I have found the latest version of Microsoft MSN auto quits when running on a corporate network. If you need the previous version which works fine, download it here

Excitement doesn’t get better than this! Introducing Space CAM! , nothing to do with the sky at night but a simple camera to keep an eagle eye on the parking space outside our flat. When the motion sensor detects more than 10% of change, an image is taken, it’s uploaded to the site and the Volvo is moved. Impressed?

For the moment I use the excellent EvoCam software.

Live Space CAM here.

Local neighbour and self-proclaimed grumpy git hosts a bash in his flat a few yards from ours. Arthur is a great advocate for Balham’s Du Cane Court, he was interviewed briefly in Steve Punt’s PI here. The bash looked like good fun, I’m guessing my invite got lost in the internal post.

Have Arthur give you a tour of his flat here.

Get your creative minds down to Shad Thames and visit an excellent exhibition on till the 4th October. The Design Museum are showcasing the best British creative projects and people over the past 30 years. It was fascinating looking at all the 90s work and remembering that this was the very stuff that inspired me to work in design.

There’s also a fantastic exhibition by  the talented Javier Mariscal. All of this mans best work spanning 30 years is on display till the 1st November. Really great stuff.

The North West Forth Plinth in Trafalgar Square is open for volunteers. At this very moment a rather wet lady is releasing helium balloons for all her loved ones who have done a good deed, as well as entertaining passers by with high-pitched sung songs.
