We had a great time on our trip to Oxford last weekend … I took quite a few pics, particularly of the landscape while on the train but many didn’t turn out so well. The trip itself was great, we took a full bus tour and saw most of the interesting sites, from Christ Church to the Carfax tower and the [Museum of the History of Science](http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/). They’ve got an original blackboard there on which Einstein scribbled some equations for determining the age of the Universe! It’s pretty cool to see that.Overall Oxford seems a pretty small and tightly knit town which is absolutely full to the brim with students. I have never seen so many bicycles in my life! All the campuses and colleges, etc are so close together in a small space that students simply ride their bikes to wherever they need to go. All those bicycles reminding me of China in a way.

I’ve put up the best pictures I could find at [Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/kerneljack). The best thing about Flickr is that you can simply search for all pictures tagged with “oxford” and you will see a LOT more than we got to get; there are just so many people taking pictures and uploading them to Flickr that you can find pictures from almost anywhere.

Having written about podcasting in the last post, I was reading this month’s [Wired](http://www.wired.com) magazine when I came across the word pspcasting and was perplexed I hadn’t come across it before. It’s basically a way to use RSS again to sync a video file from a feed and then convert it into a format that the PSP can play back. Some good info on it is [here](http://www.pspvideo9.com/pspcasting.html), [here](http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2005/03/pspcasting.html), and [here](http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000033038817).

Some superb testing for virus infections has been done by the F-Secure folks on the Toyota Prius. For now, they have disproved the myth that the car can be infected with a bluetooth virus such as Cabir. Read the full post on their blog [here](http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-052005.html#00000553). Further down in the same blog they have pictures of what it looks like when your phone starts to get infected with Cabir. The easiest solution in this case? Walk away from the immediate vicinity and the annoying pop-up should disappear. It’s not always obvious, especially for the average phone user, but this will get rid of that annoying pop-up.
