Twitter Digests
I’ve just switched off the automatic posting of Twitter digests to this blog, and given my Tweets a nice little home in the sidebar. Seeing my blog fill up with posts called something like “Twitter Updates for 2008-04-03” and looking at the ramblings within made it look like I had abandoned it (I’ve just been having a break!).
So hopefully, back to the blogging, and let’s keep Twitter to one side

Being @tag on Twitter
When I signed up to Twitter in early February 2007 I wanted as short a username as possible, and as Twitter was still young, I was able to get a three letter username – @tag – which are my initials (@tom had gone) to save on those precious 140 characters. Twitter didn’t do tagging, and [...]

A quick post to mention that a few native Symbian S60 Twitter clients are under development. I haven’t installed or tried any of these, but when I have the time, I’ll post my feedback here.
Gravity
Gravity will be a commercial product, developed by mobileways, who already offer native S60 Twitter functionality within their WirelessIRC software. From [...]

After a brief sojorn with having my blog hosted by Tumblr, I have returned to hosting it myself using WordPress. Whilst I love the tools that Tumblr provides, I just found it all a bit too limiting.
Seeing some of the wonderful WordPress blogs written by folks that I met at BathCamp made me realise my [...]

I’m toying with the idea of extending my use of Twitter to cross post the titles and URLs of new posts on this blog (and others that I contribute to) as a kind of aggregator as well as micro-blogging platform. I’ll be using Alex King’s Twitter Tools WordPress plugin to to the job.
If all goes [...]

I’ve noticed a new type of spam in the past month or so. Buried in the hundreds of spam comments left on this blog and the countless others that I look after I’ve noted that some of them are trackbacks containing excerpts of my own posts. They have often been subtlely changed by using synonyms [...]
Testing Ecto 3 alpha

Way back in the dim and distant past, before my other blog, Past Thinking, began to focus solely upon heritage matters, I reviewed Ecto 2. Now, 2 years later, I’m writing this with the alpha version of Ecto 3.
This isn’t a full review – this is really just a test drive of the alpha version, [...]

WordPressDash Success

Well, it seems that WordPressDash worked as planned with WordPress 2.1.2, so hopefully this should see me posting here more frequently, if this widget (which I had used a long time ago, but had forgotten) is hanging about on my (oft-used) dashboard.
Remember that I post archaeology and heritage related information over at Past Thinking in [...]

This is just a quick test post to see if WordPressDash, a widget for OSX’s Dashboard, still works with WordPress 2.1.x
I should also be able to use tags from this widget, thanks to Ultimate Tag Warrior’s ability to find embedded tags within the post itself.
Well, if you’re reading this, and there are tags listed, it [...]
