Musings of a Software Engineer

After searching today for wordpress interfaces for the iPod touch I found one at wordpress.org. So I’ve just installed this on to my touch and am using it for this post.
It’s really simple to install and setup, it’s really well interfaced into the touch enabling the posting pictures that are already on the phone.
Just [...]

I was sat in the garden doing some volunteer work on my netbook.  Sadly I went back to windows to do this because my linux is still not setup quite right.  I’m sure I’ll post about this shortly when I find the time to read all the documentation to get things setup correctly.
Anyway back to [...]

Its amazing how modern technology has come along. I was listening to a podcast of the News Quiz when they mentioned a gap year student mum had GPS’d her child while they were travelling.  I’m not sure whether this is the best cause of action with your child but I can understand that it [...]

Now I have the dual boot setup I thought that it would be great to be able to see the rest of the web correctly apart from my site (which only has the one flash object at the moment).  So I did the obvious, I typed in flash plugin linux into google and hit the [...]

Facebook has been going now for what seems like a life time…. actually thinking about it in computing terms it probably is a life time!  Opening the API to allow people to program “applications” for facebook was an imspired decision, there is now thousands upon thousands of “applications”.  The downside that among those thousands of [...]

A week or so ago I posted a 360 degree flash picture of a church at the top of hill in Devon. It was an amazing location and a lovely day so I thought that I would take lots of pictures to enable me to create an image like this. I already had [...]

As promised using a great web resource called webthumb from bluga.net here some thumbnails of the mentioned sites.
www.google.com
Prototype from 1998

Beta from 1999

Its a shame that alot of the google images are missing on some of these sites.

I remember seeing this a couple of years ago with the way back machine.  The internet archive thousands and thousands of internet pages reaching back to 1996 (actually its probably more like billions and billions of pages!!).  I noticed it again a couple of weeks ago with an article on the register about it being [...]
