That is some sweet Chrome!

I’ve started using Google Chrome. There, I said it. I’ve been dabbling with it a little at work, but this weekend, I decided to try it for a bit at home, see what it’s like. I have to say I like it a lot!
I, like a lot of web addicts out there am a Firefox [...]

Google Streetview conversation

I saw this video on College Humour the other day and had to post it. I did wonder what the conversation was like in the Streetview car.

I’m not looking forward to Flash on my phone

The recent announcements that Adobe are working on a full version of their Flash platform for mobile is making me jittery. Over the years of developing I have been well aware that Flash, for whatever reason, hogs resources. It uses processor aplenty, battery life, RAM. I’ve even worked on some projects where it has slowed [...]

Server Migration

Today something has changed on my site and blog. In fact, all the sites I am hosting myself. I’ve changed servers to sparkly servers up in the sky that everyone is now calling the cloud. The servers are now based in California rather than London. I’ve loved my London based hosts Supanames for about 8 [...]

Wolfram|Alpha, like magic, almost

This weekend something amazing happened. That thing is almost human, it is Wolfram|Alpha (ok, from now on I will stop putting in the |). It is a new way of getting answers, some say it’s like an encyclopedia. They’d be right really, kind of. It consists of a vast database and some very clever algorithms [...]

Open Hack London

I went to Open Hack London by Yahoo this weekend. Anyone who likes programming will probably love this event. As it is a Yahoo event, there is a slant towards PHP which is good and bad. But the main thing is to see what is coming out of the programming community at the moment! I [...]

Now that gamers rule the land

I’ve been reading a couple of similar posts recently (links below) which have been talking, roughly, about the same thing. That, on the whole, successful websites are using gaming rules. Or the coolest ones anyway. I do find this interesting. We’re in an age where the first generation of gamers are now grown and well [...]

Change the world, one bit at a time

I recently turned 30. I said it. It’s happened. The days of grumpiness, beer bellies, staying at home and dinner parties have arrived. Kind of. The overwhelming desire to criticise and change things has been the main change I have noticed since my late 20s hit me. Government are crap, kids are out of control [...]

The Big Beta

Today Gmail went down. It’s hit the news again (tech news that is). On Pocket Lint they had a short article on the outage. It attracted a comment from a person saying “I also love gmail but I’m a bit worried about the fact that it’s still in beta!”.
I’ve seen this kind of quote quite [...]

The faster future

According to my favourite news source The Register or “El Reg”, C programming dominated the open source projects in 2008. I’m surprised and impressed!
I always put C down as the old thing you learn in computer science. It was certainly the first language I learnt and is a good base to start (albeit quite hard [...]
