Did I mention by the way that the stylesheet for [World in Motion ] was blatantly plagiarised from Meg at notsosoft.com? Nope probably not. Thought I better make this public before I start having hot sweats at night.

Glatt Plagiarism Self-Detection Program (GPSD)

Glatt Plagiarism Self-Detection Program (GPSD) well looks like it is not a natural bent for me then – which is a bit of a relief.

It is official – it

It is official – it is all downhill from 30! I said it would never happen but then I was not 30 – I have been 30 for exactly 105 days now and already I am getting new unheard of headaches and that coupled with falling over in the shower last week – well I reckon I should just make my way to the glue factory 🙁

BOL must be the most annoying site this week

BOL must be the most frustrating site of the week. They are offering buy one – send one to a friend – except I am unable to buy just 1 copy of the book I want as their shopping cart system insists I buy at least 2….. weird

Warning Long Blog…….A worrying thought

Warning Long Blog…….A worrying thought struck me on the way home from work yesterday. It was
the realisation that a new and very disturbing phenomena was beginning to
surface, the domain name sequel. Like the annoying and tragic phenomenon
of the film sequel, where the use of an established name or franchise to
pawn off an inferior production is commonplace, so the death and possible
rebirth of boo.com heralds the dark days of the domain name resurrection.

The internet start-up world is a place in which one of the most
significant of a company’s assets is it’s URL. That memorable line that
allows the .com punter to remember the name of the company once they have
seen it on television or in magazine advertising. Picture a world in
which the best names have already been registered and every entrepreneur
with an idea wants that elusive ‘perfect’ domain name, picture then the
financial death of ‘Hedonism.com’, this world would be the home the domain
name salvage team. A whole industry of people who would buy up start-ups
in financial difficulty in order to make use of their name. Scary.
Capitalism and marketforces are about to shake up the internet world in a
cataclysmic manner, only the strongest will survive, and a rose by any
other name, well they’ll be fair game.

I was just having a look at Jargon Scout when it occurred to me that emailingering and bloglingering could be synonymous!
we could add A key to bloglingering is spending most of your day looking at links your mates send you and adding them to your blog. The rest of the day can be consumed by reading other blogs in order to keep up to date with the blog community.

The news about boo.com ending

The news about boo.com ending up in recievership worried me more than I thought it would. My first reaction was that it was about time the .com revolution took stock and realised you just can’t pump money into a new venture indefinitely. Then after talking to friends in London I was reminded that “Thats people out of work you know, real people with real lives trying to make a living, its not all about company development and e-commerce”
As the morning wears on I realise that this actually isn’t just about the company it’s about people too.
