The Sony UX180P comes with 2 Built-in Cameras (front: 0.3M pixels and back: 1.3M pixels) which although handy is not much better than a modern mobile phone.

I personally wouldn’t use it in preference to a digital camera but it can be quite useful in situations where you’ve left behind the camera and you need to take a quick picture or video.

Below is a small video taken with the UX180P of our pet rabbit Bugs.

This is a slightly blown up version of the original but does give an idea of what to expect. What surprised me was the amount of background noise picked up by the built in microphone. What you can hear on the film is the fan or maybe hard disk or a combination of the two. In the reality of using the UX180P you wouldn’t actually notice these sounds.

In a previous post I mentioned that Davina had said for “legal reasons” Bonnie and Sezer weren’t going to be allowed to go back in the house as part of Channel 4’s decision to put 4 of the evicted housemates back into the house next door.

Well I wasn’t sure why this was so I did a little digging around and have found the answer to my own question.

Apparently as reported on Sky News, Sezer was arrested by the police and due to answer bail on the 17th August.

Bonnie meanwhile is on police bail over Pizza theft claims according to the Daily Record.

So if like me you didn’t know the reasons before, now you do.

Added a new photo gallery to the site yesterday. There’s not much to see yet but I’ll be uploading loads of pictures over the next few weeks.

For now I have included some cute pictures of the pets and some shots taken from around where I live.

When Nikki was evicted in Week 8 of the show I was really shocked. My girlfriend and I just couldn’t believe it and I don’t think we were alone. When she left the Big Brother house she was greeted with the loudest cheers and chants of “Nikki”, “NiKki” and Davina also commented saying it was like a final night and she had never seen anything like this before.

So how did she go? Who on earth voted for her?

The house didn’t seem the same after she left. We missed her constant tantrums and her funny ways with words. But all is not lost.

Channel 4 have decided to put 4 of the previously evicted housemates back into the house next door and as always we get to decide who so if you want to see Nikki again then join us in voting for her to go back in.

The housemates you can nominate to go back in are:

Grace
Jayne
Lea
Lisa
Michael
Mikey
Nikki
Sam
Spiral
Susie

Davina made a comment that for “legal reasons” Bonnie and Sezer weren’t going to be allowed to go back in. What’s that all about?

Google looks like it has updated it webmaster sitemaps tool and added a few new features.

I notice you can now set a preference to have your site show up with or without the www in front of your domain. They may save a lot of problems with duplicate content where webmasters haven’t setup redirects and have identical pages for both www and without.

I also noticed a crawl rate link which is maybe something for the future as it goes to a 404 page not found.

On the main diagnostics page for your site it also alerts you to any problem areas you may have whereas before you had to dig a little deeper before you found those.

All in all some nice little changes and worth a look.
