Getting free of ebay

I was singing the praises of paypal to a chap at a bbq recently but he disagreed and said he was trying get free of the "whole e-bay thing."

I tried to find him on wikipedia later on, but got distracted by purchasing a webcam.

Aligning the webcam has been more tricky than I thought:










I have been suggesting we leave the web cam running while the cleaner's here, to see what she really does, but Number One was like no, that would be weird. I'm undecided. What do you think? This will be the first geckospake straw poll, vote via the comments button.

Hyde Park Montage

A short montage of photographs and other bits and pieces of jerky video in an amateur but well intended tribute to Hyde Park. No frottage in the long grass, though, you will need another website for that. Perhaps an accolade to Hampstead Heath.
