Debbie Barham
Obituary
This is so sad. Debbie was one of the first people I met online, when she used to hang out on the VT100-based nightmare that was Delphi Internet Services, my first internet job, back in 1994.
She was startling bright, fun, and hilarious. I never realised that she would only have been 17/18 […]

Juno and Shazam -a match in heaven
Juno Records
this site is brilliant, but I don’t want to spend 4 hours a week sittting in front of a browser listening to MP3 clips. I want to spend 4 hours a week listening to mp3 clips on the bus on my ipod.

Visualising Conversations II
I suppose it’s an indication of my unfamilarity with doing moving pictures on the interweb that I produced a hideously overlarge file for my demo. Combined with the fact that we were rushing like crazy so that Dory could get home to Oskar, and in time for Tom to take the stage. Thanks to Nick, […]

What has been amazing

and from a load of webloggers everywhere.
but, as ever, NTK does it best.
It’s dark times, but they do make a difference.

Disability Rights Commission launches website investigation
Story here. The Disability Rights Commission is going to target 1000 sites for Accessibility compliance. Can’t find anywhere that says which sites they’ll be testing, but I’d stick Woolwich’s atrocious online bank and Nat West’s even worse one on there. Come to think of it, I’d put the Disability Rights Commission themselves on […]
