GoDaddy recently formally set themselves up in Canada and started offering the .ca domain through their service. Are they likely to do something similar for the UK?
We’re a pretty decent sized market over here, I’m sure, and with no language/translation issues, the UK is an ideal frontier.
GoDaddy currently has around 25% of the global market [...]

I have a new productivity tool, it’s called the Mail.app Quit button.
Not only is email the most intrusive distractor of focused task completion, but it’s a grand excuse to choose not to focus. Control over tasks is about just that: control. A permanently open email client is anything but control. Emails pop in at any [...]

Big internet/mail order company + order is late on delivery + it’s the week leading up to Christmas = get a cuppa, this Customer Service call is going to take a while.
Amazon’s Customer Service number is tough to find. I couldn’t see it immediately so it took jEN’s honed search skills tolocate, tucked away on [...]

Pacific Coast Hellway is up for grabs - at least for a day.
Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff, producer and host of Pacific Coast Hellway, is doing this for the DAVID FOSTER FOUNDATION, a charity set up to provide financial and emotional help to the families of children needing organ transplants. What a superb way to raise money, [...]

Over the past few weeks, or more accurately months, NoodleSpoon Zero has been quietly assembled - and sometimes frustratingly re-assembled - for no other reason than I think it has some funny moments.
Unashamedly inspired by Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken, NoodleSpoon mixes sound and vision from a variety of sources, sometimes empathetic, sometimes contrasting. I can [...]

Those programmes, which is what we see, are odd, often dark, satirical and downright, nose-squirtingly funny sketches where stop-frame animated celebrity and movie/TV character figures are used and abused.Interestingly, the chicken doesn’t appear in the above graphic, nor does he seem to appear in the show after the titles…. It doesn’t quite have the same effect without the rather unique timbre of MeatWad’s voice, but here are some MeatWad and other classic Aquateen quotes.If you don’t have access to Bravo, then you can see full episodes at the [adult swim] website.

Trials and tribulations with garageband - it’s been such a tortuous arse! But the podcast finally get’s sorted, erm… which is evident.
It’s hot, the air-con is off, the window’s open and yes, we live next to a road.
A teeny bit more on positive progress with Podshow, Podshow+ and the neccessary focus on listeners.
Billie Piper’s mesmerising [...]

I finally managed to squeeze a post out back on the much neglected Audacious Communications blog
This one is about our relationships with our email inboxes, the difficulty in persuading email users to switch to RSS, and some of the pitfalls slowing this new technology’s acceptance as a commercial communications tool.

But with these different, focused aspects to the content here, wouldn’t it be great for you, the regular visitor, to filter out all the stuff you are not interested in?For example, let’s say you come here to keep up with what I’m spouting about podcasting…. The rest will be available of course, behind a click or two, but you can be pretty sure that you are not going to have to scroll or navigate through what to you is irrelevant waffle, to find the waffle that is relevant.I’ve been conscious about this issue of broad discussion topics here for a while, but still want to retain this as a single personal space rather than splitting it off into several niche blogs.
