Kosso bigged up on techcrunch

They call him a seesmic.com clone but they like him... I thought phreadz.com was still a secret actually. For the uninitiated, it's like a chat room / message board, but based around your webcam. So many people have them these days that it makes sens...

Google / Yahoo MERGER!

Well, no actually, not at all but Google are serving ads on some of Yahoo's pages. What about Yahoo serving ads in Google's "slots" (like the ones on this page)? I want more different ads served up here, so more people are likely to click on them and...

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

RE: Folkestone and its neighbourhood by S. J. Mackie

I don't know about the "low price" bit, but it's easy to get one from ABE Books, it'll cost up to one hundred pounds, though there's one here for less. I didn't yet buy one, even though I said two years ago that I definitely would. I'm still looking ...

It's a long way to Gutsy Gibbon

This version is Dapper Drake. I got a CD of a more recent version off someone at work hoping I could start again from there and then upgrade to the latest, but if I try that my wireless connection is lost immediately, and without that I can do nothin...

Not sure where that came from...

... but I just got my old PC internetting wirelessly at last, without needing to buy any new bits, and by following a forum post from 2005. How many times have I tried this and failed? This time I tried something new, and it worked. I think I was ins...

Twitter

Just revisited twitter.com for the first time since I don't know when, as I noticed it was one of my jabber instant messenger buddies. I must have set this up when it first launched, but I don't think it worked right away. I just sent a message to my...

Whole lot of interesting detail there, though you do sound a bit bitter

Does Folkestone really need any more apartments? I know it has lots of pubs and they're all empty, but that's because there are almost none that are worth going to.I heard somewhere, perhaps on the councillor's own blog that he lived there, and that ...

Nice one www.popbitch.com.Just found this post from 2004 regarding Amy Winehouse (and I'm sure there's more in the archive), where I was whooping with glee because she bigged up my website in an interview with the BBC. It's not archived on the webwis...
