Macs and Xserve power UK's fastest net cafeBy Jonny EvansMacs and Xserves will be the tools of choice at the world's fastest internet café.The Visitors Centre at BT's Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station, on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall, is to become the world's fastest internet café on June 27.Computers there will be able to download data at speeds of up to 100Mbps – significantly faster than standard broadband.The café computers will include 12 iMacs with the latest Intel Core Duo processors and an Apple Xserve. Routing, switching and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology has been provided by Cisco and headsets by Sennheiser.Visitors to the Satellite Earth Station, which attracts more than 80,000 people a year, will be able to use the superfast facilities of the internet café free of charge.Adrian Hosford, director of corporate responsibility for BT, who will host the launch, said: "This sort of technology will mean that people can choose to travel less, helping the planet to deal with climate change and creating a more sustainable future. We are pleased to work with world-class companies, such as Apple, Cisco and Sennheiser to deliver this wonderful 'must-see' attraction for the visitors centre at Goonhilly."Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station – located in a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), containing some of the rarest plants in the UK – is the largest station of its type in the world, with 60 antennas handling thousands of international phone calls, TV broadcasts and data.It is also the world's oldest surviving satellite earth station. The first antenna, known as Arthur, was built to track the Telstar satellite and received the first live transatlantic television broadcasts from the US in 1962. Arthur today is a grade II listed building and is still in operational service.

It was not me who superglued the lens cover to the lens!
I have copied and pasted a post from a forum. Brave man to admit his mistake!

This is funny!!

2006-06-26T12:53:00.000-07:00

OK, I have screwed up big time & need some help.Over the weekend after the lens cap falling off my 70-300 lens yet again, I decided to put into action a plan I had come up with earlier last week. I had a spare UV filter that was scratched, so had no use for it. My idea was to super glue the lens cap onto the filter, which I can then take on & off the lens by simply screwing / unscrewing it. Simple I thought & I don't have to spend a penny.Well yesterday whilst watching the footy I decided to give it a go. I had decided to put the filter on the lens & then glue the cap to the filter, that way I would not get any glue on my hands etc. I even put newspaper in the dining room on the table to stop any mess. What could go wrong !!I had the lens, the filter, the cap & the super glue. I was ready for action. Just as I was about to start I could hear people cheering in the lounge. Someone had scored, so I leapt up to go see the action. After 5 mins I returned. I put the super glue on the lens cap & fitted it to the filter on the front of the lens. Perfect !!. I felt really proud, until I caught the sight of something on the floor by me. IT WAS THE FILTER !!!! . In all the getting up to watch the football I had knocked it off the table. When I returned I obviously didn't see it on the table & must have assumed I had fitted it I HAD ONLY GLUED THE LENS CAP ONTO THE LENS DIRECTLYNow I've tried everything to get it off to no avail.Can anyone advise of anything that will melt the superglue ? Will boiling water or white spirt work, or would this damage the lens ? My wife bought me this lens as a present, so will go ballistic if I tell her what I have done.I blame this all on the world cup

A good website follows these rules ....

2006-06-17T07:51:00.000-07:00

If you really want a web-based business,If you really want a web-based business, your request shouldn’t be for “templates” or “layouts”. Your question should be “how can I make my users/readers come back for more of what I’m offering?”. That’s the question we like to answer. The reason why is simple - there’s basically two schools of web-designers and developers: * Those that do webpages by thinking about color schemes, pixel-perfect placement of headers, titles and images. They get your job done if your page is a visit-once endeavour (in which case, you don’t really have a web business). They do not get the job done if you need to make sense to your users and readers. A web-application (or a blog) is not a concert-night poster. * Those that want to know your business and your users first, consider all the aspects, and then implement them (even with all the bells and whistles the first kind of designer would get you). This is the right kind of people you want if you are building something for everyone. Someone (or a team) or knows engineering and breathes it into the design. People with people skills and talent.

Microshite to take on iPod - yeah right

Friday, 16 June 2006World Groans as Another Tech Coalition "Takes On" iPodTopic: iPodCnet reports that Reigncom, makers of the iRiver, MTV and--who else?--Microsoft are joining forces, Voltron-style, to tackle the 10000-songs-in-your-pocket menace from Cupertino.Reigncom maybe hadn't noticed that Creative and Samsung have also teamed up with Microsoft, as noted in the Cnet article.So the gauntlet has been thrown. Again. For the nth time. The problem for Apple's competitors is that Apple keeps returning the gauntlet to them, usually with a nice operating loss to boot.
