Send an email to mrspeaker@gmail.com with a subject line that begins with sms (and a space), and the remainder of the subject line will be delivered to my mobile phone as a text message. Go on… give it a try… Yep, it worked. Pretty nifty hey? Ok, Ok, just one message is fine, thanks. Jeeez. […]
The Secret Life of The Secret Life Of
Monday, November 26, 2007
While flicking casually through various shoutcast TV streams today, I came to focus my attention on an old documentary about computers, or offices, or machines, or office workers, or computerised office workers, or something. It was pretty good. Anyhoo, I think it was called “The Secret Life of Offices”, or “The Secret Life of Computerised […]
Little animated-gif indicator AJAX thingos
Saturday, November 24, 2007
I’ve mentioned “spinner” on this page a bunch of times – I hope that’s what they are called… “little animated-gif indicator AJAX thingos” doesn’t sound quite right.

WallBot: The Post-Modern Prometheus
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Talented people. God I hate them. How dare they sit around making our meagre accomplishments look meagre? Well, they dare. They dare. Case in point: Graffiti Wall for Facebook.

TLA FYI
Friday, October 5, 2007
Ahh, Three-Letter Acronyms: Time savers, confusion makers, sources of eternal annoyance. TLAs make managers feel competent, and let imaginative people enter rude words on high-score tables.

Vertical Selecting
Friday, August 31, 2007
Here’s a helpful little mouse-wielding tip for all you Windows users out there (Oops, “mouse” and “Windows” – there goes my geek cred.)… Did you know that you can vertically select text in some programs? Well you can, with the power of ALT + mouse! Selecting text with a mouse is a very important computer-user […]
Circuit Bending
Tuesday, August 21, 2007
Possession of low-voltage consumer electronics. A love of very noisy things. A do-it-yourself aesthetic – Do you possess these items and/or attributes? Then come join the Circuit Bending hoedown! It’s disturbing and easy! Here’s the how and why (no, actually, the how and what)… Circuit Bending is the art of messing with the electronics inside […]
