Twitter did not suck the blogging from me

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

While Molly blames Twit­ter for her lack of blog­ging and Mark life, the reason for my lack of blog­ging of the past few weeks can be attrib­uted to the new train and my desire to get back to a reas­on­able level of fitness…

NSW government fair trading blogs

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Research­ing Gov­ern­ment use of web 2.0 tech­no­logy for this week’s Bar­Camp Nano, I found the Ripped Off blog. Which allows NSW con­sumers to tell their stor­ies about being ripped off

Web Directions Photo Meme

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

So Miles has tagged me with Web Dir­ec­tions Photo Meme to cel­eb­rate less than a month to go to Web Dir­ec­tions South 2007, that there are more digital cam­eras than people attend­ing these events and to prove that I actu­ally atten­ded in the past and had a very good time doing so as well as […]

PodCamp

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

A few days after Bar­Camp Perth 2007, one of the Perth Twit­ter Mob found the Pod­Camp Aus­tralia and it was passed quickly through the local social network.

At that time the Pod­Camp site was very bare, there was no inform­a­tion about the people behind the concept, just an About Pod­Camp page and a sign up page. How­ever, after the buzz of Bar­Camp Perth 2007 the oppor­tun­ity for another uncon­fer­ence con­cen­trat­ing on the social side of the web was to good an offer to refuse …

This blog now with advertising

Friday, July 13th, 2007

After Miles’ post about mak­ing money blog­ging and an approach to sell text link advert­ising on a cer­tain post. I have finally taken the plunge and put advert­ising on this blog. I know I said I would in last Decem­ber, well I finally did it. Some advert­ising might also appear in my RSS feeds, so be warned.

This is really an exper­i­ment to see if what happens …

Eight Random Things

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

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.

moblogging, wordpress and a dopod 838pro

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

It is easy, I am blog­ging while wait­ing for my lunch. But it also has a few chal­lenges, word­press is not pretty or intu­it­ive on IE on WM5, the key­stroke com­bin­a­tions to enter HTML is pain­ful, cut­ting and past­ing from other win­dows dif­fi­cult, but it can be done, so expect more mob­log­gig from me.

POSH or not ?

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

After read­ing Plain Old Semantic HTML (POSH) on the micro­formats wiki, it left me won­der exactly what is a POSH site. I agree with the POSH and will adopt any prin­ciples I am not cur­rently using for the next ver­sion of this blog, I don’t know if it will make the grade as a POSH site.

The prob­lem is that …

Annual CSS naked day

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

It is that time of the year for well formed sites to show off their proper use of html, semantic markup and good hier­arch­ical struc­ture. For more inform­a­tion see the Annual CSS Naked Day Site.

So for the next thirty six hours or so this site will be without it’s stylesheets. I had to do a little extra work, remov­ing the IE only stylesheet and remov­ing the javas­cript that inser­ted the flash images, oth­er­wise you would end up with a couple of 1200px wide flash images on each page. The orange will return on Friday.
