With Or Without You (tube)

OK so it's been a while since my last blog. But just as Bono declares almost nightly to the Edge, I can't live with or without you too. (see what I did there?)

I'm quite familiar with youtube and I've uploaded many a video over the years. The most popular of these is a video I made for my friend's band (complete with obligatory spelling mistake). The video has been viewed 734 times, it's not something I've ever really thought about until now but that's quite a lot of views for a video that was inspired by insomnia. (And more specifically the idea that setting a mundane, unimportant task is the best way to cure it.) I didn't get back to sleep that night..
 Youtube also allows private videos and unlisted videos, which I've availed of before. Somewhat embarrassingly I have sent the odd private video to certain particular friends. Nothing too dodgy mind you! But the acoustic guitar and the singing of a tune is no longer reserved for the session after the session or the session after the session after the session.

 Well it all depends on your definition of "dodgy" I suppose...

Baxter Crawley has been spending an inordinate and inexcusable amount of time lurking in the journal section. He's up to something...

Colm (my rather dull alter-ego) has signed up for twitter. He's a twit now...

Web 2.0 and Food

Du$ty's Corner

You can peck at your pal's bookmarks on delicious for a bit of light web grazing. Or you can devour RSS feeds all day. I'm thinking of designing an application called "Brekkie". For use first thing in the morning for web 2.0's serial time-killers. Light hearted, irreverant and as disposable as your typical morning radio show that the general population gorge on while their cornflakes go soggy. A pun too many?

It'd be awful but so is the morning.

RSS feeds, Du$ty Buxxx and Feed Demon: A match made straight outta' hell

Maybe if it was doused in curry sauce...

and Du$ty was three sheets to the wind.

"Social" bookmarking isn't for me. It would be a handy tool for a group working on a collaborative project but I don't see a huge social element in the setup.

Do ants yawn and stretch in the morning before settling into a days work?

The debate continues.

War of Suspicion

I think google wants to shut me down. But they can't silence me, I'm the last angry man. If you want me to phone ahead of my visit or accept the fact you've locked the front door, I'll climb through the bathroom window baby.
'Cos I'm Dusty Buxxx and that's the way I roll.
Myself and Shelvin have noticed some suspicious borrowing patterns over teaching practice. I have revoked his permission to attend the Neat-Lee family conference in order to get to the bottom of this.
