Skullcrusher Mountain - Jonathan Coulton

Just wanted to know if there were any other folks on here who are interested in flying or making kites in any way. I've been flying kites for a few years now and whilst I'm not at "sport" level in Power or Trick flying I have a few low-to-mid range power and stunt kites, as well as a collection...

Also, its worth checking out Photobucket as an alternative is Flickr doesn't float your boat.

You've used QQ? I'm mildly impressed. We did find a Linux version of QQ but it gave us a couple of problems so we've shelved that until I can take the time to translate and look over the documentation. The built in messenger with the aspire is actually quite nice, not quite as flexible as...

Thanks for the tip-off on this. Mrs Kevolution has been eyeing up this machine for a few weeks so when I told her a quick visit to Asda was in order. Seems to be working well at the moment although we're still trying to get to get the QQ messenger system properly installed and working. I'd...

Just uploading a couple from my archives now and will see if I can get a good snap of anything local soon.

As a fan of the Jeff Wayne Rock-Opera and the book first I can enjoy both movies to an extent but still feel let down by them. With the first I know it was a victim of the constraints of its time, both in terms of story and effects but is surprisingly good. It does make me wonder what...

This was a tough challenge, I only posted my pic after a search of the kitchen came up bare. Kept my eyes open all week looking for something else but nowt. But please, keep the comp rolling...

Ahh, hold on... I've been collecting some signs on my wanders... Here's a few...

Hypothetically... if this meant that they were taught spreadsheets using a top-end professional package rather than Excel, would you upgrade to that? You are right not to contradict their teacher, but that doesn't mean you cannot expand their learning. That's like preventing a child learning...

As long as there is format portability it genuinely seemed to make very little difference to most. The less abled kids were usually able to operate alternative systems to exactly the same level whilst the more technically-minded kids enjoyed having something new to find the ins and outs of...

Amazon is good, as is Play.com which is the site I generally lean towards as they often have an edge on pricing. Dependent on the game and your internet connection it may be worth checking out Welcome to Steam, which whilst an American site comes highly recommended from a few friends who are...
