I went to play the ol’ Some Adventure Guy on the new iOS4 on my 3GS (sooo many TLAs!) – but alas, my already crappy controls had become even more crappier! And it looks like a crazy change (hopefully bug) in webkit’s touch handling is to blame.
humans.txt
Web3.0 – the semantic web – is just around the corner (I think we’re at Web2.8.0 at the moment) which means the days of human relevance is coming to an end. We had a good run, and we contributed a lot of semi-interesting things, but now it’s the machines turn.
One of the initial problems they are going to face is how to ensure their services are being consumed by their intended audience – and not bandwidth-wasting humans. That’s why I’ve created the humans.txt captcha.
Argy-Bargy

As those of you with an interest in such things may know, I recently packed up my ruck sack and trundled over to Paris to work at a very cool French company – making some snazzy web apps, mobile apps, and a fantastic application framework. One of the mobile web apps required a scrolling area surround by fixed position elements – not something you can do out of the box on the iPhone. While researching a few possible third-party solutions to the problem, I knocked up this little random colour generator thing: R-G-Bargy
As always, if you’re on an iPhone then load up R-G-Bargy in Safari and “Add to homepage”.
Google will help

(I was looking for “Someone stole my sleeping bag”… but it turns out I was suffering a long-term case of misheard lyrics.)
Amazing tech news just announced
In an unbelievable twist in the long-standing feud between two rival tech companies, one of the companies today announced or admitted some kind of news that will dramatically alter their current standing in the tech community and greatly impact their relationship with rival company.
My co-worker recently asked me what the deal was with all the post-it notes that perpetually orbited me, getting lodged in my hair and coffee and such. My overly detailed explanation caused me to realise that I’d developed a trick (that perhaps everyone has been doing forever – I dunno) which might also be useful to others.
