Tsunami

December 30th, 2004 · No Comments

BBC News has just announced that the total dead in the immediate Tsunami has gone over 100 000, about 122 000 right now. This will continue to rise, especially when disease kicks in.
[www.oxfam.co.uk/what_you_can_do/give_to_oxfam/donate/asiaquake1204.htm] Seems like a good idea right now, I’ve thrown in a tenner.

Browsers used to read CR

December 29th, 2004 · No Comments

I’m not surprised that IE is the most used browser to access the CreationRobot site. It is the Windows default after all, and Windows has 90%+ of the home Commercial Operating System install base. I am a little suprised at the volume of difference between IE and all the others though. I’m pleased at the [...]

The choice seems to be Bosch or Dyson. While [...]

Living Jewels

December 26th, 2004 · No Comments

living jewels
Beetles. I need to do some Coleopteran research, I’ve started to write my first novel and beetles are central to the whole book.
I can’t give much away on this, the more you provide online the less likely publishers will go near you - and anyway I have no doubt that this will take me [...]
