Aliental? You want to head down towards Lovely Days, take a right and it's the first on the left...

I was checking the user stats for this site over the weekend after I noticed a significant jump in the number of expected visitors (usual expected number of visitors is 2 per day. One of them being me)

Most of the visitors over the past few days were the usual suspects (Hi Yuki! Hi Phil! :D) and some new faces (Hi Haruna!)

The rest were a mixture of casual web surfers (who accessed Aliental through my profile) or people who had ended up here through a search.

One of the strangest referrals was the unfortunate person who had found their way here by doing a Yahoo search for "when I want you in my arms dream" and finding Aliental as the number one closest match in the results list (beating any site which was Everly Brothers related O_o)

I also appeared in a technocrati search for London - but as these results are updated continuously, I gave up looking for my entry after page 42...

So to the visitors from Singapore (Hi Hege!) Trinidad and Tobago, Italy and Brazil (Hi whoever you are!) if you came here on purpose or completely by accident, please feel free to leave a comment or just say hello! :D

Blatant Macism that's what it is!!!

I've noticed recently the ever increasing bias in favour of PC users...

I've been looking out for a decent Mac compatible CD writer, and quite frankly it's been a right pain in the bum.

Tottenham Court Road, the hub of computer/electronic stuff in London, would be the ideal place to find one (or so I thought - hah!!!)

Most of the shops though only stock hardware that's PC compatible, and the one shop that does, Micro Anvika (yes you Micro Anvika) are staffed by people that, quite frankly don't care about their customers….

I would buy it on the net, but to be honest I don't trust expensive pieces of electrical equipment coming through the post because:

1. Not sure it would actually arrive.
2. Or it does arrive and it's got a big dent in it.


Besides, I always like to have a good look at something close up before I buy it. It's just me.

Not only have I had trouble with hardware, but I've found that the only version of MSN Messenger available for a Mac is 4.01!!! (which is rubbish compared to 7.0 available for PCs) Especially when I want the option for audio conversation)

Anyone know of anything that supports Mac and PC and has audio conversation???

:(

o_o

I've become very uneasy since last Thursday, and it's not a nice feeling. I have to travel through central London on my way into work and pass the site of the bus blast. Although I was nowhere near it at the time, there have been occasions when I have been at that point at around the time that it occurred, so I think myself very lucky.

My sympathy goes out to everyone affected by this.
