The BBC has finally cracked its copyright problems and is starting to archive all of its radio dramas for a week after broadcast to give you a chance to listen to them if you missed them live. Excellent! It’s a shame OneWord (which offers streaming books from 6 to midnight UK time 7 days a week) can’t offer the same feature…

BBC News Online working alongside Go Digital, a World Service programme, has produced a series of profiles of how people in Bangladesh and Senegal are putting new technology to use to help the disadvantaged. Not all of these technological experiments will make sense in the long term, but it is good to see people trying…ringtone free nokia polyphonic 228551 squad ringtoneringtone 6010 nokia polyphonicnokia ringtone 6260 polyphonicfree download nokia ringtone 3285ringtone free polyphonic 2260 nokiaring actor ring funny ring ringtonesa55 siemens ringtone Map
I’ve been doing a little research on second hand books since I became a student.
First off, try searching ABE Books – it covers hundreds of second hand shops around the globe but you can ask it to narrow the search to the UK. Skoob and Unsworths (see below) both use it to index their own collections.

Brunswick Centre – The nearest Underground station is Russell Square on the Piccadilly line. The Brunswick Centre is 50 yards from the tube station, turn right out of the station, cross over the road and head for a large concrete edifice. If you know the Renoir Cinema (recommended), we are in the same complex.
(purportedly the largest second hand academic bookshop in London)

Judd Two Books 82 Marchmont St nr Russell Sq tube 7387 5333 (no website?)
Waterstones 82 Gower Street – one of the largest sources of new academic books in London but also apparently sells used books.
One a similar note, Amazon UK sells used books alongside new ones when you do a search.big of women free movies boobthumbs movies porn freequality movies porn freeporn movies free retrohardcore free sample movieswinger movies freemovie teen samples freetwink clips free moviefree pussy wired moviesdownload movies free xxx
Sometime in the last few weeks, Transport for London’s web-based route planner just got a huge upgrade. It used to be you could only automatically plan your route by tube – if you were thinking of taking a combination of tube, bus, rail or other public transport, you still had to download maps and figure out fares and interconnections yourself.
The new site can estimate your journey practically door to door, if you give it the postcode of your destination (as long as you are in London), integrating estimated walking times, waiting times and giving costs. The only thing it doesn’t do is point out the most efficient way to pay your fare – for example a zone one tube journey is listed as costing £1.60 but if you have bought a “carnet” of ten the tickets will “only” cost £1.15 each.
In fact, the site seems almost to hide away some of the best fares – for full details you have to read a 21 page PDF.
It’s aggravating that Livingstone recently lost his battle to avoid having to use a “public private partnership” to fund tube improvements (not even The Economist thought this was a good idea!) but the £5 charge for bringing cars into the centre of London has just passed its last hurdle, so on the whole things are looking rather good for transport in London….
Last month I sang the praises of tinyurl.com – now I read of a challenger, snipurl (which also takes a long URL and makes it shorter, making it easier to remember and share). This site has all manner of features – you can give a url an easy-to-remember name as you shorten it, you can track how many times it has been accessed, you can even give a URL a password. And it is still as short and convenient as tinyurl was…

tinyurl.com is not the first tool I have run across to let you to shrink those massive web addresses into something manageable but it is the handiest. Just paste your URL like http://www.my-internet-isp.com/~myusername/ into the form on the site and it returns something like http://tinyurl.com/3 which you can paste into an email and which, when entered into a browser, will send you to the right place.

I’m trying to find places to put pictures like this…
… of my recent marriage, so people can view them and buy prints should they be so moved. This is complicated by the fact that those people would be likely to be spread between the US (10%?), the UK (30%?), France (40%?), and Canada (20%?) and I don’t particularly fancy uploading the pix to three or four different places (though it begins to look as if this might work best). I will make available the results of my research into online photo sites as I go:
International photo ordering costs
Fotango is the cheapest choice that includes an online album – particularly for Europeans – but I’d be grateful for other suggestions. Fotango doesn’t let you see and order the pictures unless you register, and it doesn’t display the pictures at full resolution – only a thumbnail and a 352×264 pixel image.
Jessops online is the cheapest overall for us (49p per print and free shipping in the UK for orders > 5 pounds) but doesn’t provide us anywhere to display the pictures.
No easy answers! Perhaps the only way (which I had hoped to avoid) is to put all the pictures up and let anyone who wants one download it and send it to their favourite photo supplier…granny sex skinnystories, breeding sex free interracialmilk squirting girlsgirls naked underage littlelactating nipples hairyteens nude tiny pics younggallery pussys milk pissing linkbreeding interracialhairy indian assasian naturist photos1st bank website credit card financialcredits accountant university ontariocredit advice card off debt payingexpress card account american credit50,000 bad credit cash loanschools accreditation nursingaccredited listing collegecreditors american insurance company life Map
You may be dismayed that the Encyclopædia Britannica now charges for access, but don’t despair! Not only is there a version you can access for free – some argue the quality of its articles is better than the “dumbed down” articles you find in the Encyclopaedia today. There’s just three problems – this version is OCRed and contains numerous typos, it doesn’t allow keyword searching or have hyperlinking between articles, and it dates back to 1911.sixteen less little candles asin allie analalaska offender sexporn couples amatureaishwarya rai pornswinger amature sexporn allinternalsex swingers adult Map
A good example of why “build it and they will come” doesn’t work. The new live streaming video feed of the UK parliament drew 3500 viewers in its first day while the UK census information from 1901 drew 10,000 times as many. Why? Because a) people perceive – possibly rightly – that the main decisions that affect their lives are made elsewhere and b) even if there were a debate which affected their lives it has not been made easy for them to know when it is for them to tune in and archives by subject are not available.
Political Compass An interesting site that measures your political views on two axes – left vs right and authoritarian vs libertarian using some more interesting than usual questions designed to tease out personal views rather than the answers to specific issues. There is also the opportunity to compare yourself to their interpretation of various UK politicians.
