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 […]
It’s only a matter of time before Web 2.0 becomes sick of my fawning and tells me to leave it alone, resulting in me hiding in its garden at night and stealing underwear from its washing line. But until then I will continue the puppy-dog eyes thing. Today’s great looking bit of kit has the […]
Changes continue apace on www.maltpress.co.uk (which this blog now also appears on). If you visit the site you’ll see some links appearing, most of which lead to a lovely Apache 404 page not found – sorry, but I’ve set up my test server wrong, and overwritten the old site. Anyway, the new version is starting […]
Right, the day job just took over entirely. Done some nice projects; made some very good contacts; got to know the lovely people at Pixelwork and learnt a lot from them. Learnt a new content management system, RedDot. Found out how long it takes to sort hosting out. Fell in love with Web 2.0 even […]
Day-job work has been very, very busy but very, very interesting. I’m doing some major site work at the moment, have just been to a content management conference and – I have to admit – I’m working too many hours. But I’m quite enjoying it. More updates as soon as I get a bit more […]
