So I’ve been playing around with Microsoft Bing today, just with the image search, and I actually really like it!
I’m as suprised as you, I really expected something boring, unintuitive and useless. I figured it wouldn’t be really any different to Google’s search, but with worse results. Au contraire!

Bing, is the new name for yet another re-launch Windows Live (MSN) Search, the search engine provided by Microsoft as a rival to Google.
Microsoft are launching an $80M – $100M ad campaign for the launch which is to occur in June.
Who knows what they’re USP is, currently Live Search isn’t particularly attractive to me personally, in that I mean, they’ve not convinced me to change my home page from google to live search.
Let’s wait and see what they do with Bing.
Please see my followup post here: Microsoft Bing – Image Search

I’ve finally moved house, out of various circumstances. It’s nice to have cable internet finally 
nice and fast, so probably will get a bit more blogging going on. I intend to design a couple more Glype themes (and possibly WordPress themes also), write some new handy Greasemonkey scripts, and possibly even write a couple of film reviews.
I’m heading to an Internet Marketing conference next weekend which should be interesting, hopefully it’ll get me inspired to do one of the many projects I have in the bottom draw of my desk, or possibly come up with some new ones!
There’s not much news, I’ve been working on a really cool web-based IDE for work. It’s the kind of system that basically is used to write itself aswell as other applications, which can be both confusing and skynet scary haha, but once complete, it should speed up the team’s development significantly, but also allow us to extend both the current development system, and itself.
poker time.. more blog soon…

I’d just like to alert everyone to a great little web video cast by Robert Llewellyn (star of Red Dwarf, Scrap Heap Challenge etc).
It’s called CarPool, and basically consists of him driving various people you may or may not know around to wherever they want to go. It’s funny and a very simple format which is perfect for the walk to work or if you just fancy something to watch / listen to.
You can view the cast on his site www.llewtube.com or download it on iTunes and watch it on your iPod Touch / iPhone like myself
Check it out!
