The world famous Freuchie Cricket Club are now online.
The fame comes from being the only Scottish team to win the Village Cricket Competition, which was achieved at Lords in 1985.
Check out the blog called, “Round the Wicket“.

The author of ForestBlog says he has discovered that the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has been using his blog software in violation of the license.
Read his initial posting and then follow the link through to the MPAA Update posting.
So it is now okay to use copyright work in violation of the license as long as “it is for test purposes only!” Anyone for testing the lastest movies via Bit Torrent, Limewire, etc?!?
These pirates are scumbags, ask the MPAA!

Microsoft have appointed a new Outlook marketing spokesman. His first press conference went well!
For those of you who don’t understand the joke, try looking up Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, Iraqi Minister of Information.

For those of you debating the virtues of the new Nintendo Wii against those of the Sony Playstation 3, well just have a look:
So which one, I mean gaming system, will you being going with?
I’m not really a gamer but the Wii does look like fun! The video has convinced me to send a letter to Santa asking for one.
For all you Mac devotees who love your iPod, consider this.
When your find yourself in the highlighted situation then it may be time to see if it blends.
This guy came a close second in the employee of the month!
Microsoft Employee of the Month Award for Aug 2006
Mujibar was trying to get a job in India.
The Personnel Manager said, “Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it you cannot qualify for this job.”
Mujibar replied, “I am ready.”
The manager said, “Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.”
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, “Mister manager, I am ready.”
The manager said, “Go ahead.”
Mujibar said, “The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and say, ‘Yellow, this is Mujibar.’”
Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center for computer problems. No doubt you have spoken to him.
I like pie but I was shocked to find this when looking for pie.
Okay, it is a custom 404 error page but it is way cool.

The car tax disc duly arrived this morning. What a time saver this new online system is for renewing your car excise duty.
I can highly recommend for everyone to give it a try.
It is that time of year again when the car TAX is due for renewal. Now where did I put that car insurance certificate and the current MOT document? Well there is now no need to find them!
DVLA has put in place a cracking system that makes renewing the vehicle excise duty so so simple. They perform an automatic check on the vehicle, ensuring it has a current insurance policy in place and there is a valid MOT in force. Way cool!
At last a government IT project that seems to deliver! Having said that I’m still waiting on the license disc arriving through the post… I’ll keep you updated.
The government has secured the necessary votes to progress the farce known as the ID card. There are a great many things wrong with how this is being sold to us:
1. It will not stop terrorism. The London bombers would have been carrying an ID card if it had already been implemented.
2. It will not come in on cost or time! Name me one government IT projects that has come in on time, cost and has functioned correctly?
3. It will only cost £30, or just under £100 when combined with a passport application. That is the direct cost to the public. Guess who will meet the rest of the costs through their taxes?
4. There are civil liberty issues. It won’t be long before the system is hacked or details leak into the public domain.
5. There is not such thing as a secure system, well not one that is switched on!
Well the government has still to get this through the House of Lords! Here’s hoping they attach so many amendments to this that it either works or becomes a complete lemon.
I found this amusing and it backs up my earlier experience of MACs:
I’m Joining the Majority by Putting the Mac Aside in 2005
Good for designers, suckie for everything else!
(That should anger a few MAC users out there! Eah John M?)
We’ve all had to call our ISP’s helpdesk at some point. I’ve always suspected that they got special training to really piss off the customer! Now I’ve found the truth:
and scroll down the video playback page to play the adult version!
The live version is the best IMHO.
