Great Day Today Because…

my PS3 arrived this morning
we got a new front door this morning, courtesy of Hackney council. Thanks, guys! The new door is much.much.much better than the old one and now thieves and criminals finally won’t be able to break in!
a friend told me that, after loads and loads of interviews while the months passed, Google [...]

British dotcoms to watch

In case you live in Britain, and you want to read up on the current ongoing social networking and dotcom buzz, check out this article on the Guardian website, which features the 10 most promising British dotcoms.
This kind of stuff is actually highly relevant for my new job, and my colleagues and I are going [...]

Facebook: No one from my Uni on it!

When reccying out Facebook the other day, I also used their classmate search to find anyone from my former Uni. And guess what: there were no results, zero, zilch! At first I thought it might be a technical problem with the search function, but then I tried some other Universities, and results were returned.
Curious!
Some of [...]

Facebook Groups Are Fucking Useless

Excuse the rather ranty and imprecise title there. I’ve been playing around with Facebook (andraco - join up!) a bit more today - I joined a few months ago but hadn’t really used it much.
Today I updated my profile and stuff, as I had some spare time to actually use the Internet socially, for entertainment, [...]

New Look Sites Everywhere!

I noticed the other day that The Guardian has updated its online presence. From web 1.5, they say, to web 2.0. Liking it!
It is interesting to see how the web is currently evolving aesthetically and socially, with more and more focus on individual-centred stuff (services almost, centred on the individual user’s interests). It’s definitely more [...]

I’ve been Blogging for Over a Year Now

yes, I started on the 21st July 2006. I actually looked it up the other day, and I was sure that I started on the 27th last year, which is why I wanted to post some sort of ‘birthday celebration’ crap tomorrow. Only when checking tonight, I realised that my first one was in fact [...]

Web Trend Tube Map

This is quite cool, especially on a day of slow news / overwork and not enough time to write anything myself
A Tokyo design agency has created a ‘map of web influence’ based on the Tokyo tube map. Article here.
edit: direct link to hot shot agency post.
/me thinks of getting one for the office.

Working from Home = Overtime

It’s already started. It’s my second day and I’ve been teleworking today, with a predictable result:
I’m working far too long! I’ve only just stopped (10:44 PM) and I started at 10AM today
We can subtract a couple of hours or so where I took a break and ate, but that still makes it a [...]

First Day in My New Job

Today was the first day in my new job and, the first day that I ever spent in a regular ‘office’. LOL.
I promised myself when I was younger (probably in my late teens) to NOT work in a regular (office-based, 9-5) job till I hit 30. And I’ve succeeded - I’m 33 now :p
I have [...]

Desktop PC Finally Set up

I’ve finally managed to properly set up my desktop PC down here in London. I brought it back from Edinburgh last week-end, but hadn’t connected it and set it up yet.
What I’m going to do is take my laptop into work tomorrow, and then possibly leave it there (I don’t particularly like the idea of [...]
