That’s what I call a misleading title
Something weird happened while we were in the UK. As usual we landed at East-Midlands Airport, near Nottingham, and went to pick up our rental car to drive to my parents in Mablethorpe.
As usual the car we were supposed to have (a Toyota Ravr automatique) was not [...]

I am following the debate on surveillance cameras in the press. I remember a while back that the French are testing cameras that detect road traffic offenses but haven’t gone as far as their English counterparts who also detect Insurance and licensing fraud.

Remember my SplashCast post a few days ago? Well I got a comment from one of the guys at Splashcast. I’m really impressed. They know how to keep us all fuzzy and warm. As I said in my reply comment, now I only need some more time to make the Splashcasts and that’s what I’m [...]

That is what it has been used for today as you can see if you wander over to look.
Some of the tested apps had great difficulties with the enterprise [...]
