Glad to know that Dan found Writely after checking out my blog. He’s dead ‘write’, the timestamp is way off and I’ll put this into some feedback for the Writely dudes and dudettes.
Â
It’s a good point Dan makes about using Wiritely to post to a blog. I just find the edit interface that blogger provide [...]

A BitTorrent user in Hong Kong has been found guilty of movie piracy having shared a variety of ‘Hollywood blockbusters’ from his PC. Surely Daredevil, Miss Congeniality and Red Planet cannot be regarded as ‘blockbusters’.

Thanks to Dan for the invite to Wordpress.com. I’ll be looking over the features. Quite impressed with the categories option as it definitely makes it easier to ‘label’ postings.
I’ve also just renewed my .mac subscription so I’ll be looking to make better productive use of the web space that I get from that. Got some [...]

I’ve been using Flock for a few days now to post to ‘menori’ and finding it to be incredibly useful. To not have to have a separate application just to do a simple posting is great. Yes, blogger offers the ‘blogthis’ javascript link option, but I’m a bit traditionalist and do prefer proper clients over [...]

I had a jaunt into Birmingham today and for the first time visited the Apple Store in the Bull Ring centre near Selfridges. For a while the Micro Anvika shop inside Selfridges had been the only way to get hands on with Apple’s latest kit. Nothing compares to the variety and layout of an Apple [...]
