Beta 3 is out and the new OS fixes the non-working Youtube from the previous beta. [Update: and also breaks syncing, which now hangs on "Syncing contacts..."] [Update2: Seems like the contacts syncing hang was a temporary issue...]
As the first example of my Tienda.co.uk project, we’ve just launched slant1996.com which sells slightly mad t-shirt designs!
I recently helped out updating a friend’s online shop: Nunoya in Barcelona. As well as the obvious stock of kimono and other clothing items, they have some cool accessories. But my favourites are the Kokeshi, which I don’t remember having seen before – slightly mad (in a good way) dolls that look a bit like [...]

Hero to every geek, most likely, and certainly one of mine. 90 isn’t a bad age for anyone, I think, and if you happen to be able meld science fiction and “real” science for most of that time, unbeatable. I think the fact that he wrote sci-fi that was so fact-checked and rigourous that it forms [...]
This is an interesting idea, that seems slightly mad at first, then starts to make perfect sense once you think about it. Then it seems really obvious. Then it makes me think about that fact that I already provide this service to family members! Cool.
Flicking through the in-flight mag on Monarch ZB516 I came across a chilling truth.
The Guardian’s comment is free… has a nice piece entitled Saddam: a tribute by David Cox in which he talks about the frightening slide of Iraq from unacceptable repression into completely unmanageable chaos on the way to Armageddon.
It seems a little daft to me that you’d set up your RSS feed to include images, then block image download by referer, when by definition, the referer isn’t going to be the feed’s home site.
This is quite a mad one – and yet obvious when you think about it. Pottery from thousands of years ago carries an ambient recording superimposed into the work of the artesan. A Belgian team have managed to extract the recording from a 6,500 year-old South American vase and some 1,000 year-old Latin from another [...]
Very nice looking interface to multiple RSS feeds from around the world. Check it out. [Flash.] via Ektopia
As a huge sigh of relief escapes most web front end developers around the world following Microsoft’s news of their dropping of IE for Mac, I’m quite looking forward to the fact that we’ll be able to test XHTML/CSS on Mac browsers that are more or less sane. It’s fairly amusing seeing MS recommend Safari [...]
For some reason, I saw Scoopt, thought it was a great idea, and neglected to write anything about it here! Anyway, allow me to do so now… From their FAQ: What is Scoopt? Scoopt is a media agency that has been created specifically to help members of the public sell photographs [...]
Wow! We just got back from a tricky problem with the server… Gentoo (of which I’m still somewhat of a fan) decided to do some, er, interesting changes to config in the last emerge. Thanks to Pete at Bytemark for some great help to get back online.
I just watched the BBC’s video highlights (see main page) of George Galloway on Capitol Hill. I know, as most sane people know, that much of what constitutes American politics (don’t even mention “justice”) isn’t built on intelligent reasoning, but if that is the best Senator-lawyer combination they can come up with, it’s quite a [...]
