What’s been happening?

Posted on by

I haven’t blogged here for ages, lets be honest; it’s almost been a year.  I’ve been quietly managing the blog in the background, because blogs don’t just sit there and do nothing; as much as sometimes you want them to.  Over the last year I’ve made some huge moves and decisions in my head and to be frank I just haven’t had time to be here.  Does it really matter? with posts like this one right now no, but with posts like these.. yes.  I’ve neglected my plugin.  It still works fine but I think I’ve left a foul taste in some peoples mouths; so sorry for that – there’s new version incoming real soon.

So what’s happened in just under a year that’s kept me away from ITALM and other things?

Recycle A Blog Post Day (2009-08-12)

Posted on by

Mark Pollard threw a tweet to the world that had some interesting weight, Recycle A Blog Post Day (#rabpday).  Mark’s idea was that you would dig a post out from earlier in the year and “re-cycle it” which i assume means, create a new post, put the content in from the old and  post it again.  My suggestion was that the post should be over a year old, obviously this can’t for everyone and in that case, you should pick an older post.

I’m not sure what the intention was here, my thoughts were that it could be a monthly or yearly thing?  But i get the impression others maybe thinking weekly? Anyway it seems like a cool idea.

When’s it happening?

TOMORROW!! (12th August 2009)

Who’s recycling?

Mark tagged the following people in and I guess we’ll see if they partake:

Of course, you know you can take part too, post below with a comment if you’re going to join in and let’s see where this goes to.

iPhone 3G & The Case Lineup

Posted on by

I bit the bullet on Friday and traded to an iPhone, after all the iTunes bullshit (i’m seriously over it!) the phone has been fantastic, no problems so far and it just WORKS.  The phone just working is a big thing coming from Windows Mobile where sometimes things just dont work for some stupid reason or another, so it’s really nice to just pick it up, press a button and BAM! the screeen is on straight away and everything responds as soon as you touch it, Windows Mobile device manufacturers have alot to learn from this.

Halloween and some free icons

Posted on by

I’m not so much a fan of halloween as i am a fan of random holidays, thankfully no one has knocked on my door trick or treating yet, halloween is a weird holiday it’s fun, strange and unknown.

Did someone say free icons? One of the designers at glyFX was working on a dark halloweenish free set and it just happened to coincide with halloween, so he finished 5 icons up, and put them online for everyone to see and use.

Plantronics & Sony Warranties

First let me lay down the back story on my plantronics headsets for you. Back in June 2007 i purchased a plantronics audio 550 dsp headset, for half price ($75AUD), 2 months later the headphones died. After realising i couldn’t find the the receipt, i purchased another set at full price ($150AUD) and made sure to keep the receipt, 2 months later (last week), the left headphone cup stops working.
