Handbags and all things girlie

5 April 2009 12:37

My friend Claire who is a handbag and accessories addict has launched her own website. www.nudeaccessories.co.uk. It is basically a one stop shop for girls! Her website has a collection of handbags, purses, scarves and jewellery, There is something for everyone whether you are looking for a new work bag or that something with a bit of sparkle! And if you are a bloke and that’s not your thing I am sure there is someone in your life that would appreciate a gift!

Fitness

2 April 2009 20:50

The fitness campaign continues for the most part successfully. I’ve kept to doing at least 1000m in the pool twice a week. It’s taking about 40 minutes each time doing breast stroke which is ok, but, I’d like to do it quicker though on having attempted that last night I’m not sure how much quicker I can do that stroke. I think I may need to try out doing front crawl though I need a better pair of googles for that.

I’ve also kept up the gym working managing just over 8km again on the bike along with some arm work – although the day after swimming that wasn’t a great plan!

Destroy

My preferred desktop twitter client right now is the excellent DestroyTwitter. It’s got everything your need and is pretty nifty all round.

In the latest beta you can customise the themes and as I was messing about with a few things I’ve created one for me that’s based on the scheme of this site. If you like those colours then you can grab the theme file. Just double click it and it should install.

Here’s a little more about DestroyTwitter:

DestroyTwitter is a robust but compact Twitter application built to run on Mac, Windows, and Linux using Adobe AIR. It consists of a series of canvases that constantly update to keep tweets current and up-to-date using notifications that appear immediately after a new tweet arrives. DestroyTwitter also features complete direct messaging functionality. Messages and tweets can be replied to with the original visible for quick and easy reference. A search function is also available to track anything that’s being talked about.

April Fools Day ’09

1 April 2009 8:25

Quick round up of April Fools day ’09 pranks so far.

BMW always come up trumps and today is no exception with their excellent BMW Magnetic Tow Technology, also featured on the home page. We have the Guardian paper announcing Twitter switch for Guardian, after 188 years of ink and Google announcing CADIE an artificial intelligence break through.

Chris Moyles on Radio 1 also announced “April Fuel Day” where by ringing up you could get a password and get half price fuel at selected garages. This made more amusing by the fact even after they’d announced it was a prank people still called in!
