First of the big changes begun
Feb 24th
There are a few changes happening on the site at the moment. One of the big changes is the inclusion of Twitter related services being integrated into the site. My tweets on Twitter.com now show up as “asides” or “mini-posts” on the blog. They will not show up in the RSS feed, but they will…
Google releases Google Latitude
Feb 5th
Those of you that communicate with me often know that I use a service called Fring to communicate when I’m out and about on my cellphone. Aside from the voice and IM chat features of Fring, which are pretty damn good, they also support location aware features that allow me to publish my current location…
I’ve seen 138 out of 239 films
Dec 28th
David Farrar saw this on Facebook and decided to blog it. He then said the rest of us have to. Well, I can barely remember yesterday and can barely count beyond 20, but I’ll do my best. SUPPOSEDLY if you’ve seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are…

Unfortunately I started finding that in my own general browsing of the web, I was reading articles that later showed up on Slashdot. I was reading the…
About Fringing time!
Jul 30th

Why I deactivated my Facebook account
Nov 11th
There comes a point when a service gets too big. Facebook has hit that state for me. According to Mark Zuckerberg at a recent press event to announce new features, Facebook now exceeds 50,000,000 registered users of which 25,000,000 unique people visit Facebook everyday. Facebook is doubling in size every 6 months and the users…
