In the past few days I have been sent 3 surveys to complete from pureprofile - an online market research company that pays you to fill in questionnaires. Previously I might have been lucky if I got one a month - perhaps they have discovered I am now a student and suddenly my opinion is worth much more… or it may just be coincidence.

Most recent survey was about a tfl proposal to rent out Light Electric Vehicles, they look like normal pedal bikes but travel at upto 20mph with a 30 mile range…  interesting idea but they look quite strange.  Plus I don’t live in central London where I’m sure these would be positioned.

Photos taken badly using my laptop webcam. The resolution is shocking - I didn’t realise I could increase it until now.

There is a Pirate version of Facebook.

To switch to it scroll to the bottom of any facebook page and go to the language changer…

Thanks Jon.

CRT not going obviously.  I just got carried away.

I can’t actually remember what half the things I packed are.

So why bother continuing to develop?

Eyas sent me this screenshot of the apparently leaked next version of Windows Live Messenger.

Only reason I can see is to add more ‘integration with Live services’ (i.e. annoying plugs for other Microsoft products).

After 2-1 home defeat to Plymouth:

“With our best 11 players on the pitch we’ll go toe-to-toe with anyone but Plymouth made seven changes and if I made seven changes I would have had the physio at right-back.”

A news site that I recently added to my iGoogle homepage: ValleyWag

Contains news, often humerous, about tech companies.

Jon helpfully provided half an hours entertainment.

Just think, someone actually had to make all these cheesy effects. What a job.

- What do you do?
- Oh, I make those silly effects you can use in MSN to pretend you have grown a beard/are a sheep/have an afro etc.
