    No more anti-virus software

    The last time my anti-virus software detected a virus, was about 8 years ago. 
     
    For this reason, I've decided to stop using one and see how I get on.

    New webpage on my website

    I've spent quite a few hours putting this new page together on my website.

    Its from 1969 when Britain was still 'Great' and made things.  World-leading things.  Britain was hip. Advanced.  Modern.  Cutting Edge.  And it all came together in the then state of the art, radical, brand new QE2.  Engineering, Interior Design, furnishings, art, technology - its all there, as far advanced as could be.

    Oh how far we've fallen...

    the mobile future

    The American media think that mobile internet/software is the future.  America has only recently caught up with the rest of the world in terms of handset technology, texting, picture messaging etc, and in many ways is still behind.  They've seen huge growth recently, and they think it will continue at that pace - so do Google.
     
    But I'm not so sure.  I have a fabby phone, with a full internet browser and all sorts of stuff built in, but there's only so much time that i want to spend clutching my tiny screen - basically, i only use it for internet or applications when i'm desperate.  A proper computer is usually close at hand and much more pleasant to use.  An iPhone, for me, is too restricted, and too big.  A phone for me needs to be invisible when stuffed in a front trouser pocket.  I just don't see how much further it can go.
