Oblivion - a Champion shares his experiences (Part One)

The Oblivion posts on Menori.com have been quite popular so I thought I’d do a short series of posts gathering some of my experiences during nearly 200 hours of play and becoming the Champion of Cyrodiil. [Note I'm going to post this on Oblivion Blog too]
The candle flame flickered as Hadaster sat at his laboratory [...]

Fade: Solu Music… spot the difference

I don’t post much about music but this was priceless. I remember hearing this song a few years ago in Ibiza and Kimblee performed live at a Hed Kandi night at El Divino.
So what I saw was more akin to this: click here for YouTube Video
Ok.. so the Hed Kandi label, producer of some very [...]

1. Google, 2. Apple……, 36. Microsoft

ZDNet’s Web 2.0 Explorer covered Wired’s recent poll that put Google top of their Wired 40 list. Based upon brand, reach and cool tech (must be like a Boston box but with 3 axis… kind of a Boston cube) it rated the search, media, application company the top.
But why was Microsoft 36? Really? Does this [...]

Dabbled

A slightly different post this time. I tried to use Dabble DB but it ‘broke’ in IE7. And then my posting, attempted from Word 2007 Beta 2 ‘broke’ too.
So here’s the post as an image…. (click it for full size)

10.5 (that’s half way towards 11)

I’ve got great hopes for Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard). I still marvel at some of the simply gorgeous features of Mac OS X. Look and feel of the widgets in Mac OS X blow away their clumsy looking equivalents in Windows Vista Beta 2. The scaling, the animations, the artwork are all better. But does [...]

England 1 - 0 Ecuador

The first thing I noticed, rather sadly, about the England team was that David Beckham was playing in short sleeves. I don’t remember Beckham playing in short sleeves previously so it said something about the heat. Maybe it’s Beckham’s David Tennant haircut that gave him the extra ability.
From the initial swearing in the tunnel before [...]

The Scion, the Lich and the Wardrobe

I’ve waited for a little while to post about the annoucement that Bill Gates made that he is to take a back seat at Microsoft. Under the direction of Bill and Steve Microsoft have become the worlds biggest software company and one of the world’s biggest companies in any marketplace. Their growth is still primarily [...]

Sweden 2 - 2 England

Hmmm… England demonstrated their ability to score in this game. I’m not sure if Joe Cole’s shot was fluke or meant but it was a goal and we needed it. Steven Gerrard’s goal was impressive, his movement was particularly good in the build up.
But England showed their uncanny knack to ball watch, in my opinion, [...]

It’s the small things.. step forward dvdburn.exe

Windows Vista provides a lovely aero user interface with frosted glass style chrome. It’s by far the largest Windows to date incorporating practically everything you’ve used on Windows in the past into its great vastness. However you still can’t burn ISO’s . So despite the wonderful Mac OS X-sque interface I’m still forced to go [...]

France 1 - 1 Korea Republic

There will be a lot said about France’s performance in this game. They stepped up the tempo like a team possessed when Korea scored. France should have, on paper at least, walked this game. I’ve been a fan of Korea since Italia ‘90 when I used to watch the highlights video at a friends house [...]
