Webcam in the bedroom

A man saw a burglary taking place in his house whilst he was out, he was able to call the police and watch it taking place via his home webcam. We often think about how amazing this story is.

Apparently people often install these cameras in their bedrooms and broadcast to the whole world over the world wide web. Mr Tara Plumbing thinks this is a great idea and that we should get one too. Why would any one want to watch me tossing and turning… in my sleep. Oh, of course, Mr Tara Plumbing isn’t thinking about sleeping.  He must be thinking about watching the house when we are away. All robbers know that everyone keeps their valuables under the mattress so that is the first place they’d go for.

Anyway, we’ve now got Vista. It does not come with any warning about difficulties loading Lotus - so you need to go to some geek web forum and find out about it if, like me, you would like to continue accessing all the financial records which were maintained on Lotus 123 spreadsheets.

In the Tara Plumbing household we love using technology as a means to an end. We do not love the process of installing and learning to use new stuff… that is why I’ve been quiet lately - we’ve been technically challenged with our PC troubles (not politically (in-) correct).

Finally

Touch Me I’m Karen Taylor. If you missed this debut comedy series you can view it again Saturday night BBC3, I highly recommend it. If you share my humour you will love it. On the other hand you might find it dull, offensive, childish… toilet humour and sexual innuendo.  I think it is very modern, C21 feminist comedy.
