Oh joy of joys!
I’ve finally managed to get Plazes off my machine. I can’t tell you how many ways I’ve tried to get it off.
I originally found it a pretty cool idea, but when I realised that my home location was shown, I decided not to use it any more.
Over the last 3-4 months I’ve […]

Given how _massive_ poker is, and that people who play it are obsessed with it. Why has no-one written a client that can be played live on a mobile phone?

Hurrah to the Brit, George Atherton, who won the frankly very dangerous looking downhill competition held in Mexico City’s metro.

This coming Friday is Domino Day - a new one to me, but apparently it’s been going eight years now.
