Well, today was eventful… I did some work on the website, and now its a whole lot better.
In the late afternoon, I steped on a rusty nail, and although it was a very small wound, I still had to go to the doctors, and get a tetanus shot (but I was due for one anyway). So now, not only do I have a sore foot, but a sore arm as well…

This is pretty cool: Ten Uses for the Altoids tin with an iPod
It has some awesome mods, like battery packs and amps and so on.

I got invited to be a beta tester for windows live mail. So now, when I log in to hotmail, it goes to Windows live mail instead. This is a very nifty little AJAX app, and it behaves just like Outlook. You can click a message in the list to the side, and it shows a preview, and so on. It also has a calendar, which you can set reminders on and stuff. What I don’t like is that it has two HUGE graphical ad blocks, at the top and on the side, flashing away, which gets destracting. I much prefer Gmail’s text ads. Well, I guess you can’t really complain when they give you two gigabytes of storage (why anyone needs 2GB is a mystery to me….).
You can find out more here. You can also submit your email and become a tester (it takes two weeks or more to be processed)
So in conclusion, its pretty cool, but the ads detract from the product. 7.5/10

Well, I put a small Google ad at the bottom of the page, so hopefully I’ll be able to make some money from that! I also made some changes in wordpress, so I could make posts from inside the network, but you shouldn’t see anything different…. Hopefully….
I also made some pages; About Me and About this blog. You can access them at the top of the sidebar. I haven’t done about me yet, but you can see About the blog.
See you all later,

Hello, and Welcome to my shiny new weblog! It is hosted on my home server, and yes, I know its not stephengentle.com yet, but it will be soon.
So… Recently, I downloaded the Opera Mini web-browser on my phone, and so-far, it looks awesome. I haven’t actually gone to any sites, because I don’t have any credit… I also tried out some java games, but I haven’t got any I like yet… MotoGP sounds good, but it was too big to send via infrared…
I finished Half-Life 2 last night… It’s awesome! I played the last chapter again today, but the final part (the Gman speech) didn’t work properly second time round… Maybe it only works after you play the whole game from start to finish…
I am going to start playing Half-Life: Source later on, although the graphics aren’t much better that in the original (but the water is better!)
We finally moved the computer into the computer room. It got the Gateway’s spot, and the gateway is sitting next to the paino, with no monitor, keyboard or mouse. But it is being put to good use (guess what computer is serving this page…).
Anyway, thats all that has happened lately…
