Simon Waldman points out this very positive article about RSS in yesterday’s Sunday Times. It’s ironic, of course, because none of time Times online news sites have any trace of an RSS feed. They’ll work it out eventually. Update: I sent an email pointing out the irony to webmaster@timesonline.co.uk, but it bounced back as an… Continue reading Irony At Work

Tada Lists Success
You know, I admit to being a bit sceptical when I first set up my Tada lists, but I have to say that it seems to be working. Over the weekend, despite one of my servers crashing completely and me spending far too much time running fdisk and changing DNS records, I managed to tick… Continue reading Tada Lists Success
English As She Is Spoke
We have a rich and expressive language and therefore it annoys me intensely to hear people using it inaccurately. Two recent examples.

Bad Memory
Watching Them : Watching Us is on top form today, pointing out the ironies in today’s Daily Mail front page. We’ll never forget this.
New BBC Streams Article
Today’s Guardian has an article about the relaunched BBC Radio Player. It also mentions their experiment last year when they made editions of In Our Time available as MP3s.
Tada List
As part of my eternal struggle to organise my life, I’ve started building lists at Tada Lists. I’ve even made some of them public. (Oh, bit of an inconvenient little bug in the system. I originally linked to my public lists at http://davorg.tadalists.com/lists/public/, but it seems that the site doesn’t like the existance of that… Continue reading Tada List
Small World
An interesting example of how the internet is shrinking the world. The photographer who took a photo of a photographer
