Print-Friendly Bookmarklet
Adverts get pretty annoying when you're trying to concentrate on the details of a technical article. The tendency to stick bloody great images just after the first paragraph is something that I especially find irritating. I tend to find myself hitting "print friendly" links as soon as possible.

MS Bloggers in FOAF; Java Bloggers Next?
Dan Brickley has written up a note on the FOAF Wiki about using the foaf:weblog property, pointing to an OPML listing of Microsoft bloggers.

Glancing and Sniffing
Interesting looking project from Matt Web. A desktop application that lets you "glance" at your friends. Glancing This is the result of Matt asking: "What's the smallest scale of social interaction that can take place online?" Interesting. I've been thinking along similar lines recently, wondering about other mechanisms for web annotation/path creation. Analysing little trails … Continue reading Glancing and Sniffing
Canterbury Tales
The BBC have just started a series of modern adaptations of Chaucers Canterbury Tales. I've just finished watching the first of these, The Millers Tale, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Funny and bawdy; what more can you ask? If, like me, you've never read the original poems then you may be interested to know that the … Continue reading Canterbury Tales
