• ImmovableType

    Normally I’m not one to get frustrated with MovableType (my blogging software) but today I’m a little upset that it’s not doing what I would like it to. I decided to retro-fit some new categories to my blog and stumbled upon the complete absence of a batch editor of any value at all. The current…

  • openeID OpenID to be combined with eID – an accepted and proven, secure identity in Europe. I wonder if people will be forced to be themselves in time to come? (tags: openid eid europe identity authentication web secure)

  • It’s only a wet day (well a snowy one anyway) since I changed the look of my blog template. Doing that however, made the other residue on my site look like a heap of crap. So, I then changed the rest of the site pages to something more pleasing. I then decided that having the…

Well that’s what happened to Paul Trider when he woke up on a flight from Delhi to London, to find the flight crew manoeuvering a body…

  • The Day Before Tomorrow Originally uploaded by jbwan. Upon waking up this morning, the garden was covered with snow, my wheelie bins were strewn across the yard and my fence was blown down. We need a better term than “global warming”!

  • Some time ago I set out to achieve something in the blogosphere: To improve my level of visibility in the world and to measure that using Technorati. I have been doing a number of things to help with this, some of which I will divulge others are trade secrets. 🙂 When I started my journey…

  • After many years of following the legal battles of the RIAA and cringing at everything that has happened, from suing 12-year-olds to claiming that they are oh so poor, this has to be the best yet. The RIAA have now explained why they are suing everyone from kids to adults, but especially kids. Apparently if…
