  1. They are reshaping the Internet... as a simple one-way publishing tool. Take us or leave us. Most will leave. http://bit.ly/94ce11
  2. The sound of rain, some bluesy jazz, a cup of tea, and a blog post to write. Good times.
  3. @kostis43 Last time I travelled from Norway via Ryanair, I heard Norweigans complain about Ryanair's food prices - so must be expensive!
  4. @mdda Is this for selling a single product, set of products, or for a service based business? There's specialist templates for all of those.
  5. If you get spammy recorded calls on your VOIP lines, then this will make your day: http://bit.ly/cor6jI
  6. @ryanqnorth I got... Utah: You can buy T-Rex and put him in your house! ... T-Rex: Time for me to start counting my friggin' calories!
  7. YouTube CTA of the day: "CLICK HERE TO WATCH HITLER FALL OFF A TRICK BIKE!"
  8. @tedkulp Here's one we made for one of our sites: http://www.frsb.org.uk/english/membership/ (runs on CMSMS, too).
  9. Genius movie parody ad for a conference: http://bit.ly/aHmWZt - "Far, mor, jeg må fortelle deg nå... jeg bruker Java."
  10. Hmm £3.59 on Amazon for a real book vs £10.99 on iBooks for a virtual one. No chance.
  11. This is one of the coolest Google Map mashups I've seen in a while. London Underground, Live: http://bit.ly/9z3DQZ
  12. @davidreccles Couldn't agree more, I can't make or receive calls/texts at my flat unless I turn 3G off.
  13. Wow, the Times pay-wall website is a total retreat from the web. As if mimicking paper is the ultimate goal of tech' http://bit.ly/aLmPdh
  14. Gratulerer med den syttende mai! / Happy Norwegian Constitution Day everyone.
  15. @panic Love the S3 features in Transmit 4... but please get it setting Content-type right for CSS, or let us edit the headers.
  16. Spent the day optimising a website/server ready for an e-campaign being on GMTV Monday morning.
  17. RT @Glinner: Very important read, no matter where you are. "Telcos' plan to use fake "citizens groups" to kill Net Neutrality" http://bi ...
  18. According to my ready meal, there's a national shortage of Mange Tout, so I'm having green beans instead. This recession is intolerable.
  19. RT @RealRobertWebb: I want to build a stronger, fairer country by basically leaving you to it. Good luck.
  20. Great visualisation of the privacy changes to your Facebook profile over the last 5 years: http://bit.ly/9cTtYk
