I am deeply impressed with http://www.screwfix.com. I placed an order via the Web for a bunch of stuff – pursuant to building a motorbike luggage rack, mockup at [crypticide.com] – and I placed the order at 2115hrs. I received an e-mail at 0421 the next morning, confirming pack and dispatch. Man, the exercise of self-restraint

i was just listening to [www.radiovoxpopuli.org] for a bit; i find it both arty and amusing, although when it ran across the following: [r2.succe.com] …it went a bit berserk, for obvious reasons.

Well – says he carefully, in consideration of this being the punchline of a really good shaggy dog story – this is a trifle bizzare… Like all good obsessive-compulsive neurotics with a new toy, I decided to feed the word Dropsafe into Google this morning, having taken the site live two days ago and having

I received this when I work up this morning; I believe that is commendably fast work. 😎 Subject: RE: Suggest a Change to the Websense URL Database Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 15:16:43 -0800 From: “Websense DB Update” <databasechange@websense.com> Hello, Thank you for writing to Websense.

The UK’s Channel4 TV station has been airing a series of adverts – all of which are montages of clips from interviews with various people who star in shows that are aired on Channel4. Still with me? Good. I get the feeling that the interviews were all done to a standard script with a fixed

…and is available from software update. First impressions: they’ve fixed a couple of niggles, like the KeyChain Administration widget which refused to appear in my toolbar, and i look forwards to playing with the Bluetooth updates. Now all I need is a Bluetooth Sniffer for macos, and/or time to write one for myself…

well it’s true, this website (plus the alternative .org website) has been categorised as a “HACKING” website by the people at [www.websense.com] ; this is evidenced to be my the following query that i performed on their database: [crypticide.com] …so i’ll drop them a polite note and ask them to decategorise the site, and let
