Because it is outstanding, and because they asked for people to link to them, it’s time to mention the Calendar for TV.  Your one stop shop for knowing what is airing and when – even taking into account time zones.  As someone who watches a lot of American TV, this is excellent for keeping track…

Update 18th July 2008: I called Domotec today and the difference in response was like night and day.  New component on it’s way to us now.  Horrah!
If you’d spoken to me or Lindsay recently you might have thought we were on comission from iRobot, the manufacturers of the Roomba vacuum cleaner. We’ve been raving…

I’m getting worried about Beth and her unhealthy interest in toast. I even tried to call an intervention the other day, before getting sucked into the tempting buttery goodness of toast addiction myself.
