After some tinkering about i manage to fit in nicely the Stock Market Widget from SaneBull
Great website when it works, i believe it uses a lot of java script and its all interactive (ajax) it doesnt always load if you work in a organization with 100s of firewalls which is my case.
Will keep it short and sweet for now
First update on my challenge to build a new pc.
Current Decision:
CPU - Intel Quad Core of some sort around 130 quid
Ram - 4GB PC2-8500C5 1066MHz around 70 quid
Motherboard - P5Q Deluxe around 130 quid
Things to decide:
(more…)
Been a while since i wrote anything so i thought why not put my blog that is read by millions of people (if i am lucky i get 2 friends to read it) to good use and get you guys out there to help me out building my new pc.
So far what I have decided:
CPU - Intel Quad Core of some sort around 130quid
Ram - 4GB around 100quid
I need to decide on the mobo and then what type of RAM ddr2 or ddr3
Mobo:
So the chipset will be P45 as it seems to be the best around at the moment, a lot of website rank the Asus P5Q - Deluxe does any one suggest any other mobo and why?
Ram:
DDR2 or DDR3 what are ur opinions, i haven’t got a clue about this one.
Thanks and stay tunes
Trying out the new plugin ThickBox
This pictures should pop out in a overlay over my site and you should be able to click next

did it work?
what do you guys think ?
David Lloyd Health Club and Fitness Centres really got me going.
.
So I decided to check out how much it would cost to use their swimming pool for a bit of exercise. Like anyone in the XXI century i checked out their website http://www.davidlloyd.co.uk/ totally useless when it comes to prices really.
.
The only way to find out more information about prices and memberships is to fill in this form which gives them ridiculous amounts of information like my address and phone number.
.
So I decided the hell with them I will walk in and ask for the information my self.

It has been a while.
.
Just bumped into this website www.finviz.com via www.stocktwits.com which in turn I found via http://www.wallstrip.com/2008/08/11/twitter/
.
So what’s so cool about finziv?
.
Well they have an extremely powerful search tool for you to find the best stock.
When you have the list narrow down to a few stock you can just over over the price of each individual stock and a graph of historical prices comes up without any delay or an extra popup or window, really user friendly stuff.
.
Also their SotckMap is rather good and customizable, zoomable, etc…
Just hover over a stock and look at the right hand side for the % gained or lost in the past or current day.
.
Hope you guys enjoy this website
For my day to day portfolios I use yahoo and google finance both have their Pro and Cons

Wherte the HELL is Matt
.
Yes I admit I am jealous of this guy called Matt. Most things i bump into this days are via digg.com and this video video was no exception. From the video i went to Matts website and found a wee bit more about this dude.
.
So i started by watching the 2008 video and then the 2006 and eventually the first one in 2005.

Okay I said I was going to try and post things here regularly and really going to give it a go this time but I haven’t.
I dont know how you guys do it.
So help me out here, and answer my question.
How do you find motivation to blog daily or weekly?
I finally decided to give this a go.
I am going to try and post something mildly interesting once in a while and keep this as professional as I can (not just make this web space to host pictures for ebay auctions).
Things you can expect here are some random bits and bobs from my day to day life that I found amusing and interesting enough to share with the crowd. Also some reviews of techy stuff, a trip, a restaurant anything.
Stay tuned
Thanks for the inspiration from Tony blog and Dan blog too
