Can’t talk, drinking scolded wine! That’s glögg in Swedish, dear reader from elsewhere. A Christmas tradition here. I did write some stuff too, though.
Did you catch the Notes Blog site?
I’m reading that uTorrent is finally available in a beta version for Mac. It was my torrent client of choice in my past (Windows) life, but today I’m more than happy with Transmission and I won’t be switching anytime soon.
Nice photo post on the early form of PC hardware. But where’s the follow-up, why stop with the first server?
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone reading my blog, but I’m a total nut for notebooks. The favorite is high quality stuff from Moleskine, but that doesn’t mean that I neglect other offerings out there. So when Kiki James in London wanted to send me handmade leather bound journal, I just couldn’t say no.
Naturally, I had to document this baby, so with my trusty Sony Cybershot T70, I tore the box from the postman’s hands, snarled, and retreated to my home office. Read more
I love services like this. What a Lovely Name helps you name your baby, using tags and search. Very cool.
It’s not like I’ve hidden it or anything, but the foundation for the Notes Blog site is now online. More on that later.
Wow. This is the first time I have an asides like functionality on any of my blogs, and I find it totally addictive, as you can see below. Five posts, five asides post, and then a regular one (like the one you’re reading now), followed by a somewhat more sane use of asides.
I find it very easy to share something funny with you all, dear readers, using asides. A bit too easy really, since it means that I risk to pump out a bunch of posts each day, but none are really original content. Links are great, but I know you’re dying to hear what I have to say, even if you’re reading it. Sometimes I think that having to go through a bit more hassle is a good way to make sure you’re taking the time needed, although I won’t go so far as to blabber about Slow Blogging…
Anyway, if you’re as addicted to asides - mine or the pure notion of having them on your blog - you should read my post on the matter over at Devlounge. The upcoming WordPress 2.7 certainly does a lot of things right, that’s for sure.
And I promise I’ll write more posts. I’ve been busy, that’s all I can say.
It all started as an April fools gag, but now it’s dead serious. Download The Molten Core, a fan made World of Warcraft interpretation in 8-bit style. For Windows, and free.
I’ve got a soft spot for these answer based search engines. I used to love AskJeeves (just Ask.com these days), partly because Jeeves and Wooster is such a great series. SnappyFingers is another one, in beta. Give it a go.
I really do. Lots of crap in there, but the bag and some of the gadgets makes me giddy.
