I just needed to place an order in the USA for some hardware to sell on my Website. This involved registering for the web site, which I do not mind about. The problem I had was working out what state to put in. Each checkout basket is different. Some want you to not enter a state if you are not in the USA, some want you to find the I AM NOT IN THE USA option, and some want you to just go away and not bother them. In this one I thought it was the select any option case, but then when I answered the next question which was asking about the country, it changed the state pulldown into a freeform text area. If only the two options had been in the other order.

Not that SONY has ceased production the AIBO robotic dogs – I was going to say Killed Off, but that sounds mean – a programmer has come up with an AIBO for a mobile phone. I think the functionality is limited to total control, but I can just see someone taking this further and turning this into something similar to a tamogochi. Maybe if I got this software I would have a pet dog to call ‘BYTE’.

I also found some software on how to run the MythTV linux TV playing software on the XBOX. Personally I am not sure why I would go this concidering how good XBoxMediaCentre is getting. It seems to do everything I need – at least at the moment.
