Whats hailed as a huge success last year in Australia is taking place on a worldwide scale this year.

Earth Hour is an international event that asks households and businesses to turn off their lights and non-essential electrical appliances for one hour on the evening of 29 March at 8PM local time until 9PM to promote electricity conservation and thus lower carbon emissions.

Google have turned out the lights, will you

Google running live anti virus?

November 26, 2007

First time this has happened but Google halted me in my tracks entering a site due to the risk element. Above is a screen shot of what was displayed. Have Google been doing this for long?

In my own stupid way it actually made me want to go into the site as i felt a bit ‘big brotherish’, il cry tomorrow when this PC is riddled with malware! (ain’t my pc tho!!)

Gmail Spam Increase?

November 21, 2007

I’ve just realised over the past couple of weeks that the amount of spam my main Gmail account is receiving is on the rise! I never received spam prior to this, know i know that gmail is being upgraded but i still access mail under http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1 and as far as i know the new user interface should be ui=2!
I suppose i could do the extra exercise of having to click the ‘Report Spam’ button…

An ode to Google!

November 22, 2006



It’s not like me to sing the praises for software but I’m a huge fan of googles webmail Gmail. Still in Beta and with over 2 gigs of space for all your junk and a great search feature it knocks the likes of Hotmail and yahoo mail to the kerb!

Now you can access your gmail from your mobile and it’s all simplified for handset and PDA access with the same cool functions only with a minimum bandwidth. On further clicking around on my nokia 6680 they have a ‘faster email’ for your mobile, currently limited to only nokia 6680 but it instals GMAIL onto your phone so you can have a mini application running to check your email, very nifty and very handy!

Worth while giving it a try if you have the Nokia 6680 (Dont know iif it works on other handsets).

Also worth noting is i am on Vodafone prepaid service and just to login and check your mail costs 50c credit…for every cloud, there’s a silver lining that will cost you money!
