Subcide

About a month ago while doing some hardcore overtime at work, I became obsessed with the Idea of being able to turn on my electric blanket remotely so that I could come home and go to sleep straight away. (a little sad I know...)

So anyway, my research on the topic eventually lead me to X10 Home Automation units, which aparently everyone but me had heard of before.

Vodafone announced their iPhone plan pricing today, which allows you to have a whopping 1GB of data a month for the small sum of $6200 NZD (4700 USD) over 2 years.

I hate boring website content. Like millions of other internet users I have to sit there and actually *read* this stuff, but I also get the fantastic job of making these sites which pain me to read. On the whole its just stagnant informational text, 'keyword-rich' text meant just for search engine robots, or blatant push marketing that screams at your eyeballs.

Everything is up and running, the network seems to be working, we've sorted out or winning strategy, and are all blogging before the event starts.

All the relevant sites you need are:

www.fullcodepress.com for general info, vlogs, blogs, everything.

www.codeblacks.com for our own personal blogging and most likely crazyness

The strengths of Apple software applications lie in their consistant interfaces, their ease of use(largely because of this consistancy) and the way they integrate very well with other applications, and the OS. Safari for Windows does none of these.

I just got back from an event called The Great Blend, which was basically a panel discussion about the present and future of online media.

The event was run by Russell Brown of publicaddress.net, and he oversaw the panel of local and ex-pat guests.

I think most internet users take the multi-cultural nature of the web for granted. I think english language sites are probably worse for this than anyone. They very rarely link to sites of other languages, as too many english speakers are not bilingual. People stay in their own comfortable circles and ignore other languages and cultures.
