Well it’s Krakow this weekend and I am really enjoying life here.
I have been before, but as a tourist staying in hotels and doing the standard tourist trail. However this time we are staying with friends in a lovely apartment near the centre of town and it is a completely different experience. Not only do you get to know all the little hidden treasures to eat but you tend to live life at the locals pace, a welcome relief from London I can tell you.
Off now to my favourite restaurant, Szara on the main square for fish soup.
May be back to London soon but not 100% sure now
The first release of the new browser made by Google became available today. It is free to download and test now for PCs at www.google.com/chrome
Mac users will have a slight delay for the OSX version.
I am a big fan of the simplicity of the Google website and I am hoping that that ethos migrates across to their own browser. If it does and holds up to the tests of speed, reliability and compatibility, it could see the final (and long overdue) death of ghastly Internet Explorer as the predominate web browser.
I’d be interested to hear any comments if you give it a go. I will be adding a more detailed (i.e. business-like!) version of this on my company site for RealWorld, so any comments would be handy.
It’s been a long wait for all us Jack Bauer fans, but some time in November we should get a glimpse of what he’s been up to down in South Africa. Then a long wait until the New Year for Season 7 (when he’s working at FBI headquarters back in the states).
The legendary comic artist Steve Ditko is well known for his co-creation with Stan Lee, Spiderman. Lesser known is his later creation, Squirrel Girl. As a youngster I was enthralled by the adventures of Spidey; I even had a life-sized Spiderman in my room (which was surreal when on a fortunate occasion Stan Lee visited our house and signed it in Peter Parker’s name for me!).
However I’m not convinced that “Squirrel Girl” would have quite the same hook for a 8 year old boy as a guy with Spider-sense.
Maybe she is the only hero of any merit in New Hampshire though!
By all accounts the latest move by Burger King into the supermarket world leaves a lot to be desired. Reports from US aficionados on the subject of everything ‘french fries’, say that the Burger King “Ketchup & Fries” don’t even reach the lowly standards of the in-store version. Not a tempting thought!
