QotD: Ghost Story

Do you believe in ghosts?  Have you ever seen a ghost? 
Submitted by Nancy.

In the sense of "restless spirits of the dead still walking the world", well, no. I do think there are phenomena which are at the root of the ghosts legends we have which remain to be explained by science, but given enough time, they will be.

When pigeons attack

I was walking through Trafalgar Square earlier when this happened. Wasn't Ken meant to be getting rid of them?

Friday Afternoon Fun

WoW The internet is for Porn

Song from Avenue Q, graphics from World of Warcraft.

This is work, honest

So, I've been testing a new phone with digital camera for work purposes. Here's some pictures of the merry Business Development gang:

And here's a rather nice one of the QH Starbucks:

And, lastly, here's some less successful ones of a presentation yesterday. I need to do some more testing of the camera's utility in dimly-lit places.

QotD: What I Love About Vox

In honor of Vox's launch tomorrow, what's your favorite feature or aspect of Vox?

I just love the ability to pluck media into Vox from other sources: movies, pics and the like. I love rich media websites and Vox makes it so easy to bring your blog to life.

(Although, it would be quite nice if it worked with your YouTube account like it does with your Flickr account...)

QotD: All My Computers

How many computers do you have in your house? 
Submitted by Foomper.

Usually, just two: the iMac and the iBook. Currently we have an old Performa 6400 kicking around which I'm gonna flog or trash.

Right now, though, I'm at Mum's, and we have 5 computers in the house: Mum's iMac, my iBook, my work PC laptop, Jo's work PC laptop and Mark's iBook.

Just a quick tipple

QotD: Weekend Plans

What are your plans for the weekend?

I'm spending time with Mum before her operation on Tuesday.

QotD: My First Kiss

Tell us about your first kiss.  Who was it with?  How old were you?

I was a late starter with girls.

I was 19, and it was with an American girl called Jen, who was an exchange student at Imperial College at the time. We kissed on a street corner in South Kensington, and all I can remember about it is how odd her teeth felt and how much she tasted of cigarette smoke.

Who says romance is dead?

QotD: How To Kick A Cold

What do you do to get rid of a cold or flu? 
Submitted by ashenflowers.

Stay in bed, drink plenty of fluids, and then knock yourself unconcious with hot whisky drinks last thing at night.

I've no idea if the last suggestion helps, but it sure makes you feel better.
