Sunday 17 Dec 2006 – Water start day!
Just back from another windsurfing session about 1.5 hours today in 15-20 knot winds and I got my water starts nailed! Even got the board up to a plane a few times and was brave enough to go out from shore beyond standing depth, cause I can now get home. Lots of fun, can’t waitContinue reading “Sunday 17 Dec 2006 – Water start day!”

Don’t listen to the Global Geek Podcast!
I warn you just don’t listen to the Global Geek Podcast #30 if you want to keep you your productivity. On the show they speak briefly about a little site called Swivel.

My Xbox playing nicely – sort of
Well, I can now stream video’s from my Windows XP PC to my XBox using the Windows Media Connect product. I can only assume when Microsoft annouced the video download service they changed something to allow this! Very happy. However I have learnt tonight that you cannot stream unprotected AAC files using Windows Media ConnectContinue reading “My Xbox playing nicely – sort of”
