The server that hosted podquiz.com and jfc.org.uk died last night, and it looks like the hosting company isn't going to get it back any time soon. So much gnashing on teeth and DNS configurations, and everything's been moved to a temporary server elsewhere. There will be more disruption later when a more permanent home is found.

I suppose this is an example of getting what you pay for. It was pretty cheap given the bandwidth I use. Ho hum...

I'm off tomorrow to walk Hadrian's Wall. We're doing it in five days, and the weather seems set fair for at least four of those days, so assuming we can find food (shops seem to be quite rare along the course of the wall - I wonder where the Romans got their lunch), all should be well.

Ah... four nights in a tent with a flatulent dog - what could be better!

The My Maps feature in Google Maps is new and exciting. You've been able to do this sort of thing before using the API, and sites like Frapper have grown up around this, but that's all too much effort for most people, including me.

I've had a quick go at making my own map marking the starting points of my weekend walks. It's only got this year's walks on it, and I think it might be a bit cluttered if I put them all on, but it is quite effective.

So next time you're planning a pub crawl, this may be just the tool.

As a follow up to my list of seven favourite songs, here are some appropriate YouTube videos:

• Kings of Convenience - Winning a Battle, Losing the War
• Pink Floyd (well, just David Gilmour in this case) - Fat Old Sun
• Kraftwerk - ComputerLiebe (Computer Love in German)
• Ween - Don't Laugh, I Love You
• Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
• Steely Dan - Haitian Divorce

No luck finding the Aphex Twin track though...

I've been tagged. I don't think I'm going to tag anyone else, so I probably fail in my duty, but never mind.

Anyway, seven favourite songs. Hmm... this changes minute by minute but the current snapshop, in no particular order, is:

• Pink Floyd - Fat Old Sun
• Ween - Don't Laugh, I Love You
• Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
• Aphex Twin - Schottkey 7th Path
• Kings of Convenience - Winning a Battle, Losing the War
• Kraftwerk - Computer Love
• Steely Dan - Haitian Divorce
