  • Twitter and it’s fourty minute delay

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteToday twitter has reminded me of why I dislike how it’s managed. With the big Mac World event and CES twitter is down, for the count. The problem is that these crafty people have decided that rather than take the site down completely they would let it lag. As a consequence…

  • Picasa for Mac

    Reading Time: < 1 minutePicasa is now available for mac and it works well. It works so well it took just 30 seconds for me to crash the application. On a more serious note Picasa is an interesting application that auto indexes all of your pictures in the Pictures folder and indexes your images within…

  • TwitterFriends

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteTwitterfriends is another of those interesting tools to see who you converse with most on twitter. You can see who replies to you most, who you reply to most, the sphere of influence and more. As a result it’s a good tool with which to establish who are the interesting people…

  • Qik, Snowfall

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteHere, some qik snowfall, on the last day of the year

  • Tweetgrid – a tool to make sense of it.

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteYesterday someone twittered about tweetgrid, a simple to use web interface that allows you to see, in real time what people are tweeting about. It filters as many key words to chose and dedicates one portion of the screen per word. If you select four words then you can watch as…

  • The idiocy of the Mobile flickr website (or why I hate Iphone optimised mobile websites)

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteFlickr had a mobile website that worked well because it was developed for all mobile devices. As a result I was getting into the habit of taking pictures, amending the title and adding comments whilst on the move. Recently though, the mobile developers at Flickr decided to do what every narrow…

  • Der baader Meinhof-Komplex

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteThere are some films we may not intentionaly go to see. Der Baader Meinhof-Komplex is one of them. The English title is The Baader Meinhof Complex. The film takes a look at the beginning of theRed Army Faction, in Germany. It is based on the book The “Baader-Meinhof Group” by Stefan…

  • Le meur, Seesmic and some images

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhilst everyone that was present at the Paris Seesmeetup has gone home to their day to day lives the images taken are still doing the rounds. I noticed that two of my images were included in Loic Le meur’s blog. Normally all the Francofous should be able to name every shown.…

  • Blogobar Neuchatel

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteOne of the most amusing things about the blogobar meetup in Neuchatel was how many iphones were there. It was particularly amusing to see the time spent look at apps, trying to see which was the most fun. Of course we didn’t travel from various parts of Switzerland for that sole…

  • The N95 8gb, google maps and navigation

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteIf it’s something geeky you’ll see me learn how to use it. The most recent thing I’ve played with is the n95 8gb and google maps. This time though it was from a car rather than on foot and as a result it was far quicker to correct a mistake. I…
