Up Your Ego: It’s amazing how things build up really quickly. I took two days off work to move house (never again!) and now I’ve got days of work to do.

I would love to be able to blog full time, I really enjoy writing and spouting my opinions on everything from the BBC to Web2.0 but alas the pains of reality strike at the pleasure of the daydream.
This week, as well as being shockingly busy at work I’m also moving house - yes we actually found somewhere to live within budget in the end - and the place is lovely.
We officially move on Thursday...
Just getting geared up for the 2007 Island Games (the rest of the team get to go to Rhodes I stay here) while moving house at the same time!

I want to expand my coding knowledge - it’s all been design with a bit of VBscript (doesn’t count) - where should I start for web mashups?

Now we have a choice of multiple browsers - which is your browser of choice and do you use multiple browsers? What about on mobile?

Just got back from my lunchbreak - I love living on an island where I can have lunch on the beach watching the sea.

Opera v iPhone →
As I’ve already mentioned I’m currently heavily into using Safari for Windows as my desktop browser of choice at home - before that it was Flock and I’m sure eventually I’ll switch back (or just use both).
At work my browser is IE 6 and Firefox 1.5 - I didn’t use the word ‘choice’ here because I don’t have a choice - it’s the browser I’m given and I had to FIGHT to get Firefox (so I can test...

I’ve just downloaded Opera Mini v4 (beta) to try out on my mobile and it’s fantastic - zoom browsing so you can see whole pages easily.

Balancing Pebbles →
I know this sounds a little bit sad but for a while now I’ve been trying to take up a new hobbie that isn’t tied to my computer. In the past my hobby has pretty much been either browsing the web, reading forums, commenting on blogs or watching TV online.
So I decided to take up Pebble Balancing - the art of balancing pebbles and then taking a photo of your creation to post to a site like Flickr...

“So are the people he sent to “utopia” chameleoned time-lords as well?”
This was part of a larger comment posted to the Outpost Gallifrey forums in reponse to the re-introduction of The Master to the new series of Doctor Who (bloody brilliant as it was).
It was a throw away line not picked up by anybody else but really struck a chord with me.
I really can see the Time Lords coming back - going...

No more media blackout →
A few weeks ago I went to visit my parents with my wife and children and stayed with them for a week or so. We like to go over a couple of times a year to visit them.
The biggest problem I usually run across when I visit is media blackout. Well not blackout so much as blurry muddle out - my Dad has internet access (WiFi around the house) and they do have Virgin Media but the TV is usually in...

One of the things that suprised me most about Hack Day (but probably shouldn’t have) was the number of Macs - probably more than Windows.

Taking photos of people taking photos of people taking photos at Hack Day London
This is going to be my final Hack Day post - I’ve said about as much as I’ve got to say about it and have posted a mass of media and links pointing to other places saying a lot more about it.
I was trying to think of one word or image that said the most about the weekend for me - other than lightning, dunkirk or...
All the BBC local websites are getting a big re-design tommorow. Which is nice :)

OK boys and girls I’m finally back in the land of the living (well almost). I’ve been at Hack Day London all weekend, finally getting back to Jersey around lunchtime on Monday - but after being awake for nearly 48 hour, I wasn’t capable of much on Monday - especially blogging.
But today I’m managing to catch up on things - like e-mail, uploading photos to flickr and posting my videos to You Tube...
Good morning (well nearly afternoon) boys and girls - just back to work after a weekend at Hack Day London.
