copper tears Originally uploaded by Maltpress. Just back from Budapest. Lovely, lovely place. Now utterly shattered and my feet hurt. I’m going to have tea and go to bed and put all my photos up tomorrow. Stand by for boredom… 🙂

Once again Thursday – technology Guardian day – brings us things of interest. Today it’s online video as a source of revenue. Now, for the most part I agree with the article, and it’s an exciting concept – online video has been dogged by bandwidth issues, storage, streaming, and all sorts and is only now […]

Or should that be “goodis”? Anyway, tonight I shall be exploring Labelr.com with which it is possible to tag Blogger posts. The feature which I most like about WordPress blogs and which was tempting me away.

Huh? – the archetypal consultancy. I’m not sure what’s more worrying – the fact that I recognised myself in the site, or that I found myself thinking “what a cool idea” when I read this: Our designers ride Razor scooters around the office, while wearing mail-bag style backpacks to hold their iPods. The site was […]

Blogging seems to go through peaks and troughs in terms of publicity and popularity. First it was Microsoft employee blogging (Scobleizer), then Google’s developer blogs, then the power of consumer blogs (in particular railing against Wal-Mart) – and now, as it inevitably would, it’s gone political, with David Miliband launching his own. Corporate blogs always […]

I’ve got 50-odd (very odd, some of them) photos I’m going to scan. It’s been… interesting going through them all. Scary how many of those pictured are now married; strange how I have no photos of the people I really wanted pictures of; odd some of the things I did take photos of (although I’m […]

Thursdays are Technology Guardian day. Thursdays are also fencing day, and nearly the weekend day. And I’m pretty sure my socks match today as well. So – what’s new? Well, I got very excited by Flagr last night after I discovered Swansea, where I was at uni, is in high-res on Google Maps (although Cardiff […]

I’ve got odd socks on today. It’s a combination of a low wattage energy saving light bulb, colour blindness, and oversleeping when I was supposed to drive someone to work. The end result is that I have one very dark blue sock (one of the ones which was once black and fades through blue) and […]

Yoz asked below what I thought of Ning.com, having had a play with it. First impressions – for some reason I’m thinking Sharepoint 2003. I think it’s the idea of user empowerment which a lot of web 2.0 stuff is trying to do – personal home pages, all that kind of stuff. It’s also incredibly […]

I really don’t want to be at work today. Tired. Didn’t get a huge amount done this weekend except fixing a really stupid CSS mistake (well, more act of laziness than mistake) on my CV page. Which looks – at the moment – awful. My design skills really need some work. I say I didn’t […]
