I can’t help it. I’m a techie.
So, it's been noted that the content of this blog over the course of the last few months has verged too much towards the inanely dull and technical. That's just the way it's gone recently as I've done lots of techie things.
This blog is as much a place to share new internet toys with co workers and those friends that may find them interesting, as a place for sharing the more random, and infinitely more amusing stories.
That said, the balance has definitely more towards the tech recently, and less of anything else.
So, I'll be sure to make sure I take the time to post other stuff too. Just so happens that I spend a lot of time on the web during the day researching web techniques and the latest trends, and I post what I find as I go.
RSS Alerts to IM: immedi.at
Never been much for actually using RSS readers. What I really wanted was a way of knowing when new posts had been added to blogs I read. So - I looked, and I found!
Simple bookmarklet which will send you instant messages whenever monitored urls are updated. Very cool.
Chuck - another good reason for sorting your domain out to actually point directly to your own blog (as in DNS, not web forwarding): this will not discover your RSS feeds off the domain forwarding frameset page (but I've subscribed using http://themojowire.blogspot.com). Speaking of which, I just noticed my blogroll has disappeared with this template. I will add it back in later.
Geoff - if you never wanted to see the boring stuff, you could always just subscribe to the rss feeds for the categories you're interested in (e.g. http://www.edgillett.com/blog/category/fun/feed/) See. WordPress is useful!
Hmm … old photos …
Seems I posted quite a few of the old photos on this site directly to Blogger, and you can't access those externally. Will migrate all the old photos across to Flickr and reindex the old blog posts soon. Cos I know you all enjoy reading the old stuff.
I also promise to correctly categorise all the old posts. Because I'm boring.
