Another theme

Just to fill some space up and see what this new–to me at least—theme looks like, here’s another post on the last day of 2008. It doesn’t take much scrolling to get down to a post in early 2007 when by the sounds of what was written, I’d a bit more enthusiasm for adding stuff here. Keep meaning to see if I can find that missing spark but the inclination to add content is still sadly missing.
Maybe 2009 will be different…

New version

Just moved to another version.

This little item adds a whole new dimension to the saying “feel the music”!

Misspelt any of these?

Ten of the most misspelt words in blog posts. I’m quite sure I’m guilty of all of them at some point. Now, is the the term misspelt or misspelled?

Free as in beer versus free as in speech

Reading about how to burn almost any file to a playable DVD on LifeHacker, there’s a post in the comments about the difference between free as in beer and free as in speech. I must admit that I thought they were the same, I’ve only seen “as in speech” a few times. My interest in the DVD burning wained as it’s windows only and our old box doesn’t have a DVD burner. However, now I know the difference between what’s meant by these two terms. Did you?

Where did disk drives start?

Ever wondered where Seagate got their name and what the first disk drive was called. It’s all in this Guardian article about Al Shugart.

WordPress

I’m now using the latest version of WordPress. I’ve hacked a wee bit of the theme I’m using to include my own images, but there’s still a load of things needing done. Of course, content should be the first thing, but I’ll get round to that eventually.

project 365

The task – a picture a day for a year. I don’t remember where I read about this, but it’s something I’m trying to do. Almost all of the pictures so far have been taken with the camera built into the screen of my laptop thanks to a little script that I got from the article I read.

This is a shot with me holding a camera that I really should be making more use of.

Let’s see

if the post dates are all still the same.
