Sunday, September 17th, 2006

One of the fastest ways you can connect to the Internet is via cable as in fibre optic. Now the Koreans claim that they have made it even faster.
To set the scene it is important to understand something about cable. Know that only 16 users can connect to a single fibre optic line. Not sure [...]

Broadband over Gas Lines?

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Ok so this is really out there. You might have heard how broadband Internet can be provided using electric power lines (BPL). Now that I can see as a possibility, even with the inherent issues regarding interference etc, but I am not too sure about this one…
Nethercomm claim that they have the technology to deliver [...]

A Non-Geek View

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

Not sure what "outside" is or was but I think that is what makes it funny. Servers going down is a major catastrophe and one that should not be ignored. Plus if you left the PC all you would think about is the fact that the bloody servers are down!

Is There More to Web 2.0?

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

I read an interesting blog post today regarding the flood of Web 2.0 web sites and start-ups that are based around social networks.

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

I am serious about security, but I think this might be taking things a bit far…

Free Seal Generator

Friday, September 8th, 2006

I see this need all over the place. People wanting to be able to easily create custom images like avatars, logo’s, images. Custom ones for a purpose that they want it for. This is another great example of services starting to fill that need. It is called Official Seal Generator from says-it.com.
It is exactly what [...]

How Web 2.0 Aware are You?

Friday, September 8th, 2006

This is cool. I found this via Micro Persuasion. The site is called "How Web 2.0-aware Are You?". It is a little freaky though as it uses a method by which it "tests" how many sites out of a list that the site deems "very Web 2.0ish".
