I’ve decided to start using my BlogLines blog.
Basically my intentions is, post links to whatever I see interesting in the blogs i’ve subscribed to.
So, it’ll be a bit like my own version of the Scoble LinkBlog.
On the left hand side of there, you will see all of the blogs i’m subscribed to listed.

So, it’s the 150th anniversary of the Eureka Stockade uprising in the goldfields of Ballarat, in Victoria.
Have just listened to the first two g’day world podcasts by Cameron Reilly and Mick Stanic, and that reminded me about reading the news (during lunch break) about something which played quite a significant part of Australian history. (That [...]

Back in September, I posted about possibly a Aussie Geek Web Ring.
Fast forward to now, i’ve still got nothing up. But I reckon now is about time.
