This has to be the future now I've added geoURL coordinates to my website I can use their find feature to find all sites close to mine in Cambridge. This is so awesome, to find fellow neighbouring bloggers. Obviously most of them university students but the sites are certainly very good. All these within one mile of me in Cambridge UK eg
Lisa de Araujo http://nicelytoasted.net/
Liz Batty http://www.singlelensreflex.co.uk/
Colin Hoad http://galileo.spaceports.com/~cjhoad/index.html
David Redhouse http://www.arch.cam.ac.uk/~dir21/
Kevin O'Rourke http://www.caboose.org.uk/
Max Salvén http://max.salven.com/
Dave http://www.bopbopbop.net/rldd/index.php
Adrian McEwen http://chortle.org.uk/blog/mcfilter/

and in the future local shops etc etc
Stupid bloggerpro did it again. I had edited my site. Of cause this made it lose my blog. So I tried reposting the blog came up with stupid errors saying that it can't be published. So I removed all settings in publisher on blog, saying I was going to rehost it on their site! Then retyped in original ftp settings and hey presto it worked
Updated website with GeoURL coordinates
Now tried adding a RSS (Rich Site Summary) feed to my blog - will it screw everything up again?
Yep it did came up with this error:-
500 500-"STOR http://www.geoffjones.com/blogger_rss.xml" Command not understood
back to drawing board!
Thanks nick for this url of map a mobile an other UK based mobile phone location service to compete with fleet online who i blogged a while ago.
Last night Colin and I went to Jo's comedy madhouse at 55 Brewer Street. Soho. To see The Comedy Terrorist do his stuff.
The club is in the basement of the The Glasshouse Store. About 50 people turned up (Its a small basement room) to see him MC Phil Nichol, Lloydy the Illegal Streettrader, Phil Zimmerman, Larry Bernstein and The Hitman.
The Comedy Terrorist came in dressed as a Beefeater (well someone has to guard The queen) he started by reading The Sun's article on him, quite funny. He said the high point was screwing The Daily Mail readers for loads of money
Q. How do you pay of your mortgage, loans etc etc
A. Climb over the wall at Windsor Castle.
In his next sketch he was dressed in the orange jumpsuit of the prisoners at Guantanamo where he mocked Bush's Road Map of Palestine / Israel by producing a doctored Monopoly board - very funny! especially tipping in the centre a full ashtray and putting in the houses and comparing it to a township.

At the end he wore his tasteful pink dress. As he says he has a long way to go to capitalise on all the free publicity he has received (It was a spur of the moment thing) although actually as an MC he could be pretty good, I guess. He doesnt seem to have an agent. I have his mobile number if anyone needs to book him.

My favourite was Lloydy the illegal street trader - very funny. Lets hope Colin books him for his staff party.

A splendid evening, must do it more often, about one hour from my house to Soho and £12 train fare. A bargain night out in Soho.

ps The Beefeater image was taken by Colin using a Nokia 7250 mobile, its a 12K pixel image no flash.
tricked it - made it post to the blogger domain which it didnt allow! then re-entered previous settings to my website - and it worked. Obviously a bug in the blogger software. Problem is I destroyed my lovely blue template!
