Moving home is the perfect excuse to clear out all those things I no longer have use of. But the options are narrowing in where sell stuff.
For many of us, eBay remains the default location for second hand goods on the net. Paper-based classifieds having long gone to the dogs and most online classified still [...]

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.

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.
