Contractually Obligated Orkut Mention

Posted on January 25, 2004 by Ewan Spence

Yes I’m there as well, just like the 6% of the world connected to the Internet. And, just like everyone else, here’s my “huh?” moment. I dived into the gallery to put up a few pictures of Eilidh, Vikki and myself to find this phrase right below the upload button: Do not upload photos containing children, pets, cartoons, celebrities, nudity, artwork or copyrighted images. Well, that’s pretty wide ranging. What does that leave that I can put in the gallery? And if that’s the case, what’s the point in a gallery system?

Headlines That Make Me Stop

“Water Found on Mars” So went the Evening Standard on the Tube on the way home from work last night. And that’a a pretty momentous announcement (assuming the ESA are 100% sure of the readings). So much better than somehting politial or an announcement of another tube strike. Water on Mars, eh. IMagine how much Volvic can sell that for…

Round San Diego With A Fridge

Posted on January 16, 2004 by Ewan Spence

Oh boy. I’m sitting at work reading Tony Hawk’s “Beating The Moldovans at Tennis,” where he makes a strange bet that he can beat the Moldovan National Football Team at Tennis (individually), and one of the Engineers mentions that “you were looking for somoething to do in San Diego, what should we bet that you can’t do?” The suggestions (some of which I’m never posting here, some will go up later) are pretty good. But to give me some chance, I’m only going to choose one of them. I’m also going to open it up to anyone reading this Diary.

Christmas Pictures

Vikki Writes… I’ve finally got around to sorting through all the pictures and updating Eilidh’s website. Unfortunately, a lot of the pictures haven’t come out at all well, so there’s quite a lot missing. There have been a lot of pictures taken on other people’s cameras though, so hopefully I’ll be able to come back and fill in the gaps when they’re developed. The new pics are through the last three links at the bottom of the list. There are some cracking pictures in there :)
