Cinema for the masses

I was looking into local Vue cinema times to see “Let Me In“, the US re-make of the fabulous Swedish “Let The Right One In” – sadly the remake has already been relegated to late Saturday evening as the only slot, and it’s only gone on release recently.   Even more sadly, the original didn’t even […]

First use of iPad

I had my first go on an iPad today as we're got one at work in the Talis Education team.  It's the top of the range 64Gb WiFi + 3G model and I've got the pleasure of having it at home for the evening. It's (obviously) a beautifully crafted and usable bit of kit, as […]

Updated Aspire list editor

It’s been a while since I made a blog post.  Today, however, there is something worth writing about. XIP-1324 went live today in Talis Aspire.  That code number won’t mean anything to most people but it’s indelibly imprinted into my brain and will be for the foreseeable future. Today’s release contained an updated version of […]

Great service from tsohost.co.uk

I’ve been on the tsohost.co.uk Pro hosting package for a couple of years now at home.  I used to be with DomainCity for several years but after service got worse, email was down regularly and a general lack of features it was time to move.  I posted to the Web Host Chat forum asking for […]

Kunisada – Courtesan Japanese Woodblock Prints

I made a bit of an impulse/treat purchase today and yesterday.  Now I just need to frame them and decorate the dining room to set them off nicely.  They are a set of 4 Kunisada woodblock prints of courtesans over 4 seasons: –

More IE7 CPU spiking

A while ago I wrote about an issue with CPU spiking in Internet Explorer 7, recently I encountered another instance of this that required a different fix. To recap, we have a rich-client drag-drop interface across two scrolling panes.  You can drag and drop within the main pane on the left (a nested list with […]

trueCall

Dragon's Den is always interesting to watch on TV but every so often there's a product on it that sparks your interest and makes you want to go out and buy it. Our first Dragon's Den purchase was a while ago now and was a Yakibox and the most recent one was a trueCall. Don't […]

Tesco Home Delivery fail us again

Since the Tesco online grocery delivery started, several years ago, we generally use them about once a month to buy certain bulky items so that we don't have to pick up as much when visiting the store.  Over the years though we have changed what we do order from them as, increasingly, their inability ro […]

Security? What security?!

We've just got back from a nice 5 day break in London, seeing a few places never visited before, doing loads of walking and exploring and eating at places we don't get to eat at back home. We had originally booked to stay around the corner from Paddington Station, in Sussex Gardens, just off the […]

Our ’88 Mini Designer in MiniWorld magazine

It’s been an interesting year so far for our old 1988 Mini ‘Designer’ Mary Quant limited edition.   A month or so ago we were asked to submit some photos to the Mini Designer Register site (currently ‘Mini of the month’ at bottom of front-page and several photos on other pages) and then the webmistress of […]
