Google streetview now available in AU!!
August 7th, 2008 | Category: Geek / Tech, News: Australian, Software
Australia is the forth country to have google streetview. Streetview is a 360˙ “car-eyes’s-view” of your location.
GPS and 360˙camera equipped cars drive the roads taking a photo every now and then, automatically tagging them with the geo-coordinates, stitches them up and BANG! On an interactive map. Its really quite mind blowing. Show your mum, she’ll be all like, “woah”.

I find that one of OS X’s biggest annoyance’s is its text highlight colour. I know, its a minor thing - but for the past couple of operating systems its been a choice of about 8 pastel colours. Very hard to see when the page is full of text.
I found that Leopard has finally got “other colour”…
I’m using a bright yellow - that scream’s WOLF. Maybe slightly ugly around the searchfields, URL dropdow suggestions etc… but at least my searching is easier on the eye.

Deleting emails
July 16th, 2008 | Category: Advice, Apple, Geek / Tech, General, Microsoft, Software, Work
Do you guys ever delete emails? I most certainly delete spam, and junkemails, but never delete normal mail. People at my work delete emails that are three months old!! I can’t for the life of me, understand why. Joel reckons cos its gunks up the server, but shouldn’t the server do some kinda archive thing?
I usually bring the email down to my computer then store it in an archive folder. Cos what if i need to search for an email thats ages old?! Tough luck Australia! You’ve deleted that lolcat email!!
To delete or archive - is my question.

This is probably my favourite part of this song (maybe one of my favourite songs) - by Tool. Listened to this on the way home and got excited!
Unfortunately this isn’t available for digital download. You gotta go buy it from the record shop the old way… Don’t steal these guys - they’re worth it :)
Saturn comes back around
Shows you everything
Lets you choose what you will,
Or will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone
Or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child
Light and innocent
The ultimate zing!
Last.fm
July 15th, 2008 | Category: Advice, Geek / Tech, Music, Thoughts
anyone else use this? I know it’s been around for years, but once you use it (or run it in the background) you can get quite a healthy perscription of what music you like, and then it recommends stuff based on what you like.
For win/osx/nix - most apps are supported (iTunes, winamp, etc)
Anyways, I only have Toolman and slevin as friends on it!
Do you use last.fm? Like it? Wanna be friends?
