BlogLines blog

Saturday, January 15th, 2005

Just noticed today that BlogLines have improved upon the editor for the clip blog. Cool, though, i’m still going to just continue with the same type of thing, just click on the “Blog This” link button and then the “Publish To Blog” button. Actually, to me it’s more of a list of links, than a [...]

Tablet PC hunting

Friday, January 14th, 2005

Have been looking around for Tablet PC’s (of the convertable variety), such as the Toshiba Portege m200. I’m also open to other suggestions. Thus far though, I think I like the m200 the most. I’ve heard good things about it from most people. Expansys seems to have a fairly good price (one of the best [...]

Internet Addiction

Thursday, January 13th, 2005

Just saw this news story about a 16 year old boy who is addicted to the internet. It is a new world we live in, one day without checking your email for example, produces many hundreds of emails to catch up on, let alone new RSS feed items from the many sources which we’ve subscribed [...]

The future is miniature pcs?

Wednesday, January 12th, 2005

Just reading through the comments in Robert Scoble’s blog post about the recently announced mac mini has given me a new thought. (oh, and looks like he got Comment Spammed right towards the end of it all… hrm) What we need is a full featured mini pc that is roughly the size of my old [...]

apple’s potential with the release of the mini-mac

Wednesday, January 12th, 2005

With the release of Mac mini, with it’s very small form factor, I’ve started to brainstorm some ideas where a computer (any computer, running any OS) of that size can be used. The specs list the device at a very small 16.51cm [6.5"] (W) x 16.51cm [6.5"] (D) x 5.08cm [2"] (H), which is very [...]

msn search results in rss format

Wednesday, January 12th, 2005

MSN Search Results are available as an RSS Feed… This is definately cool… and interesting of course, to the many that likes to keep a “grasp” of what is happening out there in the WWW. We have our favourite blogs (that support RSS), subscribed to in our favourite RSS Readers (mine at the moment is [...]

This link just came through via email, so thought i’d post it for any graduates out there job hunting and trying to “perfect” their resume (I know I spent a lot of time looking around the web for this sort of thing when I graduated!). Resume lay out advice for grads

Monday, January 10th, 2005

Just got home not long ago from a meetup with Cameron Reilly, Matt Cosier, Darren Neimke, Joseph Cooney, Martin Granell, Luke Drumm, Chris Hewitt, Kim (?) and Graeme Armstrong. (Mostly Readifiers, except for 3 of us!) Interesting night, it was the first time I had actually met many of them (only met Chris Hewitt and [...]

more on tsunami

Saturday, January 8th, 2005

You know that everyone has been touched when all three commercial TV networks set aside all their differences and jointly hold a telethon/concert to raise funds to World Vision Australia for the Tsunami aid effort. What an effort, well done to all involved! The tv show is listed as “Australia Unites Concert – Reach Out [...]
