I’m not a Londoner and 2.) I’ve only ever commented in London at rush hour once before, but…. I’ve never seen them stop people at the entry barriers to elevate the pressure on the platforms. Very interesting (or annoying if you’re trying to get somewhere).

Saw this happen at Victoria underground station this morning (Circle and District Lines).

I think i felt a little sick whilst doing it but, i've installed XP on my Macbook Pro using Apple's Bootcamp

One thing which i'm reasured about is that Windows XP can't read HFS+ which means that it's not going to be doing any writing to my Mac OS X Partition. Nice. :)

They have a cool little flash app where you can explore and pull up video content on a particular area.

Nice but i recon a tie into Google Earth with BBC content just like the National Geographic does would have been better. I’m not saying that it’s not fantastic but i’m all for open sharing, would probably have pushed all the Google Earth users at the BBC too. Anyway check it out!

Imagine my excitement when i turned up to work, to find a UPS van outside the front door… We’ll he’s been and gone and i still don’t have any hardware to show for it.

I decided to call UPS and find out if the guy just forgot to deliver it. Apparently it’s all fine and it’ll be delivered today. Better Be!

More details on my experience with this fantastic (on paper anyway) bit of Nokia kit will follow.
