Terence Eden has a Blog
From the monthly archives: November 2009
There now follows a quick run through of how you go about wirelessly updating your BlackBerry. The total process took just under an hour. This was a BlackBerry 9000 updating from 4.6.0.266 to 4.6.0.301.
What’s really annoying is that there’s no automatic propt to tell you there’s new firmware. I wonder how many people out [...]
There is much wailing and gnashing of the teeth about Murdoch’s plan to charge for his content. The swine! The blaggard!
Regardless of the sanity or effectiveness of this idea – I thought it would be an interesting idea to turn the tables. What would it be like if News International were unable [...]
Update!
Those wonderful, delightful, considerate, and fragrant smelling people at The Times have corrected their mistake. All is well with the world. This blog post is staying merely for #NaBloPoMo.
Rupert Murdoch and John Humphrys owe me £20! In protest, I’m going to quit listening to the Today programme until they pay up [...]
I’ve been to many Real Ale festivals in the last few years. Small ones – such as Newbury – take place in the summer and allow one to sit on a deck chair, supping a beer while watching cricket. Behemoths – like the Great British [...]
A stunning majority – 88% – voted in favour of Connect merging with Prospect. It’s not known how many ballots the CWU delayed due to strikes.
Adrian Askew, Connect’s General Secretary, said:
I am delighted that our members have strongly backed plans to merge with Prospect. This promises an exciting future and [...]
UPDATE! Sizzle now available.
SLINGERS from Mike Atherton on Vimeo.
I first met Mike Atherton (aka Sizemore) at a Tuttle event a few years back. I’d been following him online for a while and was interested to hear what he had to say about the future of voice. [...]
A few months ago I was contacted by dodgy timeshare merchants Club Lacosta. Being slightly disturbed by their weasely words and reputation for dishonesty, I recorded the call.
I’ll admit, it’s not the most cutting edge piece of investigative journalism. To create the recording, I placed the rep on hold, [...]
In May 2009, the Government published a consultation called ‘Keeping the right people on the database: Science and public protection.’
On this mater which has dominated the news and the blogosphere, they received only 503 formal responses. Seriously, if the blogosphere wants to change the world, it needs to direct people to respond to [...]
ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET* *One plate only, limit of half a sausage per person, no refills, persons weighing over 75Kg will have to pay a supplement, does not include ice-cream.
Doesn’t really seem fair, does it? The Internet industry loves to abuse the word “Unlimited” – the mobile industry is particularly bad.
Despite complaints [...]
I like wine. I don’t know much about it, but I enjoy visiting vineyards, tasting it, and drinking it with friends. While I can tell the difference between red and white, I’m not entirely sure of the difference between grape varieties, and I can rarely remember which wines I like. I tend to go by [...]
When I was a fresher at university, Mitch Benn played the union. I don’t remember why I didn’t go. I do remember being woken up by the guys in my halls banging on my door telling me [...]
