DRM

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Interesting essay by Steve Jobs about DRM.

“Through the end of 2006, customers purchased a total of 90 million iPods and 2 billion songs from the iTunes store. On average, that’s 22 songs purchased from the iTunes store for each iPod ever sold.
Today’s most popular iPod holds 1000 songs, and research tells us that the average […]

Birthday bonanza

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

As yesterday was my birthday, last night myself and some friends descended on Guanabara, a Brazilian bar located in the West End, for a couple of drinks (only a couple, honest) and some live music.
I was told by one of staff working the floor a couple of days previously that the live music started around […]

New Year, old habits

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Just a quick update on what’s been happening so far in 2007. So far my aim of writing more on this blog has fallen by the wayside, and January isn’t even over with yet! An auspicious start if ever there was one.
In less than a week I am going to hit 30. A time for […]

DNS updates

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

I am about to update the DNS settings for this domain. As a result this site and my email may be screwed up for a day or two. I normally reply pretty quickly to email so if you send me an email and don’t get a reply within a reasonable amount of time please try […]

Calls not registering

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

For a while now my phone (Sony Ericsson K800i) hasn’t been registering calls that I have missed, dialled etc. It was annoying because if I had missed a call I would have no idea who had called!
Anyway, after searching around I finally came across the solution: Menu -> Settings -> New Events -> Pop-up. […]

Friends Reunited

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Met up with some friends from uni the other night. I hadn’t seen Rikard (far left) for about 7 years and I’ve only seen Max a few times since graduation way back in 2000! It was fun catching up. Just like the good old days. Plenty of nachos and beer too! The picture was taken […]

Buzzwords “R” Us

Monday, November 13th, 2006

Those of you who know me will know that I abhor the use of the term Web 2.0. It’s meaningless! Well it seems I’m not the only one. Mike Moritz, a venture capitalist whose successes include Google and Yahoo to name but a few, was recently asked what Web 2.0 means to him. He replied, […]

YouBoob

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

I managed to kill YouTube! I came across the New Numa video and saw that most of the comments on the first page were rather negative - the video is not worth watching. I also noticed that there were around 13,500 comments so I clicked to see all of them and boom, that’s when I […]

I Woz there

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

On Thursday evening at University College London I went to a talk given by Steve Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple. He was the guy that single-handedly built the Apple I, one of the first, if not the first, personal computers. The rest is history.

The purpose of the event was to promote his […]
