Speaking of RSS

Posted by: Matt In: Internet| Tech

I have syndicated my feeds with Feedburner so I can keep on top of who reads my feeds (1 at the moment).
If you have them previously bookmarked, please update them to the new service on the right hand side or RSS icon in Firefox.
And if you dont use RSS, do so. Use Google Reader!

Google Reader glitch

Posted by: Matt In: Internet| Tech

I have just moved to Google Reader to keep track of all of my RSS feeds. The main reason behind this was that Firefox didnt adequately suit my needs and Data has been singing its praises for a while now.

For quite a while now I have been looking at getting a laptop. I like the idea of being able to move my work about with me, connect to the internet wirelessly, take it on holiday etc. I have also been especially interested in getting a Mac. The new range of Macbook’s are a little [...]

South Park meets WoW

Posted by: Matt In: Internet

I have been a big fan of the new series of South Park, but the newest of Season 10 had me in stitches. It shows all four of the boys getting revenge on a player in the World Of Warcraft. Even if you arent a massive gamer or South Park fan, I am sure you [...]

Birthday luck

Posted by: Matt In: Happy| Spendage

I didnt want to plaster the fact it was my birthday over the interweb on the day, so I will tell you about the good fortune I experienced last Saturday (30th).
I had risen early, opened my cards and presents and wanted to go out into town to spend some of the money I had been [...]

Bruised Ribs

Posted by: Matt In: Sport

Argh, what a pain! (Literally).
I played football on Sunday, and right at the start of the match I collided with the goalkeeper, who’s knee stuck me plum in the ribcage directly where my heart was. Whilst my heart is fine, my movement and my breathing has become somewhat painful. Leaving two days rest, I stupidly [...]

Ego boosting…

Posted by: Matt In: General

We all have those days where you type in your name into Google, just to see if you are in some way famous for five minutes.
