Language and property

July 24, 2004

Vince writes a good post about language and property that's worth reading over on Dragon's Fandango. Vince is one of the most intelligent, talented writers I've met, and I'm really glad that he's started a blog. Just wait til he gets his book finished, is all I can say.

BlogOn

July 23, 2004

Just been watching the feed from the BlogOn 2004 Conference at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. For some inexplicable reason, the powers that be chose to stream the new product demos (many of which just weren't even vaguely new), instead of the panels held in the other room. Whoever made that call needs […]

Curious

July 17, 2004

From Dragon's Fandango: Ever have one of those days when you catch sight of your nose out the corner of your eye and then you suddenly can't ignore the fact your nose is always there, impinging on the edge of your vision? Um, well I hadn't, thanks.

The end is nigh. But in a good way

July 13, 2004

In case you were wondering, the discussions went well. I am a happy bunny who should soon have a stable income. More details as they're confirmed. Managed to catch the last part of the Social Tools in Enterprise Symposium in London yesterday, which comprised the last section of David Gurteen's Social Software Cafe, and Euan […]

Blogging bilingually

July 10, 2004

I had long conversations with Steph whilst at BlogTalk about the implications of blogging bilingually. I have a Welsh language blog which I never update because I find it hard to get the enthusiasm together to go and open up Blogger. So, I've decided to experiment a bit and blog in both English and Welsh […]

Oooooh Vienna!

July 1, 2004

Ok, I am off to Vienna tomorrow for BlogWalk on Sunday and BlogTalk on Monday and Tuesday. Blogging will be sporadic at best, so you'll just have to amuse yourselves in my archives for a while. If I owe you an email, sorry, I'll get back to you, er, at some point. If you need […]

IRCing from 34,000 ft

June 24, 2004

James blogs and IRCs from his seat on a Lufthansa flight from Munich to the LA, thus joining the *other* mile high club. Due to lack of power points near his seat, he spends an hour in the loo charging his laptop batteries. “Ooh, don't eat the prawns…”

Ooh! Pretty fountain!

June 19, 2004

From Random Acts of Reality this is what a burst water main really should look like, not the pathetic perma-puddle we used to get when I lived at Horton Heath.

Song for the b0rken weblogs

June 17, 2004

There's been a lot of commentary around the net about the unfortunate events surrounding Dave Winer's abrupt closure of weblogs.com, but if you haven't yet read about it, best places to start are posts by David Weinberger, and Tom Matrullo. I was gonna write a post about the nature of responsibility, and how when you […]

New FireFox RSS reader

June 17, 2004

I've just updated FireFox to version 0.9 and downloaded an RSS reader extension. I love FireFox – so much sexier than IE, so much less bloated than Netscape, it really is a good browser and if you haven't converted yet, I strongly recommend that you do so. (Please see update below.) I wish I could […]

June 16, 2004

My good friend and filmic co-conspirator, Vince, has started a blog all of his own, Dragons Fandango. Why don't you pop over and take a look, and give him a wee traffic spike?

Happy 2nd Birthday CnV!

June 16, 2004

This day, two years ago, I thought to myself, 'Ooh, wouldn't it be fun to start a blog?' and so Chocolate and Vodka was born. For the first few months I didn't really know what to do with it. My early posts were mixed in tone and style, and probably very dull for anyone who […]
