What a great forum post I stumbled across the other day… it includes some authentic sounding Chinese recipes. I’m definitely going to be giving some of these a try some time soon! http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=1616107&highlight=chinese
There are lots of different packages available that offer anti virus and/or firewall protection, often with many other products and protection elements bundled in as well… but sorting out which is any good and which can be relied upon is important for all computer users.
The is my list of free ant virus and firewall software. It’s not an exhaustive list – and I’m open to receive recommendations or suggestions for additions… but it’s a useful list of free resources.
I came across this really interesting article on the Independent’s web site the other day, all about the science behind hangovers. It seemed particularly pertinent, given the festive season and more than a few people suffering with their hangovers.
Hangoverville is a place nobody wants to visit, but the road towards it is one many of us end up taking, especially during the party season. The telltale signs of having reached your destination are unmistakable and aptly described on a global scale. “Smacked from behind” is the literal translation of the Swedish word for hangover. Meanwhile, the Salvadoreans describe themselves as waking up “made of rubber”, the French with a “wooden mouth” or a “hair ache” and the Danes with “carpenters in the forehead”.
I had a racing snail that never won a race, so I removed his shell to make him more aerodynamic…

The Samsung N210 is the 3rd netbook I’ve had, and I have to say it’s easily the best. The build quality is exceptional, battery life phenomenal and they keyboard’s great to type on, even for hours at a time. Train journeys and flights are so much easier with one of these little netbooks to keep you entertained.
Samsung claim something like 11 hour battery life. I’ve not put it to the full test yet, but it’s certainly kept me entertained for a couple of movies during a 4 hour flight and was still showing over 6 hours battery life!
Some reviews had mentioned that the Windows 7 starter addition was too restrictive, but you need to remember that this is a netbook and not a high end desktop or laptop machine – it’s not going to be suitable for Photoshop, for example, but it’s fine to work online, use Office and/or listen to MP3’s.

With all the snow affecting the UK, I thought this service from the BBC is a very useful resource.
It’s not just going to be useful when it’s snowing though – general journey planning will benefit from this; and I especially like the live view cameras so you can check out what the traffic’s like for your route ahead.
Definitely worth a look/bookmark: http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/
