Hey there! Have you seen these cool new smileys for your IMs and emails? I wanted them for myself, so I went to SmileyCentral.com. You should, too - it's free! Check these out:   Super smileys Love smileys Animal smileys Humor smileys Baddies Old-school smileys Check out Smiley Central - and be sure to send me an email of IM afterwards to let me know what you think!

It appears that some of you like my "Smiley's", so here are a few for this period of the year. The New Year ones that are still shown with "2008" will probably be updated very shortly! If you just want these few, then you can store them on your PC individually, just right-click and "save image" to wherever you wish on your PC. If you would like the whole programme, then search the Web for "My Web", and download the tool bar, giving you access to the Smiley Centre - with thousands of smiley's, some talking, some moving - or create your own! The tool bar will also give you access to programmes like "Screensavers" (make your own slideshows), "Cursor mania" - change that boring little mouse arrow for an exciting one, chosen from hundreds of possibilities, "My fun cards" - send all sorts of "virtual" cards, and control them easily. The whole programme is FREE - and the only "alert" which sh...

http://www.andreaplanet.com/mosaic/starrynight/ (just click on the title) This thing ia amazing. You all know what a pixel is - a tiny unit that makes up pictures. Normally they are numbers or letters, hence "digital", but did you know that they can also be photos themselves...? Well - they can, and here is the proof! Just click on the title, follow the instructions and find out all about it! Truly amazing!

I know one shouldn't mock the afflicted, but I've seen Mr G. W. Bush jr. poking fun at himself, and he is actually a great "stand up comedian" - so I don't think he'll be too upset about this one - It's all in good fun, dear Georgey, old boy...! Just click on the title or paste/copy to your address bar. http://www.changar.com/text/bushmail.html I bet some of you will try to send a mail - in George's name.....!

Here is a link to the subject! Copy + Paste or just click the title. http://www.cooliris.com/product/ If you are using Firefox, you probably know that there are things called "add ons" - little programmes which make life more amusing and often easier on the PC/Web. One of them is called "cooliris", and - beleive me, it quickens up life a lot! Basically it's a tiny programme which shows a little blue logo on links on pages you visit. Instead of clicking on these links, and waiting to see if it's what you thought or wanted, this programme opens up a "mini" sized preview of the page, which you can look at, and decide whether it's for you - or not! You can then open the link in full page, or close it and stay on the page you're on. You can even send the previewed page by email without leaving your original page - Good isn't it! It does this without leaving the original page, so going back and forwards with the arrows or history is obsolete....

you use it everyday, like me, you're on it RIGHT NOW(!) - but what is it...? More importantly, what do you know about it.....? Like me - probably VERY little! It's "one of those modern things - got no time for 'em"! And yet - here we are - using it, this modern thing. Born only around 1922, apparantly, it is unthinkable "a life without it". Yet it has only just begun to influence Public and Private lives. Governments are up in arms - for many reasons, not least because they can't figure out a way to tax it, or suppress it if you don't use it as they say you should! Go on - click on the title and find out more about this phenomenon! http://www.skidzopedia.com/2008/11/21/17-people-who-enhanced-the-web/ (click title or copy/paste to address bar).

A couple of changes on this Weblog! In an effort to make the page charge quicker, for your convenience, and in compliance with suggestions from "Blogger", I have limited the main page to 10 articles. According to Blogger, this should allow the page to load quicker. I timed it out, with a little programme, and this Weblog took roughly 1minute and 10 secs to load completely. Depending on your Internet connexion, this can be quicker or slower, and now with my changes - it should be quicker! Another important point - the articles you don't see on the main page aren't lost - you can find them in "ARCHIVES" Final point - when a change is made to an existing article (as is the case of "Picasa 3" videos - see below) the article is NOT REPUBLISHED as a new article, so it stays in the same position! You could have missed some "updates" or changes - have a look! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...

  I understand there are no plans to dampen the celebrations in view of the current crisis. The turkeys will be happy to fulfil their life's purpose..   I'll think about the merriments, and wish you (particularly the Banks and bankers) I'm sending you all a helpful Smiley, to clear up the leafy Autumnal problems-in his own manner!

Now and then I get this overwhelming need to amuse myself - I hope you understand!   There's often a lot of basic truth in humour and cartoons!   And even if there isn't - that's the point - there isn't one...!   So - just enjoy them, and have a good belly laugh....!
