My Moo Cards arrived today! They are smaller than I imagined – about half the size of a conventional business card. The unusual size and shape makes them distinctive for a start. How much more distinctive depends on how well you choose the pictures to go on them. The quality is very good. They are […]

Downtime update
September 22nd, 2006 · 3 Comments · Technology
Thanks to the quite brilliant Montastic which Andrew W recommended the other day, I now have a better idea of how often this site is unavailable. I registered on Montastic sometime during the morning. Late morning I think. Since then I have been notified of 5 periods of unavailability, ranging from 5 minutes to at […]
Free Stuff!
September 21st, 2006 · Comments Off on Free Stuff! · Music
It has been a good month so far for free stuff. I love free stuff. I don't think I'm mean – just careful. (The difference? If you are careful you get excited by free stuff. If you are mean you get visibly aroused by it.) First of all there was some free music from eMusic […]
Free music!
September 13th, 2006 · 4 Comments · Music
There has been a bit of a stir caused by a new music site called eMusic which is supposed to compete with Apple's iTunes site. Having seen sites like Napster, Wippit, Coke music and all the rest come along and fail to make a dent I am usually resistant to the hype, but I thought […]
IT Managers

John Paschoud will appreciate this…. I had hoped to link to this story which a co-worker brought to my attention for some amusement, but it seems to have disappeared from the vnunet site. It is still in their list of news, and appears if you search for "IT managers" but the article itself has vanished. […]

When I saw the headline for this story on the front page of the BBC News site I really though it might be a bit different…

Something to watch while waiting for Snakes on a Plane to hit the cinemas…
Redwatch
July 17th, 2006 · 10 Comments · Politics
The other day I noticed a surge in visits from a site called Redwatch. Surge is probably over-stating it a bit: as at yesterday I had 16 hits from 9 different IP addresses. Not much of a surge really. More of a blip. But I thought I would head over to Redwatch to see what […]

Websites as graphs
June 4th, 2006 · Comments Off on Websites as graphs · Technology
This pretty picture is what this site looks like as a graph. Each colour dot represents a different type of HTML code tags. The red ones are table tags for example. Beyond that I’m a bit sketchy on the details – I just know it looks good. You can laugh, but you know you will […]
Catch it while you can

The website referred to in this story from the news yesterday can be found here at the moment, but obviously there is a chance of it disappearing since it is subject to a police investigation at the moment. Comments have been disabled, but there is a lively discussion about it here. The BBC call it […]
