Reading through The Register news turned up britain's first online soap opera, of all things. Portsmouth based Chalkhill-Lives.co.uk is where you can find out all about it. Unless your on a fast connection and a serious soap fan i suggest giving the episode downloads a miss, they are large for their runtime.

Decided to change the format to more of a site and surfing blog this month... and why not.
After speaking to a family member on the phone i was directed to take a look at the web site of Rich Wood a Cardiff based photographer who seems to have the enviable task of being at lots of gigs taking pictures of the artists.
While at Rich's site i noticed his forum and that it was hosted by InvisionFree.com. They offer a free forum hosting system on their own servers, it's advert supported (although there is a premium option, isn't there always...) but they are minimal enough and have made the whole registration process as painless as possible.
So... yea u guessed it, the Born Twisted Forum lives!
My daily newsletter from TechWeb had me checking out some news on their site and I stumbled over their TechEncyclopedia which is very useful for computer related explanations.
