Fantasy F1: Europe

August 24, 2008 at 7:17 pm (Formula 1)

Oh no, another Ferrari engine failure! A great new track but a boring race unfortunately :-( . I had Hamilton, Glock, Barrichello and Mclaren. Hamilton finished 2nd, Glock 7th and Barrichello 16th. Mclaren came home in 2nd and 4th. An average points haul.

Random live webcams from the internet

A great site listing public webcams that are found on the internet through clever search techniques.  Some are intended to be public, some are not. Some are just plain strange. Quite fascinating.

Good grief. I don’t get the point of her but…wow….she is hot! :-)

New Lara Croft
Is she in the game? film? just promoting? God knows. But if she is in the game then boy do I want to work with the programmers when they ‘motion capture’ her movements!!!!!

Drool…

Fantasy F1: Hungary

August 11, 2008 at 8:22 pm (Formula 1)

For the Hungarian GP I had Hamilton, Webber, Piquet and Mclaren. Massa drove a commanding race but had an engine failure 3 laps from home handing Kovalainen his first F1 victory. Hamilton finished 5th, Piquet 6th and Webber 9th. Mclaren cars finished 1st and 5th. A good haul of points.

Huzzah! A pleasant surprise tonight: NTL Virgin Media have upgraded their DSL broadband connection around my area:

Wondered why I was getting 1.2Mb/sec download speed :-)
