Finding your way with GPS
Brilliant! The new stuff website gets even better – I just found this story that I wrote in 2006 on Garmin GPS systems. I have since used a Garmin Street Pilot while traveling in Europe… also brilliant!

Tabs are great but its way too easy to get lost in a reign of open tabs…

good anti monopolistic reading material
I read this quote today online and it sums up the way I feel about Microsoft better then anything I think I’ve heard before. And I’ve heard a lot before.
“…The most important factor to look at is job satisfaction. Do you want to work for a company that is constantly defending its position against smaller more creative companies or a company that is creating the future internet? Microsoft buys competitors then kills the product. Google buys competitors, funds them and makes them better than they could have been on their own.”
If that got your juices flowing then browse over to roughly drafed dot com and read their Why Microsoft Can’t Compete With iTunes article.
jiggy web 2.0 redesign and launch
We’ve relaunched the Jiggy website. Now that it has a new interface we hope that it’ll get some more traction. I hope that it is a success for our client not only because it is good for New Zealand artists but (now back to wearing my geek hat) because it is also a great example of web 2.0 mixed with some really great functionality!The main features as I see them are:
- Its full of Ajax making the user experience a nice one
- The design and use of web 2.0 gradients is nice on the eye
- There isnt an easier way to buy an MP3… then sending an SMS
- The flash MP3 previews are pretty cool and make it harder to steal sound files
So what are your thoughts? Tell me its better then Coke Tunes. And of course don’t forget… the music will even play on your iPod!!!
goodbye squirrelmail hello roundcube #2
Hot damn, they’ve have done it. RoundCube have introduced search on their webmail tool. When I get back to work on Monday I’m removing SquirrelMail from the servers and installing RoundCube. SquirrelMail had the chance to get with the times but… well the truth is it still looks and feels as though its been made by ancient fully bearded unix geeks that still think slashdot is a cool site. Hello RoundCube!!!
viva la france kick ass
I’m so glad that France Won today against Portugal. Its not that I really like the French or that I really dislike the Portuguese – its more to do with the fact that at any given micro second I’m capable of changing my mind, without any warning or apparent reason why. Its because I’m a human being capable of millions of background processes constantly sifting through data, re-evaluating data and ideas and opinions. When new data comes in it is added to the jobs pending (sometimes things happen immediately if I give certain tasks greater priority) and then things change – And right now I’m rooting for the French!
Admittedly I wasn’t to impressed when the French blew up the Rainbow Warrior but since they have managed to wipe the smirk of that little grease bag Ronaldo’s face, all is forgiven. Heck it was only a ship after all and in the face of new information – i hope you are all as open minded and as capable of processing new information as I am – Nuclear power probably isnt such a bad idea after all!!! ;)

Blinksale – the easiest way to send invocies online! Heck I don’t want to use these guys, I want to copy what they do and make it a WordPress plugin. Hey relax I’m just kidding okay.
37 Signals – These guys make some cool online software. Oline collaboration tools, chat tools, organising tools, etc. I’m just impressed with their resume. Take a look.
