Eight Random Things

AKA eight semi-random feeds

After being tagged by Gary for the Eight Pieces of Ran­dom meme and put­ting it off, Kay pushed me into action by her response Eight ran­dom things? You’ll be sorry…. So here are eight feeds from my feed reader, not exactly ran­dom as I picked the less obvi­ous feeds to highlight.

1 Rasa Malay­sia

I abso­lutely adore Malay­sian cuisine and at least twice a week you will find me in Singa­pore Indian Malay Cuisine or Pen­ang Food Res­taur­ant. Rasa Malay­sia is full of recipes and glor­i­ous pho­tos of food. And one of the reas­ons I cooked Mee Goreng for din­ner tonight.

2 Andy Moore

I am devel­op­ing an increas­ing interest in devel­op­ing for the mobile web. Andy has been devel­op­ing mobile sites in the UK for a few years, his site has ideas, tips and the odd inter­est­ing stat.

3 Present­a­tion Zen

My present­a­tions did not improve that quickly without help. This blog really helped, plenty of advice and great examples.

4 Site Vista

The people behind SiteV­ista a Browser­Cam com­pet­itor, who also does email test­ing and CSS­V­ista a free tool which allows live edit­ting of CSS in IE. Their blog is an interest read, though not updated all that often.

5 Web­log Tools Collection

Daily updates on plu­gins and themes for word­press. If you use Word­Press a def­in­ite addi­tion to you feeds along with Alex King so you keep up to date with all you need for a Word­Press blog.

6 The Trif­fids

Though the feed is a little dif­fi­cult to find http://thetriffids.com/news/public/rss.xml. I have been a fan of the Trif­fids since 1983. Even though David McComb passed away in 1999, Evil Gra­ham Lee still man­ages to find old tracks to interest me.

7 Notes From Coode Street

I worked with Jonathan at DOCEP. Who in his spare time is review editor with Locus and editor of num­ber of sciene fic­tion anthologies.

8 Bet­ter Writ­ing Skills

Not a feed, but an old fash­ioned email news­let­ter. Tim recently did some train­ing at SLWA in Writ­ing for the Web. See­ing I fin­ished high school in the top 93% (ie bot­tom 8%) of Eng­lish stu­dents and this haunted me through uni. I have improved over time but I still need all the help I can get and Tim’s news­let­ter does have plenty help­ful hints for cor­rect Eng­lish usage.
