After my web based TV Guide ( blog post, weblink ), I have been developing a C# 2.0 TV Guide.
I started it ages back last year, and have only been updating it more recently, and with a few tips gained from working with c# at work I have been able to make it a bit more advanced. You can get it from here now anyway: http://www.blueghosttv.co.uk/pc/

Quite good 
I went to see Stephen Lee take on Anthony Hamilton in the Welsh Open on Saturday. I’m not a big Rugby fan, but knew to check to see there were no 6 Nations matches at Cardiff - I didn’t know there would be 2 Powergen cup matches their until a few days before. So what to central trains do, put on a 2 carriage train that was packed at Birmingham with NO room at all.
When we were there, I took a look on my phone during a 5 minute frame interval to look at the football scores - then some welsh nazi guard comes out to tell me off - but allows his welsh friends to eat and drink in an arena that states “No food or drink allowed”.
I finally got a job, at EDS. In fact I got it ages ago but only started on the 16th. Everythings going great. I haven’t really had time to do any work on any of my sites and scripts since then having work and other things at weekends, this weekend being no exception. Hopefully I’ll get them all updated soon anyway, and fix the Google Greasemonkey scripts as well
It seems it wasn’t just word of mouth that made milliondollarhomepage.com so popular, but the use of a $7000/month PR agent. Who know the truth? Who cares?
Well done to alex for, almost, reaching 1,000,000 pixels sold and becoming an American Millionaire. Personally I think it’s all pointless but people will spend money on anything nowadays.
Despite inital reports of Wolves being close to being the first team to score 7000 league goals, it now appears they have already done so. The question who scored it?

Interesting post about amazon’s price reduction policy. I’ve tried it and it works.
Rpoints : View topic - Amazon’s price reduction refund policy
Incase you can’t view the forum post below, here is the text:
Just a little tip I wanted to share with my fellow VIP’s… if you order from Amazon.co.uk and the item is reduced in price within 30 days of despatch you can get the difference refunded. I think I read it on these very forums a while ago (couldn’t find it again when I searched - so many posts with ‘amazon’ and ‘price’ in etc!), but with Xmas coming this could be very useful as many items bought full price are often reduced shortly after (I seem to remember ordering from their ‘January’ sale on Christmas Eve last year, I must be mad!).
For example, last week I ordered an item and found that yesterday it had been reduced £3.00, so I contacted Amazon and just a few hours later they credited my gift certificate account by £3 Very Happy An easy way to contact them for a refund is to first make sure you are logged in, then click ‘Help’, then ‘Contact Us’ –> ‘Return & Refund Questions’ –> ‘I have a question about returns that’s not listed above’, then select ‘Refund Policy Questions’, click Continue, and it will then show you which items are within the refund window and just click the ‘Add’ button to construct the email and attach a little note asking for a refund for the extra amount you paid, easy as that.
So pretty impressed with Amazon’s customer services, *almost* makes up for their lack of a decent cashback offer to Rpoints, almost… Very Happy
Oh and they’ve extended the 30 day returns period over Xmas - “Items dispatched between November 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005 may be returned until January 31, 2006 for a full refund, subject to the other restrictions of our 30-day returns guarantee”
Hope that helps someone!

Some good info on how to get an xbox 360 from game and not have to pay for the bundled games.
Basically Game sell the x-box premium with say 10 games for around £775. Under their terms and conditions you can return the games in this pack, and as they are all sold to you at full retail price you get a full refund and only pay for the xbox console itself.

I almost got an X-Box 360. Argos has it in stock on their website for home-delivery, and when I entered my address details and it confirmed it was in stock i thought great! - unfortunately after entering my card details it then said out of stock - despite it still saying in-stock on the home page. Admittedly I was going to sell it on eBay for a profit, but so do most people who get one.
So as usual the argos website is just there to temp you to buy other stuff.
On a side note, i bought a creative zen plus 1GB from argos the other day for £50 (plus free £5 voucher), and then sold it for £80 on eBay - if only they had 10 in stock in my local argos . It’s now gone back up to £90 on argos, so i bet they have loads in stock
