Went along to #MoMoMelb yesterday, the local chapter of a pretty active mobile industry group. Their focus is usually a bit on the carrier/commercial side of the industry, so I rarely find anything that really interests me, but this one was about Location Based Services, so naturally, I couldn’t resist. I remember the first time [...]

Try switching browsers!… well, it might work! I just saw this one from downloadsquad.com in my feed reader and it’s true!! Visit http://www.capitalone.com/autoloans/ using Google Chrome and you get one rate (that’s it on the left), but use Firefox (on the right) and you get a much more attractive rate! I have no idea why [...]

One of those mornings when I arrive at work a little more stressed than usual because of the stupid behaviour of other road users: (and a pet hate of mine) as I approach an intersection, I am passed in the last few metres by a black commodore with tinted windows, who immediately cuts in front [...]

These days, web developers tend to use a lot of hosted services. It makes sense – you don’t want to have to re-write everything and host it locally. Unfortunately, at the same time you hand off responsibility, you also hand off control. If the remote service goes down or has problems, you have problems! … [...]

What is going on? is it a full moon or something? In my 25 minute ride to work this morning I saw three completely stupid driving moments. Riding up my own street, when a 40ish woman in a silver Camry (WOJ750) approaches a stop sign, takes a look at me – literally 5 metres away, [...]

Just wanted to share a little ‘magic moment’, I encountered on the way home last night. Riding up Royal Parade with the commuter peloton when, stopped at the lights, I noticed a woman on the footpath poking and peering at her bike. I was about to ask whether she needed a hand, when someone behind [...]

Yes, it was a great day for the pies and nice to finally stick it to all the detractors, after all, I think these two ardent fans have all their teeth intact!

Two google fanboy posts in one day! Still, they’re worth it Google have just made their short URL generating service available through a public web interface. This is not that earth shattering, I’ve been using the service via the chrome extension and it’s worked well for some time now. However, the excitement starts if you’re [...]

Google are having fun again! Releasing StreetView Images of Antarctica is just brilliant. The bit I really love though, is that the little yellow Pegman becomes a penguin. Just too cute!

This is my mate Harry. I meet him on the way home sometimes. Sometimes he surprises me, but tonight I saw him ‘interacting’ with someone ahead of me, so I was ready – even had time to get the iPhone out and ready in movie mode! I love magpies. The football team and the birds! [...]
