Adoption section to be password protected for future posts
Posted July 31, 2008 by Craig
I am testing password protection on the Adoption section of my site, so that only people I want to, can read posts about my adoption search, and family issues. I’ve tested using an old post and it seems to work ok, so future posts will be private, and access restricted to people who I don’t [...]
An example of the stupidity and greed of the music industry
Posted July 31, 2008 by Craig
Universal have just opened an online music store called Lost Tunes - all tracks are DRM free and recorded at 320kbps in the MP3 format - they cost 99p per track.
A quick example of their own greed, and the biggest reason why people might download ‘illegally’.

Lost Tunes price - [...]
I was looking on the internet and found this….

If you watch the BBC show Top Gear you will be familiar with the title of this post.
Basically whenever Jeremy Clarkson says
I was looking on the internet and found this
the camera pans away, and the studio all start laughing. We never see what he found that was so funny, which is the joke I guess, [...]
The BPI is dead, long live the music !
Posted July 29, 2008 by Craig
Last week the BPI and the major UK ISPs drew up an agreement, that will see the BPI passing details of file-sharers to their ISP, and the ISP sending a letter to teh file-sharer reprimanding them for sharing copyrighted material. The BPI of course wants stronger measures such as cutting users off, but the ISPs [...]

Horncastle Town Hall is SAVED!!
Posted July 25, 2008 by Craig
Sorry about the headline, but a resounding 10 to 1 vote to save Horncastle Town Hall must be seen as a victory, or must it?
The vote ended with just over 1000 residents voting to save, and just over 100 residents voting to demolish. Unfortunately it is my belief that all this vote has done is [...]
Knock Off Nigel isn’t a thief at all.

Who’s Knock Off Nigel you ask?
He’s the ‘victim’ in a series of ads, who downloads films (oooer!!!) that he doesn’t have he right to. According to the ads he also steals from whip rounds, and other people’s milk from the fridge. Here’s the ad at YouTube.
Useful sites for tracing birth relatives and finding parents but the information can be perilous
Posted July 24, 2008 by Craig
Trying to find a person used to involve hiring private detectives, but the internet has changed that, at least for the basic tracing of a person. Everything you find is reliant on the quality of the information that you have to input, and whether the person you are looking for has taken any basic steps [...]
Horncastle Town Hall, voting tomorrow, but what for?
Posted July 23, 2008 by Craig
The town of Horncastle goes to the polls tomorrow, to vote on whether to save and re-furbish our town hall, or sell it to developers, and spend the money elsewhere in Lincolnshire (but very probably not in Horncastle).
So far there has been very little information on what the Save Horncastle Town Hall brigade actually plan [...]
