Google Newspaper

Checking Google's robots.txt file, the file that tells other search engines what part of a website they can or cannot index, sometimes throws up interesting hints as to what might be coming next. Today a new entry has appeared under "newspaper". Guess it makes sense to want to start cataloguing the printed press...

Mapping free wireless internet hotspots

A new website is now available for those who want to find free wifi hotspots for surfing the internet on a laptop when away from home.

The site's called Wifi-o-maniac and uses Google Maps to chart hotspot locations. You can even add your own that are not already in the database.

Christian computer games

There are lots of interesting people at the new church I've just started to attend - St Helen's Bishopsgate. One of them is Andy Geers, who makes Christian computer games as a way of teaching the Bible. I recommend his blog too!

Keep track of Beijing Olympics 2008

Google have made a useful tool to track the many events at this year's summer Olympics.

Spread Trading

Got a free ticket to a Traders University seminar from Knowledge to Action yesterday. Thought I was going to learn more about trading strategies - turns out it's all about spread betting (aka momentum/swing trading). Be aware that this IS gambling people! It was all extremely disorganised but there were interesting parts to it. At the end they asked for £3K to attend a 2-day course... to which I said no thanks.
