jonmaim - May 5, 2009 Looking forward to it :)) Have a great day (hopefully sunny) !!

Minsh is launching tomorrow and I will be meeting with them to record an interview with them about the website. They’re university students who did this as one of their projects. Minsh is a 3d virtual environment in which twitter users are represented as fish swimming in the ocean. Each fish is a different twitter user. I saw this project in pre alpha and it’s an interesting idea. Tomorrow I will see how it’s evolved and I hope to have a video up by Friday lunchtime which will help you understand what the website is about.

Satellite television broadcasting is an interesting field to looik into, especially now that there are thousands of channels available on a multitude of satellites. Over the past two days I have been learning about the Nanox HDTV recording device. What I like about using the Nanox receiver is the ability to see stream information, what format is being broadcast as well as resolution. What’s interesting is that some satellite channels are broadcasting at full HD quality whilst others are broadcasting at no more than 576*352 for example.

Mark Douglass - Apr 2, 2009 I second that motion! :-), I was thinking of translating and subtitling in English, but that would require me listening to myself.

And there you have it, me speaking about twitter. As promised - update - I’m happy with all the positive reactions this video is having. Thank you.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of someone deciding to spend a good portion of the day with me, something that is quite rare. It’s also something that is important to a topic that I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about. How much of your time do you give to others, and what would you like to receive in exchange for that time. I ask this because whilst Kutcher and CNN are turning followers into a commodity I value the dialogue that I have with those that I follow, and that follow me.

Nambu is a desktop client for Twitter available only to users of Leopard 10.5. What makes this application great is that it has automatic threading of conversations, making it easier to keep track of conversations. The multi-column to single column view is also easy to interact with and creating groups and adding friends is a breeze. As a result of it’s intuitive nature it’s a pleasure to use this application There are two views that make it amazingly easy to see what your twitter friends have hyperlinked to.

Today I was pleasantly surprised after racketing in the mountains to discover that my phone’s battery had not depleted. I was using sportstracker for over two hours and some charge was still left after an hour and a half. There was so much battery left in fact I went for nine more kilometers of walking and still the battery is healthy. That’s not the only thing that’s improved. Now you have maps.

richard - Apr 3, 2009 It’s warzabidul, I don’t remember what your username was for last year. It’s warzabidul as it was last time. I’m still thinking of characters and ideas at the moment.

Remember when I wrote 50,000 words in one month? Today’s challenge is a little different. From tomorrow, and for the next 30 days I will have the task of writing 100 pages for a script within 30 days. That’s about three pages a day and it shouldn’t be too hard. I’ve done a lot of transcribing so I know dialogue when I hear it. I did also have to study it in uni.
