One Louder (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
Oversharers that we are, Twitter has been asking us "What are you doing?" and we have responded with responses, squeezed into that little box. I don't like having my personality squeezed so. And so I have opted to update my status on Facebook (or both Twitter and FB when I remember) and blog here where people can't tell me to "zip it, lady" part way through a post. Whatever. I...

Originally published at tansyrr.com . You can comment here or there . 32403 / 50000 I’m catching up on the Alan Davies “It’s Up For Grabs Now” football podcast, which is awesome (especially the Alan Davies impersonation of Arsene Wenger – priceless) but sadly this is last week’s episode and features Alan’s list of the 6 players we need to stay fit all season...

I love to find good recipes so I thought I'd share both recipe links and favorite recipe sites today. Just so you know... I'm writing this ahead of time so I can work on the Recommendations list Monday. :) Sally posted her favorite quiche recipe this week... here . I'm going to try it later this week. Stephanie's yummy (and very British) Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe is near the end of this post . It...

Authored by: Francisco Noguera That's right, dear reader. If you've seen it all or expect this post to be about smart phones and non-phone applications, think again. Food for thought today is Nigel Waller's Movirtu , which may well convince you that the end of the phone as we know it is getting close. Before I jump into the details of who Nigel Waller is and what Movirtu is set to achieve, let us...

I’ve been cleaning up my RRS reader Bloglines and came across these videos. I find them both truly inspiring. The Last Lecture – Randy Pausch A very moving and inspiring “last lecture” from Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who (Oct. 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007. Find more [...]

6:44 pm Bloglines doesn’t seem to like Yahoo Pipes feeds, so I’ve moved to Google Reader. It’s better than I remember from a couple of years ago. This post was generated automatically using the script described here.
The Incredible Adventures of Phoebe Dot (Free subscription) | 11/08/2009
Just got back from the most lovely weekend away. We met up with some other 'green parents' in the forest of dean for a relaxing and fun two days. :) Being surrounded by like minded people in an environment where breastfeeding and tandem feeding, cloth nappies and EC, and gentle parenting are the norm rather than the exception was wonderful! :) I've come away with lots of tips and a renewed enthusiasm...

Joseph Scott has a post on the main WordPress site that explains that they are now supporting the two enhancements that were announced here on October 16. What this means: Now any aggregator that wants instant updates of WordPress sites can have it. It was an issue for complex sites like Google Reader, that's why we enhanced our apps, so they could hook into rssCloud and provide instant updates to...

The other day as I was moving my RSS feeds from Bloglines to Google Reader [1], I checked to see when was the last time I posted. Much to my shock, it had been back in August, and it was about an incident that had happened in July. All this time, I had [...]

I can't believe it's Saturday and the week is behind us. I have no idea what I actually got done this past week but I know it was a lot and I went through it all at about 70 MPH with no rear view mirror. I had projects at the school Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. That really threw me off and left me with little time for anything else. Throw in work, kids activities, getting ready for Halloween,...

In a fit of enthusiasm, DH bought a copy of the aforementioned abomination software and installed it yesterday on our main desktop computer downstairs. What do I think ? Disappointed is an understatement. The display is pants rubbish, and unless you have it set on the largest font size, web pages on an old -fashioned monitor are appallingly difficult to read.It is very much designed for modern flat...
Res Ipsa Poker (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009
Okay, this is a really stupid question, but I'll throw it out there anyway: Would anyone have a recommendation for a feed aggregator (a la Bloglines or Google Reader) that works with Twitter feeds? I'm looking for the laziest solution possible, basically. Nothing happening around here. No poker. I did take a survey sent to me by Full Tilt - I kind of suspect I wasn't really the target audience. None...

Ishbel, that is. Really, 3657 people can't be wrong. I'm using some of my beautiful baby alpaca from Donyale - colourway "Splat!". I don't think the colourway actually has an ! in it, but I always see it that way in my mind. This yarn is bee-u-di-ful, can I just say? Soft as a.. well, baby alpaca, and a delight to knit with. Lucky I have another colourway stashed (Sir Walter) because I have...
