From Facebook to LJ

16th Apr, 2008 at 10:04 AM

I'm just testing a new Facebook app that allows you to post to your blog(s) from Facebook.

It's rather neat, if very basic.

Does it work?

Doctor Who Cinema Trailer **Best Quality**

Gary Gygax, the guy who invented a hobby, passed on yesterday. I actually exchanged some e-mails with him a few years back, when I was working on a very, very short-lived gaming magazine. He seemed like a decent bloke, with a genuine passion for what he did.

He'll be missed.

I've probably asked this before, but things move on...

Is there a Windows LJ client that is palpably better than using the web interface?

Thankyouverymuch.

adders: signs of LJ life detected

Hello. Me again.

Yes, I'm still here. Yes, I'm still reading (and commenting sometimes) on LJ. But no, I'm not using it very much. And that bothers me. Why?

Well, while I was at Le Web 3 in Paris at the tail end of last year, I had the chance to catch up with the CEO of Six Apart, as we're enterprise customers of theirs. One of the things he talked about was the sale of LJ to SUP, and Chris prefaced the discussion with "I know you're a Livejournal user, but…"

And that left me thinking: am I really a Livejournal user any more? I mean, I rarely ever post here, and most of the time it's just a push from my Vox. And it's not as if I'm short on blogs to maintain:

One Man & His Blog
Tincan Alley
Leafshine: Lust for Flower
Coffee & Complexity
Fishnets & Fedoras

As you can see, the last two are a little under-maintained right now. :)

So, sensibly speaking, I should just give up on LJ. But I can't quite bring myself to do so, and here's why…

On Vox: Christmas Day: Progress So Far

Poems from Guantanamo: The Detainees Speak

My in-laws run Christmas rather differently to the Tinworth clan. At home, all the present opening is done by about 12pm at the latest - and that's a laggardly Christmas.

Here in Bristol? It's nearly 3pm and we've opened precisely one present so far. From my mother-in-law, I have received Poems from Guantanamo: The Detainees Speak. Yup, a book of poems from inmates at Guantanamo Bay. Not quite sure what to make of that…

Anyway, I must go make roast potatoes now.

On Vox: On The Beach - 1998

21st Dec, 2007 at 8:05 AM

I've been putting the scanner through its paces again, this time scanning some film I shot on the beach in Suffolk around October 1998. Here's Mum & Dad, enjoying the, uh, "bracing" conditions:
