Child friendly place to eat good food along the Thames...
Ant replied to CamberwellOz's topic in The Lounge
Where along the Thames? South Bank? Pizza Express is very easy for doing with kids; there's one there. -
Hm, we have been a bit quiet lately haven't we?
-
Background music on websites. Useless flash introductions. Pointless faff that gets in the way of the information I want to find.
-
Not to excuse every single buggy pusher, but just because a kid can walk it doesn't follow that they can walk far enough without tiring. If you're out for a while or going a long (for them) way you'll still need the buggy.

I've always thought she sounded rather like one of the receptionists at the Dulwich Medical Centre.

And listening to the tape (tape, mind; flimsy and prone to tangling!) go SKREEEEEEEEEEIIIII-AAAAUGH, SKRIIIIII-AAAUGH while mesmerised by the blue and yellow lines.

It's a game. There are proper rules and and there's league and everything. But I can't tell you any more; I've already said too much.
-
People who merely swing their legs a little bit to the side to let you out of the window seat on the bus rather than standing up. They never leave enough room for you to get past.

People in their 20s. Dithering kidults. (Gout. The cussed Whigs.) *stomps off to get pension*

Digital Rights Management. Little bits of software embedded within digital product (music, DVDs, probably eBooks too) that defines what you are allowed to do with it: how many times you can install it and on how many different computers, whether or not you can copy it, print it, stuff like that.
-
Ah, but then what about DRM?
-
They might be useful in some certain cases, but they're not the only way of getting things done. Taking them away doesn't instantly mean that Little Johnny (no matter how old he is) won't be found, just like putting them there doesn't instantly mean that he will.

I don't think ebooks are really for fiction. I think they're for reference and perhaps textbooks. (Although can you highlight stuff on them? Can you annotate stuff?)

They started selling them at Watersone's the other day. They shifted about 50 in the big Piccadilly branch - and they were also on sale at a further 200+ branches. (No figures for sales across the whole chain yet.) http://www.thebookseller.com/news/66532-waterstones-sells-50-sonys-at-piccadilly.html

People can be worried about crime without there actually being any crime, whereas the laws of the road are objective fact. I can't see how the two go together, Keef.
-
Well if that's the case it's worked, as here we are talking about them. Does this count as murketing?

I don't agree, SteveT and PGC. I don't agree at all, and think that the argument you're making is actually quite a dangerous one. This article sets out much better than I could ever do why this is so. http://www.wired.com/politics/security/commentary/securitymatters/2006/05/70886

I'm going to get one and fill it with hundreds of books, then I'll put all the pages into shuffle mode. Should make for interesting reading.

Pfeh, eBooks? What a load of old tosh. I like to read pop-up books; I'd like to see them deal with that!

He's probably hoping you'll take on some of his interests in return. Cycling, flirting with YouTube and voting Tory, for instance. Either that or he's on the pull.

Moos, that is mighty fine. -
I've been following that series - 57.2% of my average survey group agree that it's good stuff.

The American Garden in Dulwich Park is a particular favourite for me. Sydenham Woods too (although perhaps they don't count as ED).
