YouTube Contest Challenges Users To Make A ‘Good’ Video
The youtube asks for some decent content parody! Like google care when they are raking in that many ad impressions.
Super hot MacBook and the glass table
No it’s not the new Harry Potter book title. The moral of this story though is never ever leave a MacBook on even if it is cosed and asleep. Ever!
I was out but I presume the sleeping Apple laptop was hotter than the tempered glass dining table could take 🙁
No more dining table and a broken MacBook too 🙁
Oh well it’s not the first time and I really should have learned from the last Mac Cube G4 and glass desk incident

Job website hit by major breach
Hackers are believed to have stolen the personal details of millions of people using the online job site Monster.
Users around the world have been affected, including the 4.5 million users of the UK site.
They of course didn’t think to email me or change account passwords by default instead they put a tiny notification about security on their homepage and advise users to change their password.
I went one better. I cancelled my account. Muppets!

Bonds TV Commercial with Michael Clarke and Pat Rafter playing tennis
Bonds advert featuring Pat Rafter and Michael Clarke with Michael stripping part way through and catching the tennis ball in his briefs! Very similar in fact to the previous soccer bonds advert

Win £1000 and design a new 50p coin
The Royal Mint are asking the public to design one of 27 coins to represent sports from Archery through to Wrestling. Designs however, must not include a recognisable likeness of a known sportsman or sportswoman. There are some more rules and you must follow the template given as some elements remain static like the London 2012, London Olympic Games Logo. So if you want to design a coin for the 30th Olympiad head on over to royalmintcompetition.co.uk

Mac OS X and Lotus Notes
It’s interesting that there doesn’t seem to be that much information about Notes and Mac OS X since this site now seems to attract a lot of visitors from Google because of this post about gripes with Lotus Notes on OS X maybe I’ll slowly build up a resource page for things related to Notes.
So anyway todays problem with notes is that when you open a zip and expand it all works fine – only problem is I have no idea where it has downloaded to. It’s not Desktop – default for most programmes. It’s not Downloads – the new default for Tiger and 10.5 systems.
Lotus Notes stores temporary files on a hidden temp folder when you double click on attached file : /private/var/folders so to find it you need to use terminal to show hidden files see this post on how to show finder hidden files or you can press Command+Shift+G when in finder to open the “Go to folder” menu item, and manually type the path to /private/var/folders/
Simple eh? Grrrr

The best job in the world?
Want to be an island caretaker at the Great Barrier Reef? Yes so do I and probably hundreds of thousands of others – especially since the salary is ridiculously high too. £73,500 and a six month contract – smells like a tourism campaign to me but hey I’m heading on over to islandreefjob.com with everyone else – will let you know how I get on 😉

cool new browser plugin
Thanks Dave for sending me a link to cooliris which is a great browser plugin – I love Flickr and now with the help of cooliris browsing photostreams is much more fun and so much easier – cooliris works on hundreds of sharing and web 2.0 websites, including the likes of Bebo, Facebook, Friendster, Google, Yahoo and Photobucket oh and not forgetting YouTube

traffic by country thanks to flagcounter.com
I don’t often add counters but this one is actually quite fun as it splits by country – obviously not wholly accurate as no geo-detect ever is because of the way traffic is routed by individual ISPs
