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

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:

Hard Disk which one of the 3:

1. Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB
2. Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB
3. Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB

Graphics Card:

no idea open to suggestions, something good enough to play games but nothing over the top.

PSU:

no idea open to suggestions

Case:

no idea open to suggestions

Whats your say ??

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

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 ?

.

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.

Next time walking past DL I decide to go in and find out how much it would set me back to dip into the pool, I arrive the the health centre ask for some information and the guy behind the counter asks me to have a sit he will call some one that can give me that information. I waited 2min and some one came to help me with a form in his hand. First thing he said after introducing himself is, can I take some information from you, HAHA NO YOU CAN’T I am here to find out about YOU not for you to make money SELLING my personal details to someone else !!

.

He gave up in trying to get information out of me and gave me what I needed, 77quid or so a month this is more then 2 pounds a day in Gym membership. A bit EXPENSIVE I think.

.

Whatch out for your information !!

.

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.

.

If by now if you haven’t yet clicked on the link on the top of the page like i would have done being a compulsive trigger happy web user (been accused of being trigger happy too when i used to play games Counter Strike Source but thats a different type of clicking) you are wondering what the hell is this guy called Matt and his videos all about. Well basically its a guy who travels around the world dancing like a funky monkey. He or some one films him and then he makes a compilation clip out of all his ridiculous dances.

.

So why am i jealous, well it’s not the dancing moves let me tell you, if anything i wanted the dance moves from my mate Tony Wu as he dances for Funkology it’s more the fact that this Matt guy has traveled the world several times around to hundreds of places, that is whats is cool and awesome. Although not the first time but the consecutive two times he has been sponsored by a company to do the traveling which is match made in heaven. Who would say no to an offer of being paid to travel around the world? Okay you are going to say but what if you don’t like flying (i don’t even know if Matt flew everywhere in his trips) that is no excuse look at this guy.

Gonçalo Cadilhe (sorry for the rubbish translation) has traveled the whole world by all means means of transport expect flying. It all started with one trip around the world and a weekly column for a Portuguese news paper which he would email in from wherever he was about his week. Guess what it was a hit and he made a book with more detail about that first trip which took him more then a year around the world. This trip which was just over one year is not enough to see all the place in the world for example Africa, so for another book he started the tip in Cape Town, South Africa and he had to get home once again by any means possible except flying. So don’t tell me if you don’t like flying is going to stop you from traveling.

.

Anyway just to wrap this up if you love traveling like I do and plan on sharing it with the world I recommend entrip nice and easy to set up with some cool maps, blogs, easy picture uploading etc…

.

If you like posting just pictures of your adventures check out TrekEarth and my pictures can be seen here

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 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
