Ajax me up, baby!

Filed under mychores, web 2.x | No Comments

Just a little demo of what i have managed to achieve tonight on MyChores:

Gosh, i love Prototype! :)
If you don’t understand why that’s so thrilling, don’t worry! I get a little bit excitable by little things sometimes! The important thing is that i did this by intention, rather than just copy-pasting other people’s code until [...]

Twitter TOS - my final word

Filed under twitter, web 2.x | 2 Comments

This whole Ariel Waldman thing has turned into an enormous, fierce debate with some people strongly supporting Ariel, some people congratulating Twitter for not turning into a nanny service, some people claiming it’s all lies and a publicity stunt, and many other opinions in between.
My opinion is: I don’t care whether Ariel made it all [...]

To all who use Twitter: you need to be aware of this:
Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service
This story is shocking in the extreme. After months of ongoing bullying, harassment, foul language, hate speech, smearing of a person’s identity, Twitter had [...]

On Twitter, and patience.

Filed under mychores, rant, web 2.x | No Comments

Somebody has written a post complaining about the performance of Twitter, and i have to say, i am upset at both the post and the comments in response.

A slow, lazy Caturday

Filed under lolcats, mychores, web 2.x | 2 Comments

Firstly, today’s Caturday picture is extremely special because it features Lola’s cat, Ivan!

Such a cutie!! :)
I was thinking of going to Basingstoke today but maybe i can’t be bothered. I haven’t really decided, which probably means i will end up not going. Perhaps i’ll just look around Winchester instead. I have a £50 M&S voucher, [...]
