oops – speed goeth before a boo boo
I dashed off a quick post this morning, virtually as I ran through the door, and I got it half wrong. Apologies, Scotland! The ‘No’ vote won and I got it very wrong. :( But I did get the golfing component right. What on earth was I thinking? lol Meeks-with-egg-on-faceFiled under: Uncategorized

Independence in Scotland – the real meaning of democracy
I’m just waiting for my class to begin so this will have to be quick, but how could I let such a momentous moment pass without comment? Congratulations to the people of Scotland.

RFID technology – aka Tap and Go, Paypass etc – and preventable fraud
RFID technology allows a chip on your credit/debit card to wirelessly communicate with a payment device at the supermarket, petrol station, McDonalds etc, and make a payment without you having to enter a PIN.

The Sunshine Award – aussie style
I love the idea of these awards because they allow us netizens to show appreciation for each other, and like the ripples in a pond, that little bit of love can have wide-reaching effects.

Virtual gaming worlds of the future
I just went back to Final Fantasy XIV, A Realm Reborn, so it’s not surprising that I dreamt about gaming last night. However what did surprise me was the logic of the dream. I leapt out of bed and immediately wrote it all down, before even putting the kettle on. If you know me you […]

Music nostaglia – the Indian Love Call
When I was a kid, I was kind of sickly, or at least I convinced my mother that I was, and so I stayed home quite a bit. Thank god I’m too old for truancy officers! Anyway, what’s a kid to do at home all day but watch TV? This was back in the [19]60’s, […]
