I've taken off my weather service from the front page but, for anyone interested in using the GlobalWeather web API, free source code showing you how to use it is available here. References to a couple of other web services (some with example code) can be found here.

When I'm 64 65

Upload a picture of yourself here and it'll transform it to show you what you'll look like 40 years from now! Scary.

Another related site is faceanalyzer.com. These guys worked out that I was an arab girl with below average intelligence... Actually I get that a lot. One of my uncles said once he thought I looked quite middle eastern...

Spammer in jail

Yesterday was a great day. No, not because Hedgehunter won the Grand National and no, not because Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles got married. It was great because someone has finally been punished for spamming. On top of that, Arsenal FC beat Middlesborough, Manchester United lost (to ~~Norwich~~ Delia Smith) and Chelsea only managed a draw to Birmingham City! In case you hadn't noticed I don't like Chelsea FC very much...

Mugshot

Mugshot is a home security application I've written that uses a digital camera or webcam to detect motion in your home. If an intruder, burglar or even nosy housemate is seen, a snapshot is taken and emailed to you. So, should the thief steal your PC or laptop computer, you can still take the pictures of the perpetrator to the police for identification and provide evidence of the crime to authorities and insurers. This is a method of crime-prevention that has had well-publicised successes.
