This used to be one of my favourite sites for downloading good software to try out. They seem to have tools for everything and you can either find a free app or download a trial version. I'm pleased to see that it doesn't seem to have changed. Internet - Download.com - Free downloads, shareware, and more.

As you can see I update this blog fairly regularly. The last stuff that is actually appearing on the site is from November 2002. This is mainly because I have been busy trying to get other blogs with different features up and running. Visit http://morgan-family.info and look at the links I have you'll see what I've been up to.

Just visited the Odford English Dictionary. Go for it Steve you might change the language yet. Some of the entries are actually quite funny - well worth a visit.

Also found quite by accident this blog. I hope you got the job at Iron Mountain. Nice chatty weblog using Greymatter. A definitely worth trying blogging app. Easy to install and very versatile.

I have now succumbed to the dreaded kerb-dropping syndrome. I live in a short cul de sac, used by mothers dropping kids at school and commuters for all day parking. Wouldn't be too much of a problem if one neighbour didn't have three or four cars. He parks two on his drive and the other in front of my house. This means that, frequently, my wife has no where to park close by and loads of heavy shopping. We've given in and are now having the kerb dropped and the garden paved over. Why is this such a disaster - it could add £5,000 to the value of the house? Firstly, we lose the front garden with all its flowers and the small lawn. It looked really nice when the flowers were in bloom. They'll be replaced by a few plant pots. Secondly, and far worse, is the environmental impact. The more driveways that are created and the more garden that is paved over the greater the risk of flooding. If you have a proper garden the rain takes some time to drain away and heavy rain fall won't necessarily cause flooding. Pave over the garden and the rain runs away very quickly. If sufficient people do this then the local drainage system is overwhelmed and even light showers begin to cause local flooding. Don't ask me what the answer is - I had to make a decision based on my own circumstances. It may be that in future local councils don't permit paving of gardens or they restrict the type and size of area. Who knows?
