    Thanks Tim. I found google sky already. Indeed, it was one of the things that persuaded me.

    SlideIT – easier way to enter text. Good fun, the predictive side of it can be a bit of a pest so do re-read what you’ve written, although there is the facility to go back to simple ABC input.

    Nothing to do with phones but I do like the “Want a girlfriend” advertising in the sidebar!

      I’m glad you like whatever you are seeing, Agatha. The ads are served up by a remote server which focusses the ads on the viewer, including whatever you are looking at, where you are and I think also your browsing history.

      Whatever you are looking it is what google thinks should be aimed at you. I see no ads offering girlfriends myself.

    I see no ads, which beats the Scientology ads that I used to see!

    I have nothing to ad because Padre has forbidden it.

  • Other people's magazines

    Why do people from other faith groups think it is appropriate to leave their own literature at the back of open Anglican churches? This morning, I threw away four glossy brochures from the Seventh Day Adventist church. Recently it was a vitriolic publication called the Bulwark, an extremist anti-Catholic magazine. Before that it was Jehovah’s…

  • Politics and Religion

    From my experience, politics can bring out the best in people, whilst religion often brings out the worst. o­ne of the reasons that I have kept up my involvement in a political party is that in my experience people are much nicer to o­ne another than in the church generally.
