If like me you really like the Flock browser and want to move away from your other browsers but one little thing kept niggling at you, the fact that search results keep coming back from Yahoo instead of Google when you do an address bar search then read on. I’m sure that lots of folk…
Nike + The Nike+ add-on for your iPod Nano is not just some fancy gimmic that iPod developers want you to buy. It’s a seriously cool, accurate and informative running aid for those into their long distance jogging. I do a lot of running on a weekly basis and I’m constantly looking for things that…
Nice one Steven Floyd & co. that is. A group of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are developing a robot that will be able to walk on water. The robot is designed to mimic the abilities of a type of lizard that has mastered the art of water running. Move over rubber ducky, bath-time just…
Now that Steorn have gone and done a nice big bellyflop in the pool of science it’s time to examine another zero-point effect. Flock zero point 9 to be exact. Now Paul Watson installed it recently and he doesn’t appear to like it much. I have to say that I’ve been a big fan of…
Steorn demo update: I’m sure that this will be rectified soon but I’m a little disappointed to say the least having clicked on the link to the video that I thought would open my eyes to Orbo. The result however was a rather underwhelming “Directory listing denied” error. Oh well…
Thanks to Brian W for providing me with this link. Those magnificent men with their perpetual motion machines are out and about again.

Route 66 GPS – Chicago 8000 I recently purchased a Route 66 GPS system for my car. I bought the Chicago 8000 model simply because it looked the best value and doubled up as a portable unit. This was my first touch with GPS devices and overall I have to say that I’m not disappointed.…
Strange as it may sound, the idea of a robot parking your car is not all that bizarre. The basic idea is that you put your car onto a platform that moves horizontally and vertically around a multistorey carpark. The result is no more ignorant folk who like to bash their doors against yours when…
Tip of the hat to Damien Mulley for finding this interesting snippet. Looks like decent, hard working folk in Lithuania are to be rewarded with 1Gb fibre connections straight to their doors. Yes, rather than laying age-old copper lines and maintaining them, the country’s Telecoms have decided to go with a proper option. Eircom heads,…
If like me you’ve run into the wonders of WordPress permalinks previously and hit brick walls such as 404 and 403 HTTP errors when you change from the default ?p=ID to the pretty /blog/2007/07/12/entry, then this post is for you and the many other people who have asked me this question previously. 🙂 Not sure…
