The Co-Op Card

If you’re looking for a credit card you might want to check out the Co-Op Bank card. It has a 0% rate fixed for 6 months and you earn travel points for different things as you use it. You can also set it up so that an organisation you support gets a donation every time…

London Visit

I was in London last week, and popped into the office to say hello to my colleagues. Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to get into the center of London, but maybe next time. Next time I go there, I’ll be looking for a London bar at Trusted Places. I love the way they incorporate…

Cupidopolis

Camille has a new blog up and running called Cupidopolis. It’s a Q&A website which has a whole bunch of useful information. Funny how I fix computers and she fixes people huh? Anyway, if you have a question you want to ask, just pop down and click the Ask a Question link. Tweet

Online Ads

Do you find online ads annoying? Whether it’s the window that pops up to “inform” you that your computer might have a virus, or the banner that says Click here to accept credit cards, they’re always too much information. I usually work on the basis that if I want information about something, I’m perfectly capable…

Playing with dolls

I just love the range of different websites you can find online. Some are for men, some for women, some for boys and some for girls. I came across a girlie site today, which is probaby not so interesting for guys, but I can see how it would appeal to girls, and parents who have…

So, let’s say you’re in London for example, and are looking for a London restaurant. Just navigate to the right category and you get a…

Still playing with FaceBook

Well, it seems like FaceBook has withstood the test of time. It’s been a couple of weeks and I’m still using it, checking it out and urging more and more friends to come and sign up. The API means that there’s a wealth of applications, which is a mixed blessing, as some are really crap…

Keeping an eye on cancer

I don’t know if it’s because Camille has a familly member who has been diagnosed with cancer, or because I’ve been watching lots of medical drama on TV (House, Gray’s Anatomy, Scrubs etc), but I’m much more aware of cancer now than I ever was before. Luckily there’s lots of Cancer Information available out there…

Do you work through your lunch break?

Interesting post on U.S. labour laws by Andrew Flusche who’s a law student taking his bar exam really soon. It talks about some general legistration about working hours, overtime, breaks and minimum wage with specific references to the legislation in different states. If you work in the U.S. it’s worth reading, just so you know…
