I like this idea of Jeremy Keith’s elsewhere. Grabbing all the pieces of information on the web about you and then placing it all in one spot. I had a go and look at what I came up with.
Nice idea, I suppose I could redo my whole blog to just be a collection of other information about me around the internet all complied in one spot.
Go Jeremy!

Well we are into another season of Futsal, weary and with a dickie knee I solder on.
Have I been swept up in the overpowering soccer world cup wave? Yes, yes I have and the winner is… Futsal. I am into my second season with all conquering Albion FC and we are playing at the hallowed Puckhandlers Indoor sports stadium, Melbourne Australia.
So what is futsal. Webster’s dictionary describes it as… No not really, just check out futsal on Wikipedia.
I will keep you updated with the highs and lows of the futsal season. Hopefully we can bring home the bacon. Futsal and bacon… Together at last.
Go Albion FC!

Not a very nice looking site, but wow what a great idea. Do your bit to hit back at the spam bots, but clogging up there database with invalid email addresses. Ever been caught in an endless loop while programming one of your applications. I know I have. Hopefully this can annoy the spam bots as much as they annoy me.
Well done http://www.spamhelp.org/

Spam should be canned or is it spam in a can!
I can’t stand spam, from junk emails to spam comments on this blog. Does anyone remember the days before spam. Wow, I could hear the calm sound of the ocean as I soak up the sun on the beach with my free time. But not now. Spam. Spam. Spam is all I hear as I attempt to find the relevant information between all the spam.
Why do we receive spam emails. Because they must work! Why people click on them is beyond me, but they must work or there would be no reason for them at all.
I can understand why there is blog comments spam. At least akismet and the web community is trying to collectively do something about this.
From work to personal email all I see is spam. So if anyone has created an effective way of managing their spam emails please let me know.
I hope it invloves frying up what comes out of the can.
Daylight savings is a curse incognito. Goodbye sleep, hello good times I am screaming as summer comes around. But it’s just goodbye sleep when old man winter comes back.
I love daylight savings. Bring on all the traditional Australian past times. The good old fashioned BBQ, which inevitable brings beer (this is a good thing), back yard cricket, picnics, long walks on the beach!?!
Starting today I am implementing a new year’s resolution, well some sort of resolution anyway. I am pledging to have more fun, not just any old fun, the summer kind of fun.
Daylight savings oh how I love thee! Well done, please don’t go back to the dark and dingy, cold and rainy old old man winter.

I have had a few conversations lately about what are the most essential tools for any web designer or developer. So here you go, here is a list of my “can’t do without’ applications that I use on a day to day basis.
So there you go – that is me and my day in a lunch box.

I recently changed back from Windows Live Mail to the traditional hotmail. Why? Slow load times, inconsistent behaviors with check boxes, small reading panes that you can resize, not being able to export contacts, shall I go on. Sure it is a beta version and sure it is free. However, why should I upgrade from a stable hotmail to a clunky, nonuser-friendly email client.
Long live hotmail!

I recently bought a book “The JavaScript Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks” from Sitepoint while I was at the Web Directions Conference in Sydney. Note: I did this after being inspired by Jeremy Keith’s two talks on AJAX.
After skimming over the book on the plane back to Melbourne I found a strange anomaly. The book was missing about 50 pages, which, funnily enough were related to AJAX. I was a bit bemused about this situation and decided to email Sitepoint and see what they had to say.
Within an hour of the email I receive an email back politely explaining that there was a problem with the printing run and that they would send me out a new book, no questions asked. Then within the week I received the book on my doorstep. This experience left me in a good mood the whole week.
Well done Sitepoint! If only all customer service experiences were met with such speed, efficiency and politeness.
I will definitely be buying books from them again.

I recently attended the Web Directions Conference in Sydney and it was amazing to see the amount of reflective glow from the Apple icons throughout the conference hall. What amazed me about this was not that Apple is reclaiming the laptop market. But that so many people were publishing content to the internet right there and then. Now I know I am a nerd and that I see a unique cross section of society, but the times are changing.
Here is a prime example. This is a girl from Iraq who talks about war, politics and occupation. No loner do we have to have to be told what to here from the big publishing companies! This begs the question, are we seeing the beginning of the demise of major newspapers and television stations? I don’t know. But what I do know is that I am not a good looking as Sandra Sully.
People are blogging on the train, in lecture theatres and in wars and more interestingly with the launch of Testra’s new G3 network people will be able to view this content anywhere, any time.
The world is changing. Power to the people!
