So a fringe benefit of the server being down today was I noticed that my blog hasn’t been updating. I’m not sure exactly why yet, I think it’s something to do with a cron job that is mucking about with the database. I’m going to be back posting the missing items, but not all at […]
Neil and I went to Dorkbot last night. I love Dorkbot but I haven’t been to one in about 8 months. We arrived at a smarter venue than the previous ones I’ve been to. They were having it in an art space near in the East End. We got collared by some from the art […]
Simon Willison linked to Feedwhip. I love this idea. It’s very much like a Mac OSX App I’d been using, Changes Meter. The basic idea is that it provides an RSS feed to changes that happen on a web page that doesn’t have a feed. I use my feed reader a lot for all sorts […]
Telexy have released a beta of SymSMB 2.0. You need to sign the application to your IMIE so you can use. I wrote a guide on how to sign SIS applications because it turned out not to be very obvious.

Nokia wants to protect you from all the bad boogymen in internetland. It insists that all fully signed S60 applications go through a QA procedure. I think this is a good thing. The last thing I want is a virus chomping up my expensive data rate on my mobile phone. However it does mean you […]
After the talk I gave this week one of my colleagues, Norm recommended ThisService. Similar to Platypus ThisService lets you make services out of scripts. The Daring Fireball blog has a good example of ThisService in action to do Google lucky searches.
Services combined with Menu-master to assign shortcuts are pretty awesome. Although you can also […]
This is a Keynote talk I did at work as a fill-in for our Lightning Talk series. Marco asked me to publish it. It’s reasonably sparse but all these apps were chosen because I think they are useful in some meaningful way. They aren’t in any particular order and this is certainly not an exhaustive […]
The lovely Dorward invited me to play Settlers of Catan with Neil.
It’s a great board game that takes place on an island called Catan. The players complete to become the dominant force on the island. While there is no actual combat in standard game there are several ways to be passively aggressive. This means that […]
Today everyone’s favourite FOSS project, The Mozilla Foundation, are in my good books.
While tracking down some weird bug at work. I found out the that all those talkbacks you submit when your browser crashes are publicly available. This is super if you are getting reported issues with Firefox on your site. Working with your knowledge […]

Sometimes I wonder if I’m mad to use Firefox for anything more than development.

I love iGTD. It’s an awesome piece of software. Bartek works really hard on it and it has a thriving community. Mostly Bartek announces new releases on a thread on the iGTD forums. The forums software is PHP Bulletin Board.
However it commits a heinous crime against feeds. While I do browse the forums, I only […]
My feed seems to have been not feeding the last couple of days. I’ve mucked about with it a bit. Hopefully normal service is being resumed now. Sorry for the minor post flood.

So I was doing some DIY for my Wife’s next art show in a couple of weeks and I picked up some stuff from Wickes. What really got up my nose was the £5 minimum to purchase using my card. I wanted to spend £4.77 but I couldn’t purchase my items without finding another 23p. […]
Really busy day helping my wife with stuff so just a quick observation about my Nokia N95. The bluetooth file transfer seems super quick compared to my N80. Even though the images are bigger it seems like I’m downloading them faster. My Mac says it’s going over 100kb/s. Which isn’t half bad. Hell, I remember […]
The “final” draft of the WCAG 2 got knocked back for revisions. The working group has released its first draft after making revisions which it says address all the comments. I got an email from Judy Brewer who heads the WAI asking for comments by 27th April 2007. If you haven’t already seen this draft […]
There was a story which has been buzzing around this week about Flickr. This is something that has always scared my wife about using Flickr. One of the Flickr’s users, Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir, found that a company in Britain was printing and selling her work on Ebay without her permission. They gave her no royalties no […]
Monitizing more mad than usual. Apparently Jelly Belly my favourite (gelatine-free) jelly bean manufacturer makes perfume?!

Kestrell posted something that made me really sad. Why I wish Yahoo would just stop trying to b***s*** me that they care about accessibility expresses her frustration using the Yahoo groups product.
As someone who’s spent a lot of time trying to improve the state of accessibility on the web, I find it especially disheartening that […]
