Voice over IP trials in Second Life will begin in March, reports CNet. The beta stage will be free for all users. That’s about where the good news ends, because you may need lots of money to continue using it thereafter, notes 21talks. VoIP is a great thing to have, though I wonder about time …
Month: February 2007
Met up with some old Bristol friends today and we had dinner at Shunjuu at Robertson Quay. We ordered lots of robatayaki (skewered foods) and other dishes. My favourite was the tofu with century egg sauce topped with roe. As a new fan of black pig meat (best experienced so far at Tom Ton restaurants …
I thought January was a busy month for me. Well, February has been even busier and shorter! Today, I made a ‘cameo appearance’ at a course on how to power search the internet. The course attendees (from other Gahmen agencies) were asked to take a look at my blog. They were also asked to think …
It was a dream start, with 17 year-old Theo Walcott scoring his first senior goal for Arsenal. He put the ball past Petr Cech in his trademark clinical fashion, indicating that this is the start of many good things to come.

Some buildup before the Chelsea-Arsenal Carling Cup final in a few hours’ time. It’s been dubbed The Kids (Arsenal) versus The Cash (Chelsea) with bookies betting on a Chelsea win. Come on, young Guns, show the world that football is more than just about spending lots of money. Arsenal’s Adebayor and Henry in a lighthearted …
After a hiatus I’m finally back in the studio again. As previously reported, Mac’s wireless keyboard had died so I was unable work on any music. Then because there was no activity for so long, inertia creeped in. Only yesterday, during my jazz piano lesson when my teacher insisted I had to perform one of …
We just watched Paris, Je T’aime, a French movie that recently featured in the Cannes Film Festival. It was delightful, and romantic as you can expect, but there were scenes that were quite out of the ordinary. The whole movie is actually made up of ‘short stories’ from various districts, or Arrondissements, in Paris. Each …
