Dogster: The Movie

Hehe, check out the The Dogster Movie…just goes to show that Ted is as mad as bag of snakes.

Xooglers

In case you havn’t seen it, some Ex Googlers have started a blog recently to tell some of their stories from the early days…it is a great read, Xooglers.
I started about half way through and found that actually I wanted to read everything starting from the oldest posts and moving forward, because the stories they [...]

Tagalyzer

OK, so here’s a bit of an experiment…
Try clicking this link.
What you’ll see is a breakdown of recent news, blog posts, bookmarks, and pictures related to the Wikipedia article on hackers, achieved by running a content analysis of the wikipedia page and searching for related content. Cool huh?
Tagalyzer.com takes a referring url and applies the [...]

Really Simple Feed Reader

LOL, this is classic…I was doing some cleanup today and uncovered this dusty old piece of code…my idea of a really simple web based feed reader circa 2001/2002, which I put up here just for the record.
Please don’t laugh, and remember this dates back before Bloglines appeared. I’m guessing around late 2001.
The funny thing is [...]

Extreme Makeover: Surfarama

If you’re reading this the old fashioned way (in a browser), then you’ll no doubt notice the new design.
It’s a Wordpress port of a template designed by the very talented Andreas Viklund for OSWD…unfortunately it is a bit of a hack involving changes to some core files, so probably isn’t very useful for regular theme [...]

Bloomin’ Zoomin!

Richard McManus links to a post on WellUrban today about Zoomin…the closest thing in New Zealand to Google Maps. My interest was tweaked because the writer alludes to the impending release of a Zoomin API…whoopee, that’s great news.
And at the same time it reminds me of one of my pet peeves: web sites with a [...]

We’re all going to die

I am always the last person to get these things…but if you havn’t already checked out End of the World, go and have a laugh.

But wait, there’s more!

I need to simplify man…and I need to make some space on my dev box, so it’s all gotta go. Starting with Linkroll.com which is now listed on eBay…don’t be shy. Delight and amaze your friends with your very own social bookmarking site. Why entrust your bookmarks to someone else’s bookmarking site when you can [...]

eBay drops charges for developers network

eBay drops charges for developers network…sweet, this really is good news.
Now we just need to find the extra hours in the day to hack on all this stuff ;)
- I hear you killed a man Billy…why’d ya kill him?
- He’s hackin’ on me
Name the movie.

Auckland Classifieds c/o Ning

The dominant online auction/classifieds outfit in New Zealand is not eBay, but rather a home grown company, TradeMe. They are by far the busiest local site around and have done really well. I like it.
No reason though why we can’t have another, especially when it is free and developed courtesy of coolio web2.0ish web services [...]
