Notes from Sven Latham
I have four words for Channel 4 and their continuing live schedule-flooding coverage of the latest series of Big Brother…
Nobody Cares Any More
Also. If there are so many digital channels nowadays why can’t they put BB on there 24/7 and have done with it?
Just caught this image of lightning outside my window tonight. Thunderstorms are so few and far between here this is a momentus occasion for me 🙂

I don’t have much to say about this… 🙂
The other day I sent an email to The Register after I noticed a ‘dodgy’ link from a particular article of theirs. The story was about a US Senator’s proposal to allow copyright-holders to attack pirates’ computers. The Reg linked to his site. I poked around a bit and found a link to ‘My Utah Search.com’ from his site – which actually redirects to ‘bignaturals.com’ 🙂
Well, Thomas C Greene has posted it at the end of an update he made on the story 😀
Just leaving for the Isle of Wight festival. I have a VIP pass. Yay!
More soon 🙂
I have a new car, it’s a Vauxhall Omega and is rather huge. I’m still getting used to all the dials and thingies about it, and thought I had them all sorted out until just now.
Somebody just knocked the door to tell me I’d left my lights on. Bit bizarre (it makes a really loud beeping noise if you open the driver door with the lights on) but when I looked the lights weren’t on.
Instead, it turned out that I’d kept the left indicator on and that if you do that, the corresponding lights switch on and stay on when the car is off. It looks like it’s a side light which makes perfect sense at night if you’re parked on a dark road, but is a complete novelty to me.
So there you go. Don’t leave your indicators on unless you mean to 🙂
H’ray. It’s been exactly one month since I started my exercising at Holbrook gym and I’ve just mounted the scales again.
First of all, a correction: I didn’t have scales on 2 May, so a few days later I got some and weighed myself – I was actually 216lb (98kg).
I’m now…. 212lb (96kg).
Yay. I think 🙂 I’m not particularly disappointed though – it’s early days and I’m more interested in losing the waist, which I’m glad to report appears to be working. I’ve been testing this using the not-really-very-scientific method of ‘do I fit in these jeans yet?’. I have a pair of 34″ jeans which are normally a bit tight (odd – other 34″ jeans fit fine), and I’m now wearing them without any problem!
New search engine doing the rounds – turbo10.com, which The Register rated quite highly. I’ll be checking it out and it could be quite good, although I admit I have a bit of an objection to the way they harvest others’ search results while placing their own adverts on top. That said, I’ve submitted Blogwise (I don’t think the search throughput will be either bandwidth-breaking nor significant; it’s just cool to be listed alongside BBC News as a reputable source 🙂
Unfortunately at time of posting, Turbo10 is down because of denial of service attacks……
While hunting around looking for a set of those great little icons (as created by Antipixel) I found this list with literally hundreds of them. I was going to make one for Blogwise, until I spotted that somebody has already made one!
I’ll be putting it up on the site soon. Unfortunately I don’t know who made it 🙁 so I can’t credit them.
