Just been watching this program about the Dutch with Jeremy Clarkson (he was presenting it, not sharing the sofa with me you understand). He’s been speaking to this guy who’s got a fantastic hobby website. The main jist of it is recording speed cams. Their location, and a record of some of the abuse they receive. Not only are they… Read more →
GRRR! I’m vexed. I’ve just tried to repair my camcorder, a JVC GR DVL 150 with a spare part called a zoom unit that took me ages to track down and cost me £30. I broke the new piece in exactly the same place as the original piece broke. There is a flimsy join on the unit, about 1mm² (that… Read more →
It’s a real shame that America got their lander working before Beagle II (the Brit attempt.) This latest picture reveals why… Thanks to Chris for that submission
Last night I finished reading one of best books I have ever read in my life. “Life of Pi” by Yann MartelEirene has also read it. It’s a book that you never want to finish. The fact that it is a true story makes the otherwise implausable plot adictive reading. I learned so much from that book – highly detaied… Read more →
I’ve just sorted out the photo’s from the Hughes family reunion that took place this weekend. dragondrop.org/hughes (These photo’s do not include the ‘spent’ photo’s from Sunday – they will appear shortly.ish.)
A busy weekend has just been had. On Friday, we had Mel and Tim, Eirene’s cousins) staying with us all the way from Queensland Australia – it was great to catch up with them. On Saturday, we went to a huge Hughes family re-union (photo’s to follow) near Manchester. We stayed in a rather nice hotel so swimming, steaming and… Read more →
I’ve seen it all now – the iGrill – a USB desktop grill. Yes – never move from your desk again. Except if you need a wee. I’m sure someone will think of a solution for that soon… ThinkGeek :: George Foreman USB iGrill Thanks to Simon for that one. Last night I had one of them out of the… Read more →

Not much happening round these parts. Been getting back into the swing of things – had loads of work flooding in – nice start to the new year 🙂 Started planning for FIRE III (what’s fire? – it’s a DragonDrop party – see here for photo’s of fire II). Got a meeting with the relevant tomorrow to discuss dates etc…. Read more →
NASA TV is one of my favorite sites on the web. In fact I’ve got a permanent link on this very page “Live TV from Space. Now that’s what the internet was made for!”. I’ve been watching live space missions via this for years now. Today it has gone to a new level – “Live TV from Mars.” Thanks to… Read more →
Just been to see The Return of the King (The final part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy). What an amazing film. The review on wigg.net (17th Dec 200 post) says it all – Go and see it if you have not done so. Now it’s a chill night in me thinks.
So I forgot to mention the fantastic photo taking gadget I got for Christmas.. The story of Photos/DragonDrop so far… First – there was the black and white watchcam(b/w gallery), then the colour watchcam (what is a watchcam?). (Colour gallery 1,2) Then, the phonecams followed by the hi end digital Nikon 5700. So now – I’ve got a set of… Read more →
Happy New Year! May this year be full of happiness and adventure. Still feeling rather flat after a superb NYE. A great night indeed. Went to a few bars – BRB was cool – Paul Quinlan and his friends were throwing a party upstairs with 20/20 sound, Tom Taylor, and a few others. Good deco – my fish tank DVD… Read more →
