsite go global this year, a list will be forthcoming.

Half Life 2 - Episode Two looks like a winner!

And so the hunted becomes the hunteder

CVG: "We've all been horribly misled about Episode Two. We ended Episode One steaming out of City 17 on a train as the Citadel exploded, but it crashed and we heard Alyx cry out. The next thing we saw was her dangling from a smashed bridge in the Episode Two trailer, then her limp body being carried by a Vortigaunt. And OK, the savvy among us probably realised she wasn't dead, but it was pretty clear she'd been badly hurt in the crash and would be out of action for most of the episode.Utterly untrue."

The Lord's Prayer, for Windows

My Collegue DT, in a moment of desperation, started praying to his machine in the hope that it would work properly.

Our Father, who art in Seattle,
Bill Gates be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Windows will be done,
On Mac as it is on PC
Give us this day our daily software patch.
And forgive us our viruses,
As we forgive those who spam against us.
And lead us not into Unix,
But deliver us from Linux.
For the internet is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
For ever and ever (well, for the next 5 years at least).
Amen

Various versions of this prayer exists, as Dave has prayed many many times.

DT said: i'd just like to point out that Dave is not religious in anyway, this prayer is a statement of optimism rather than faith..

[Tax] Proposed new road tax (Road Pricing)

In the news, the other night, I saw an article about the new e-petitions site, run by the Prime Minister's Office, and the the top petition on the website was one to scrap the proposed road pricing scheme where you install a tracking device on your vehicle and you are sent a bill each month based on your usage.

Today, I received the email below from a close friend, which reminded me to visit the site and express my objection.

I don't know how true the information is in the email, but I would like a chance to understand the implications and work out relative cost based on my family vehicle usage. But the deadline is the 20th of Feburary (six days time).

The petition is: More details

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Scrap the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy.

Proposed new car tax (Road pricing)

Radio 2 talked about the proposed Road Pricing car tax scheme on the radio.Apparently there is only one month left to register your objection to the 'Pay as you go' road tax. The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it. more signatures are required to stop them introducing it. Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.

The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it.The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non-working mother who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month.

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit in time you can probably expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your monthly bill.

If you care about our freedom and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website (link below) and pass this on to as many people as possible.

[Website] Who needs a Google PC?

I do?

And I don't mean a piece of new hardware kit that would probably cost a couple of hundred of pounds. I mean some method of accessing my online centralised information using nothing more than my phone, or a simple piece of existing hardware incorporating a browser. You don't need a harddrive or superior graphics card to write letters, emails, or to keep an appointments diary.

Google provide access to free tools like:

• Documents and Spreadsheets via Google Docs
• Appointments Diary via Google Calendar
• Email via Google Mail
• Notebook via Google Notebook
• Photo Management via Google Picasa
• Watch video programmes via Google Video
• and a whole host of other services.

One of the things missing is a Graphics Editor but Fauxto / splashup fill that need.
