Forgetfulness

You know when you’re not blogging enough when you forget your login password…

Facebook / Big Brother

I’ve had two people email me about this article today.

Facebook

Are you doing the Facebook thing? I just had a friend get in touch who I haven’t heard from in a couple of years, that’s where it comes into its own.

Some kind of Firefox extension would be good.

Update 2 minutes later: of course there is one.

Tate Time 1

I went to see the new photography exhibition at Tate Britain; How We Are: Photographing Britain.  Novel idea, they have a computer in the exhibition with Flickr showing.  So I couldn’t resist leaving it on my photos and then watching people as they came up and looked at them, I had to stop myself from going “those are my photos” – how egalitarian is that.  I tried to take a photo of my photo’s ‘exhibiting’ at the Tate, but an officious guard came up and told me it wasn’t allowed, shame.

Celebrating

Frizz was two years old last week. Can’t believe it, no it’s true.  Time goes so quickly…

Other worlds

Yesterday, I met a complete stranger who took me on a trip to the Cape and gave me a sailing boat. A dream, no Second Life. This was my first experience of the virtual world and I actually found it far less ‘unreal’ than I expected. So much for taking on a different persona, at the moment my avatar is an animation replica of myself, hmm… I also couldn’t quite take the virtual world ‘as real world’ seriously, but I can see how it could become totally addictive and in-world you get to teleport as if you were in Star Trek and fly like Superman…

Top 10 Mac utilities

An interesting top 10 of (mostly free) utilities from Lifehacker.

Moo again

I’m having a conversation with Dan M, do you think the M stands for Moo?  I really want some of their new NoteCards – I was crossing my fingers that that was going to be their ‘promised’ next product – but I’m a little scared about the light thing.  So I’ve now sent a couple of photo’s for him to inspect.  I actually ended up keeping my Moo cards and having not used them much, I handed out loads last week and they caused a bit of a stir.

System overload

In a perfect world there would be no spam and my inbox would be empty, right now it has 2378 emails.

I’m reading up on project management software and things like DEVONnote, but wondering if they’ll make my life easier or more complicated?

Firefox add-on’s

Of course you’re using Firefox… So here’s a really good list of extensions from Lifehacker. It’s worth reading the comments too for other suggestions.
