Making things useful, getting stuff done

links for 2007-01-28

  • Oxford Geek Nights
    Natalie’s organising a Geek Night in Oxford. She sure knows how to throw a good party and is great at encouraging geeks to share knowledge, so I’d recommend anyone who can be there to make the effort to go along!

  • Xena and Gabrielle: Lesbian Icons | AfterEllen.com
    “These hints at a romantic or sexual relationship between the two characters became known as “subtext.””
    Hence almost a million fan fiction stories ending up being written…

  • idproxy.net: Use your Yahoo! account as an OpenID
    “idproxy.net, launched today, is my attempt at speeding up the process [….] In effect, it lets you use your Yahoo! account as an OpenID.”
    Simon working his magic again. Fantastic idea!

  • Comment is free: Davos 07: a rejection of ‘Daily Mailism’
    “If Britain adopted the values of Daily Mailism – national narrowness, prejudice, the idea that foreign countries can still be kicked around, the failure to grasp the urgency of action that must be global on climate change – it would condemn itself to failure in this new world economy, with the consequences for our standard of living, narrowing of the range of choices available to its citizens, and environmental degradation.”

  • Twitter Usernames Change
    Twitter have just made a (fairly fundamental) change to which name is used by the system. What I like is the rather nice help page they’ve put together to explain it all.

  • Twitter / Hicksy: realises he’s been reading …
    Jon relates one of the sad symptoms of over-exposure to Harry Potter… 😉

  • Joel on Software
    “We think that’s a negligible price to pay to know that all you need to tell your mom, or your customer, is “Go to copilot.com, type in this number, and download and run the program you find there.” And to know that it will Just Work.”
