I’ve been thinking about the kinds of things that I can do with Plagger and I’ve realised that it can solve a problem that isn’t really much of a problem at the moment but that can only get worse. I write in a number of places. Only this morning, I started a Vox blog. I’ve… Continue reading Personal Planet

Millions of People
Hmm… see I thought I was special when I got my Vox invitation this morning. But it seems Vox underwent a massive expansion overnight. There appear to be millions of new people slowly finding their way around the place. [Another post that refers to Vox and is only here for completeness]
Odeon Redesign
I’ve just noticed that the Odeon web site has had a major redesign and now appears to work without any problems in Firefox. When did that happen?

Shozu for Nokia Series 60 v3
A version of Shozu has been released for Series 60 version 3. Amongst other things, that means that I can now use Shozu on my Nokia N91. This is good. I never really got on with Lifeblog.
Leadership Challenge
