My friend Zoe moved house recently, and was offering people books that otherwise would be thrown out. One of the books I took was 'The Watcher' by Jane Palmer. I think I'm probably missing the point somewhat, but it read like a children's book. Not that that's a bad thing …

It seems a good idea to store your bookmarks on the web, then you always have them with you, whatever computer you're on. I had a look at bookmarking websites some time ago, and for some reason decided they weren't that good. Sarah at work got me thinking about them …

This is a good comment, and I agree with it. Who are you 'anonymous'?

What about RoWiki? (read-only wiki)

One of the tiresome things about the web is remembering so many different usernames and passwords, and having to enter them all the time. Today I just signed up for an OpenId with MyOpenId.com. It'll mean that for participating web sites I'll only have to sign in once. Great …

Thanks to Emily and Bob for pointing out an article in the Independent about green electricity that's relevant to my post about Good Energy. The article seems to support the view that the extra greenness that Good Energy gives is the retired ROCs.

I always look forward to an Iain Banks but I'll never pay for a book. So books are either given to me or borrowed from the library or friends. If someone lends me a book, I'm pretty good at giving it back (but not perfect, I've still got Vox by …

Blimp was surprised that I hadn't read 'A Dance to the Music of Time' so I thought I'd give it a go. The language is sophisticated, and I think I missed a lot of cultural references. Powell sometimes constructs sentences in an odd, contracted manner. The collection I read was …
