MacBloggers hate the name MacBook Pro

Add comment January 12th, 2006

While Mac-loving bloggers (I think I’d like to call them ‘MacBloggers’) are happy about the new MacBook Pro, they can’t stand the name. I agree. Makes it sound like something McDonalds would create.

Moral dilemmas and connecting dots

There’s two parts to this article. Please read all the way through it for the second part, which is of some interest… ;-)

Last night I saw an episode of “Law and Order: SVU” which was interesting. Here’s a blurb for it:

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT - (10-11 p.m.)

Del.icio.us tagging

Add comment January 12th, 2006

I used to have ‘Tag this to del.icio.us’ at the bottom right of each entry on the front page, but I only just found out that it tags the page that it’s on. This means it was only supplying the details of the front page, and not the individual posts.

You can probably see the problem. Unfortunately, I originally tested it on a post, rather than on the front page. I want to apologise for any inconvenience if any of you have tried tagging from the front page.

I’ve changed it now. You can’t tag to del.icio.us unless you actually are in a post, rather than just the front page, and then you can tag to your heart’s content.

News at the moment is the apparent military coup in Fiji.

I’m wondering if it’s behind schedule…

The hows and whys of blogging

Add comment January 12th, 2006

There’s about nine million blogs on the internet today with 40,000 new ones being added every day. Some are informative, while most are simply a waste of your time, and of those who created them. While we hear a lot about blogs and blogging these days, what is it really? In its simplest terms it’s like an online journal, but much more powerful. Blogs are short for ‘web logs’, and are a place where web surfers can get the latest information on a topic or someone’s life.

Why are blogs important?
