Im still not getting what Yahoo!'s My Web 2.0 is all about. Sure it looks like a more complicated version of del.icio.us but im sure there's something else to it. I need to find some time to have a proper look at it. #
Apparantly the new Yahoo! Mail beta is super-awsomely fun. Thats all very well, but i havent tried it and i really want to! (via hicksdesign). #
I just set up another display to work with my PowerBook. Crazy! Its weird having one window stretched between two screens! #

If i had any need for a USB flash drive, im sure i would love to get the pimping OCZ Rally, sittin' on 22s! #
Some days it doesnt pay to spin your first web. #
Im doing my presentation on Threadless and i needed some logos for the slides. I went on a Google Image search and found an image for the stickers they send out with the t-shirts. Just what i needed. #
Titles on blog posts slow you down. One of the most liberating things about this tumblelog lark is getting rid of post titles! #

Crocheted Flying Spaghetti Monster dildo cozy. Best Title Ever! (via Bon). #
I read on Boing Boing ages ago about altering images on Amazon. I wanted to get an album cover without any of those discount images on. I found out: Abusing Amazon images. #

There, in a secret area off-limits even to regular GoogleFolk, is a shipping container. But it isn't just any shipping container. This shipping container is a prototype data center (via /.) #

Im enjoying a sort of routine to this tumblelog. I dont have time to mooch on the interweb during the weekend because im so busy. My links seem to be fired up during the week - im happy with that! #

Laszlo Mail. Very interesting, and probably the most desktop-like web-based email ive had a play with. The new Yahoo! Mail is supposed to be very good but as if im going to get a look at that! (via Scoble) #
What nibbl.org needs is a Google site search form so people can find things. To be honest, this would be more useful for me :) #
Cyberduck is a free FTP client for OS X. Ive been using Fetch since ive had a Mac (they gave me a free reg code because im a poor student!) and i havent tried any others though i heard Transmit was good. #
You know Microshaft is worried about Linux due to the frequency of their "independant" anti-Linux propaganda. #

About Google Analytics: "Its main highlight is that a webmaster can optimize his ad campaigns through Analytics' analysis of where the visitors came from, how long they stayed on the website, and their geographical position." (src). A bit like the fantastic Measure Map which im testing out on drinkcold.com. #

Simplicity is a tumblelog with a really nice design. Makes you sick! Bloody good designers! (via Biz) #
Remember this? Well i was mooching on del.icio.us/popular and there was a link to Google Analytics! Not entirely sure what it is yet but im investigating. #
Handy links on converting videos to MPEG4/WMV to play on Sony PSP or iPod Video. I need to get myself a phat capacity memory stick so i can try this out. #
I was impressed to hear that Microshaft will remove the evil Sony rootkit. On a similar note, wont people be encouraged to download illegal music if they think running a legal CD will break their computer? #
Stumbled on a MeFi thread about a domain registrar who are offering free .be domain names. I thought it was a bit iffy but i registered yam.be for the hell of it :) #

Buy condoms in bulk! Itll work out at 17p/condom (according to Neil Turner). #
Recently, ive been having trouble deciding what constitutes as tumblelog linkage. I guess i should stop looking for a particular format or set of rules and just do whatever i feel. When i hear tumblelog the word i think of is informal. I cant argue with that! #
This hairy crab doesnt look too hairy. Apparantly the hair is actually slime. Call it slimey crab then! #

I got an invite to Squidoo. Im well happy :) #
I wonder how this guy got an extended entry format-thingy working on his Blogger blog. Here's one post in its extended form, now go look for it on the main blog page. I think its done with some CSS trickery but i havent investigated much. #
Uncreative Uncommons Deed. Most rights denied. #
Theres a tiny computer made for cars. It goes by the (catchy) name of the SUMICOM Micro Form Factor Car PC and although i dont know anything about its performance (etc) it looks cool! #

I laughed until i cried when i read this quote from bash.org. #
First WinMX, then eDonkey and now Grokster is to shut down. #
I found two (disgusted) reactions to the Yahoo! Mail statue from Y! employees. Interestingly enough, the photos(1, 2) of it have been deleted from Flickr in an obvious disaster-containment move. No doubt they'll spring back up somewhere else. #

Ive had an itching for a Star Wars game ever since i played the excellent Lego Star Wars to bits. I saw adverts for Star Wars: Battlefront II but i wasnt sure if it was good or not. Metacritic gave it 83% which is generally favorable. Might have to take a look. #
Fuck you eBaum. I had no idea eBaum was evil. Now i do, and so do you. # | 0 cmts
I went on a Blogger page earlier and i noticed it was transferring data from a domain called google-analytics.com. It doesnt resolve but rare all the same :) #

Mail Guy's plaque. I was surprised then disappointed to see this, you've got to feel Yahoo! are somewhat obsessed. Great post on Fury about it. #
Etsy - Your place to buy and sell all things handmade. I like the shop by colour thingy on the left, its also in beta. I didnt know shops could be in beta ! #
Bound for Asia. Kottke is going to Hong Kong et al for three weeks and will be blogging as he goes! Is it really geeky that im excited about this? #
Eight-year-old physics genius enters university. Wow, thats amazing! (via Zawodny) #

Odeo Disappoints. I disagree, i was thrilled with Odeo Studio and i enjoy using it. It does have a few problems but im sure they'll get worked out over time. Im not going to stop using it, if anything, ill be using it more as its improves. #
GAME BOY MICRO. I bought one of these suckers today. Theyre so amazingly small! Mine is going to live in my coat pocket for journeys on the bus and such. Although the screen looks too small its strangely usable! #
Blogger Help : How do I moderate comments on my blog?. Blogger now lets you moderate comments. I guess i dont get enough people commenting to warrant moderation :) #
So Google Desktop has finally lost its beta status. Ive never tried Desktop, its supposed to be quite handy but ive never had the urge. #

Google Fight : Make this fight with googleFight. Flock sucks vs. Flock rocks! Via Bon. #
Houston, we have a solution without a problem at FactoryCity. Yeah its all very well to defend criticism about Flock but i still dont understand why they felt the need to release a new browser (which is based on Firefox anyway). #
~:c Trippy design! Click and drag the posts or click untumble in the top-right of the screen to display in a sensible order. #
Dave's Travel. Some dirty, dirty Apple G5 pr0n. #

November 03, 2005
Singularity. New OS by Microsoft, according to /. its "designed with an emphasis on dependability instead of performance". I wouldnt hold your breath. #
Flock Never Stood A Chance. I agree, Firefox is finally coming into its own (if it hasnt already) and i dont need another browser (especially such a mediocre one). Sorry guys, nothing personal. #
Boing Boing: Felten on Sony's rootkit-"remover" #
Firefox gains ground on IE: "More than one out of 10 surfers use Firefox as a browser" #

Google opening Manchester office. Via Neil Turner. #
Blogger Help : What is BlogThis! ?. What im using to whack up updates superfast! #
Yahoo! Maps, Driving Directions, and Traffic. Looks fine but like all Yahoo! things, its a bit over-complicated! I dont use map things that often but when i do, i use Google. #
Tumblelogs (kottke.org). Where i got the idea from. Lets see how far this goes before i get bored :) #
