Oops
This evening I decided I should pick up my guitar and practice some more. To my horror I discovered that I've managed to damage the nut, so one of the strings rattles around horribly 
I now need to find the time to locate someone local who can do a nice repair job. Any recommended repair shops in the Newcastle area?
BBC Internet Blog: How to start an HD channel from scratch
Andy Quested has just posted an interesting entry on the BBC Internet blog called "How to start an HD channel from scratch":
I can only image the conversations John Zubrzycki (BBC Research) had with set top box manufactures in late December:
John:
"We are going to do a trial of HD on digital terrestrial and need to develop a set top box"
Manufacturer:
"Great, we can get our development team across it. What's your timescale and how many units do you need?"
John:
"Well it would be good to have say 500 for a trial in June"
Manufacturer:
"June, that's June 2008?"
John:
"No, this June - in time for the World Cup."
That was probably followed by the sound of the phone going down!
Head over and read the full article if this kind of thing tickles your fancy...
Google Reader is really starting to bug me
There's an annoying bug in Google Reader that causes the unread article count to increment before you're actually able to view the article.
Eg:
The problem first reared its ugly head a few months back, with it happening more frequently over the past week or so.
Is it just me, or is it annoying the hell out of anyone else too?
