Just watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Brilliant. Watch it. I hear it’s on itunes but if your a bit naughty you’ll probably find it in the usual place. It’s kind of a musical and part vlog part tv series, about a super villain. Sounds stupid but deffo worth watching.
It’s by that guy who did firefly, starring that guy from Starship Troopers and that other guy from firefly and some girl I’ve never seen before.
But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one who compares with you. -John Lennon
Right so came across this which is a way of “fishing” about your browser history, using css and javascript. Tested it out myself. I’m trying to think of applications for it, could have it log visitors’ lists of visited pages and make a nice ‘how many people use which sites’ graph. It could also be used for targeting content and specific users, ie links to my twitter account for twitter users.
If I had a radio advert it’d go something like this.
Hey you! Yeah you! I messaged you on msn and you never got back to me for like 40 minutes. Oh you were away, <sarcasm>that makes it ok then!</sarcasm>.
Never heard of pidgintwitter? no? NO? What is it? Well I’ll tell you, it’s a program written in python which listens to messages coming in on pidgin, when your away, and forwards them to a twitter account. Using a second twitter account you can receive updates on your mobile phone.
Maybe a little too much detail :/
So I’ve give it a name. Latest (and final) version is done. Now includes a ban list of people who’ll only be know by their email address and a daily limit for messages. Get it here. Read about it here.
