Q: Do workaholics accomplish more than people who work fewer hours?

A:
Often, they don’t. That is because, as perfectionists, they may become
so fixated on inconsequential details that they find it hard to move on
to the next task, [Psychiatrist Bryan] Robinson said.

Web Design Gallery meets Web 2.0 Gallery. Very handy...

Sight ObserverThere are often two key areas to the R&D I do online. One is keeping up with design trends and the other is keeping up with Web 2.0 applications - and anyone else that is doing exciting things online in the vein of Saas (Software as a Service).

 

Getting the country right

It might just be me, but I don't understand when I set my country profile data to the UK, why the Rubicon project chooses to serve ad  for a US audience...

The keys to using Macspeech Dictate

Tagged:

Macspeech DictateIf you have a copy of MacSpeech Dictate and can't understand why everybody raves about because it doesn't work you, there is hope. After many attempts to get MacSpeech working correctly for me I hadn't given up. And as this is not a cheap piece of software I considered looking for the moneyback guarantee. I have tried installing four different profiles and two different vocal types. It seems to me the best way to get results with MacSpeech Dictate starts with the voice training.

New Google Friends Service - Friend Connect

Tagged:

Google Friend ConnectGoogle have launched a new service that allows you to include social networking features on your website even if your website doesn't support social networking features. The link I was given today returned a 404 error which is hilarious for a Google service. But I'm sure the service will be launched with full fanfare in the coming days, weeks and months.

 

To far for Google or just a great app?

Tagged:  •    •  

I have a fairly strong Google link. I use everything Google and love it. But how far is too far? I have only recently discovered Google Maps and have to say wow - what a great app add on. But I do worry where all this is leading us...or have I been reading to many Robert Ludlum books...

Go to http://maps.google.com, search for 'times square, ny' and then click on the street view link under the photo on the little marker.

the Rubicon Project - Aggreagted ads with a difference?

Tagged:

I am playing with the Rubicon Project at the moment. A form of aggregation with ad groups from different advertising channels.
So far it is interesting to see what it produces. Mostly I have been getting Google ads but from time to time an image ad will show. The last one was an Eminem ad...not quite what this site is about so not sure how they profile ads but...we will see.

You can see what is served in the block in the far right column at the bottom.

Poor mans Ubuntu media server

Tagged:

So with all my spare time...i have set up my ubuntu box to my TV. This works great except for the fact that my TV only accepts VGA input of 1024x768 meaning all that widescreen glory is lost.

If, however, I had a more intelligent TV this would be a suitable solution without having to buy an appleTV. You don't need software, I just transfer media/video files to the ubuntu box and play them.

Hot UK Deals redesign their site - what were they thinking?

Tagged:

HKUD - Hot UK Deals redesigned their site today. The only question is why? It looks awful and the formatting is completely messed up. If it ain't broke guys - don't fix it. I am guessing sites like Feed Me Deals (yes - I am a member) will be picking up new members after HKUD dropped a bomb on theirs. They have better features anyway.
