Oh… my… word… the Wayback Machine has cached my old GeoCities site from 1998-9… [tawalker]
|
|
|
If there’s one lesson to be learned from the demise of GeoCities: don’t assume your stuff on Flickr, Facebook, your blog, etc. is permanent. [tawalker]
|
|
|
Post-GeoCities, I think it’s time I really started archiving my online content, or at least making sure I have two copies. But not tonight. [tawalker]

Hoping that the rumours of an "Indian summer" in the UK turn out correct, as it’s still grey and damp out there this morning. [tawalker]

Into town. Just passed a bush where a passer-by has spray-painted the leaves silver. Twitpic to follow. [tawalker]

Maybe one day, I’ll understand why people smash windows of empty shops. Erm, guys, it’s not as if there’s much to steal in there… [tawalker]
|
|
|
Mind you, in this town, if you REALLY feel like kicking in ao empty shop window (why???!), I suppose there’s no shortage of candidates

Thinking about starting a diary next year, and how much I would want to put in it. [tawalker]

Shared Google Webmaster Tools.

RT @qikipedia **QI NEWS** The G series of QI begins Thurs 26 Nov @ 9.30pm on BBC1. (yaay!) [tawalker]

Shared Using a calendar with the Eee.
|
|
|
Watched "The Dot And The Line" for the first time in years. Didn’t know the book was written by Norton Juster ("The Phantom Tollbooth"). [tawalker]
|
|
|
Anyone know how to force Google Reader, Calendar and iGoogle, to use an SSL connection? FF3.0 4 on my Eee, drops "https" URLs for "http". [tawalker]
|
|
|
In other words: if I enter the HTTPS URL for any Google service, it goes to the HTTP one. Not what I’d want at a public WiFi hotspot. [tawalker]
|
|
|
Still trying to get VLC and Miro installed on my Eee (repository issues), but in a great display of priorities, at least Doom is working. [tawalker]
|
|
|
Feeling a bit grotty (I have a cold). Not always easy to avoid these things, even if you try. [tawalker]
|
|
|
Looks like I’ll have to wipe my Eee’s main drive and start again. That’ll teach me to be more careful when adding ‘apt’ repositories… [tawalker]
|
|
|
Shared Back to square one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Did a factory reset on the Eee at lunchtime; will get the repositories right this time around… [tawalker]
|
|
|
Oh great – three days of postal strikes. Lucky I don’t have anything urgent to wait for, but maybe I should start the Christmas cards soon. [tawalker]
|
|
|
Looking at royalty-free video clips I could use in a title sequence for a new videoblog… though maybe not at £25 a pop! [tawalker]
|
|
|
Choqok (KDE Twitter client) isn’t in the Zandros repositories, so it’s Echofon for Twitter on my Eee until I can install AIR/TweetDeck. [tawalker]
|
|
|
You know that consumer electronics are getting stupidly cheap, when a replacement part (mains adapter, remote) costs more than the item did. [tawalker]

is waking to a chesty cough (his own) and a high temperature (Joy’s). Naomi has already had a 24-hour bug. Tim loves October. [tawalker]

Hoping that the quirkily-named "Metadata Hootenanny" will solve the problem of adding chapter markers to my iMovie 08 videos (for iDVD). [tawalker]

Thinking about what I’d put in the first edition of a tie-in video podcast for Eee 701 Planetoid (with little time, and less money!). [tawalker]
|
|
|
I have a strong suspicion that I’ll soon be switching my Linux Eee 701 onto the Fluxbox window manager, so long as everything still works… [tawalker]
|

RT @stevelitchfield Reuters: Nokia to close gaming service N-Gage http://link.reuters.com/suk86f (er, when did I last use it? [crickets...]) [tawalker]
|

Oh my, I am really rather worn out now… it’s the end of the week, you know
 [tawalker] |
|
|
Really liking Fluxbox on my Eee 701. Will try and take a screenshot once I’ve got it looking "just so"… [tawalker]
|
|
|
Shared Fluxbox Themes – Box-Look.org.
|
|

Remembering how much I like Fluxbox – it’s just right for the Eee! Screenshot(s) in due course. [tawalker]

Looking out over a sleepy River Kennet and a moorhen pecking its way round the fallen autumn leaves, and suddenly feeling rather old. [tawalker]
|
|
|
And while we’re on the subject of "NOOOOO!!!!!": we’re now 80% of the way through 2009. Just love that feeling of achievement, don’t you? [tawalker]
|
|
|
Thinking where to go out for a couple of hours, to avoid those demanding goods with menaces
[tawalker] |
|
|
Overslept this morning for the first time in living memory; i must have needed that… [tawalker]
|
|
|
Late lunch, for which I can safely say we’re all pretty ready. Mmm, fiery chilli meatball pasta… [tawalker]
|
|
|
|
|
|
I really should work out how to get my Eee 701 to use my N95 as a modem over Bluetooth. A USB cable link is such a bind (literally). [tawalker]
