Funny representations of internet browser users

March 10th, 2010

The BBC Click program about technology recently reported on the fact that Windows now has to include a choice of browsers in new bundled operating systems to avoid an unfair advantage for Explorer and had comments from various companies providing browsers about why theirs is the browser of choice.

If you watch the second half though you will see what they say are videos by viewers indicative of the repsonses they received. Get the feeling the producers of Click don’t use/like Explorer? Though they have the Microsoft guy on first in the execs portion – check out the viewer representing Explorer. roflol

Developers doing extra coding to make something work in Explorer 6 – Consider the Naked Man!

Question: Is the Mozilla/firefox woman attempting to recreate the firefox on her head?!

Glenn Tilbrook at the Sage

February 27th, 2010

Glenn Tilbrook was awesome. The Sage decided to go with seating for this gig in Hall 2 – are they saying we’re old?

He was thankful for being able to do what he does for a living, trying to learn this same life lesson.

We only caught the last song of the opening act Floe. We didn’t mind… they rhymed love with glove…shades of Phil Collins…when I’m feeling blue…all I have to do…is take a look at you…then I’m not so blue.

The annoying thing is we wanted to like them. Right before they performed their last song they told the crowd that anyone who really wants their CD should get one from the merch table…there is a suggested price but they want their music out there so if someone can’t afford it they should get one anyway. Enlightened sales policy, crappy, lazy rhyme.

Stornoway and Beth Jeans Houghton at the Sage

February 15th, 2010

Stornoway should have been the headliner in this pairing. Caught them for a couple of songs at Middlesbrough Music Live and have seen Beth Jeans Houghton a few times now.

She is young and has a gorgeous voice, is very cute and very creative.  What’s the problem?

Part of her persona is giggling through a bunch of messing up.  She is from the area and the crowd is supportive but it is annoying when you pay money to see someone in a fantastic venue and it doesn’t seem like they have bothered to rehearse very much and have possibly spent more time planning outfits.

I highly recommmend her EP and hope she gets her sh*t together for future gigs.

lyrics of zorbing

Conkers shining on the ground,
The air is cooler
And i feel like i just started uni
Walking backwards to my van
You’re at your window,
And I’m tripping every time i think of

Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm has broken, Heavens open

Send my body out to work
But leave my senses
In orbit over south east London
Wind the window down and pinch
Me on the shoulder
Whilst i’ll be driving off to dream of

Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm has broken, Heavens open
So electrifying, Oh I’m nearly flying
Lost my heart between the sheets of lightning

I’ve been singing you this song,
Inside a bubble,
Been Zorbing through the streets of Cowley,
We were always meant to be,
Zorbing together, And i think its high time we started

Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm is breaking, windows shaking
So electrifying, Oh I’m nearly flying
Lost my heart between the sheets of lightning

Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm has broken, Heavens open
So electrifying, Oh im nearly flying
Lost my heart between the sheets of lightning

Kev’s new favourite song (even if it’s a bit folky for him) because it involves disconnecting…one day we both will:
