Yahoo! Music Free & Legal Lyrics Search

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I really like music, but can never understand what the singer or the band is saying. To make matters worse, I seem to be the only one in my household that suffers with this affliction. Luckily for me, Yahoo! has just launched an all new Lyrics Search feature as part of their Yahoo! Music offering. […]

Wales has more Wi-Fi hotspots per million people (193), than in any other UK region.

Gmail file attachments now 20MB

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Probably old news to most of you, but I just noticed that Google are now allowing you to send and receive messages up to 20 megabytes (MB) in size via Gmail. My initial thoughts were “Great, about time”, then I realized the increase will probably only be useful for sending large attachments to other Gmail […]

Garmin: Impressive Customer Service

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been having problems with the heart rate function of my Garmin Forerunner 305 - inconsistent readings, no readings at all and an inability to pair the chest strap with the GPS receiver.
I thought it was just a matter of changing the battery in the chest strap (twist […]

I thoroughly enjoyed the Top 10 Beers post over at the Everyday Weekender blog. It really put me in the mood for some good beer and as luck would have it, May’s delivery from the Microbewed Beer of the Month Club was waiting on my doorstep when I arrived home from work today. Perfect timing!

How do I integrate StumbleUpon links within WordPress?

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

I was asked earlier today at the Blog Or Not To Blog blog (that’s a mouthful!), how I added a StumbleUpon button to each of my posts on cymru66. It’s fairly easy and it saved me the trouble of installing a WordPress plugin. Not sure which option gives the best end result, but I’m happy […]

I recently read about Bucks4Banners on the Make Money Online blog - a blog about the author’s quest to make money online and what ahe learns along the way!
It seemed like an easy way to make a few dollars (or in this case, pounds) per month, so I decided to join the program. It will […]

Tuesday evening 8 mile run

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Great run tonight. Wanted to get an 8 miler in after Sunday afternoon’s shortened run, mainly to boost my confidence in preparation for Saturday’s 10k race but also to test out my right foot (again).
