Nasa has an amazing satellite image of the fires raging in California. The Los Angeles Times has some equally amazing photos from the scene.
Concorde’s final flight
We’ve got the live streaming webcam pointed skywards in the hopes of catching Concorde as it makes it’s final passes over our house. The three last flights are scheduled to land at Heathrow around 4pm local time. You can track BA Flight 2 on it’s way from JFK to Heathrow here. And, of course, you’ll be able to see the landing live on the BBC.
A big day for a novice geek!
After five years of being graciously and proficiently hosted by Chris, in California, the ridey.net domain now resides on the iMac here in Reigate. So far, so good. For my next trick, I will attempt to run a mail server. In the meantime, replace any bookmarks or blogrolls to ridey.no-ip.com with the corresponding pages on ridey.net.
Charlie’s birthday video
Watch Charlie open his presents (if you know the password). And you can even choose the small version (a mere 20MB) or the big version (40MB). Same presents, just a different screen size and quality.

Ooops…
We’ve had some problems with the MySQL database that stores this blog’s data. We’ve been able to restore several entries that had temporarily disappeared, but I’m afraid we can’t resurrect comments made on those entries. Feel free to repost comments, or not!

Poor Bartman
That poor guy who tried to catch the foul ball in Game 6 will be haunted for the rest of his life. Or at least until the sad losers of Chicago comes to their senses. Let’s face it, Cubs fans. The real villain in this drama was Alex Gonzalez, who forever more should be known as the new Bill Buckner. Your two best pitchers also let you down, big time. Now get over it.
