Not much more than cross linking, but after much searching I found a great resource on debranding an N95. Make sure you read the comments as they add some missing details the author left out. It does require Windows but Parallels works fine. I’ll update this post once I’ve finally finished nuking the Orangeness off […]
How many executives actually blog? I was reading an article on the head of the BBC world service who is a prolific blogger that prompted me to wonder. After putting together the Yahoo Blog Directory I noticed that Bradley Horowitz blogs. I found it interesting that Jerry Yang used Yodel Anecdotal to talk about the […]
I love Opera on my phone. However it does cost money. They also make a stripped down version which works on virtually anything using the power of J2ME. Opera Mini is now in Beta 4 and man does it look good. Arve Bersvendsen wrote some great commentary on Opera Mini including screenshots of it passing […]
I just made a directory of Yahoo blogs and Yahoo employee bloggers. Please let me know if you see any mistakes or missing blogs, there is a comment form at the bottom of the page.

For our 1st anniversary Rosemarie and I had a meal at The Gate. It’s one of those places with a great reputation that has been recommended to me but I never quite made it to. Now we live another 10 miles away, of course we have.
Finding our way their was slightly strange, it’s just around […]

I’ve been playing with a neat little app on my N95. It’s called Cell Spotting. The idea is to collect the IDs and locations of Mobile phone cell towers. On each network you can assign a name to an area (collection) of towers. You can name each Tower, and describe some information about it such […]
Simple rule. It works for me. “You are worth talking to, and they are worth talking to.” As soon you grasp this simple concept you can find the courage to talk to anyone and listen to them and their ideas. Eventually you will get to the point when you find out something worth knowing.
I will […]
Wow. I’m beat.
Hackday was fantastic. Other people I’m sure are going to comment on the hacks and the band and other things. The range and breadth of the people who came, was fabulous. They provided a wash of skills ideas and talent. I think while Yahoo and the BBC organised it, it was the people […]
I like Orange. I’ve been with them for a long time. Whenever I upgrade they are very competitive. However just before I got my N95 they cancelled all their data plans, and caused me to write this blog post.
I called Orange back yesterday and spoke to someone who was very pleasant, but not able to […]
Even the setting up was fun. God knows what a riot the rest will be.

Recently I’ve noticed a couple of post by friends of mine which have been really good pithy bits of advice. In particular Marco on Javascript and Ed Eliot on conditional Adsense. However, what struck me with these is I was either there when the topic was being discussed or has blogged about it previously.
I’m glad […]
My wife got some great green advice while out shopping today. One of the pamphlets (now in our recycling bin) pointed us to MPS Online. This is a free service which is similar to the Green Dimes service Nate blogged about. It’s a free service in the UK that allows you to opt out of […]
So there was a geek dinner tonight with Jyri from Jaiku. I have to say it was a very different crowd from normal, if there is such a thing for geek dinners. Maybe it’s just regulars plus transients interested in the speaker.
Anyway Jyri is a great speaker, very smart and funny. His thoughts on Web […]
Some of the features of Leopard look cool. However, having just digested a skin-full of WWDC posts I’m just kinda meh. While there is some interesting stuff mentioned on Lifehacker, The Unofficial Apple Weblog and others, I still find one thing more exciting than anything. A new version of Quicksilver. That’s right a 3rd party […]
Christian made some excellent points about not corporate bashing. It made me think of when Molly announced she was working with the Internet Explorer team. Half the comments were bad mouthing the product not congratulating her and them on taking a step forward. It says to me that Web Development still isn’t a profession. It […]
I’ve been having a productive weekend and clearing out all the “to read” chaff in my feed reader. Rather than writing an actual post today I thought I’d highlight my link blog which almost always includes commentary. Lots on there at the moment because of the clean-up.
You can subscribe to my link blog via RSS […]
Sometimes I get really sick of Orange. I’ve been with them a long time. There are some things I really like, such as their phone insurance which is the best in the industry. However, they’re pricing plans are really getting me down again.
When I upgraded to my Nokia N95 I asked them about data plans. […]
We’ve been playing a lot of Wee Wars at work since I saw it on TechCrunch. It’s kind of like Risk, but more complex. Good with multiple players.
Let me know (tom_croucher@yahoo.com) if you want an invite and I’ll send you one to a game you can join.
