All go

Software

To help me while away the hours I spend en transit I’ve finally used the podcast feature on my Nokia N95. I have started with the wonderful Limited Edition via Yellow Spandex, the podcast are ideally suited for my journey duration. Of course I discovered these via Rockjaws blog. The themes as you may have guessed is the world of heroes/villains, well infact its all things comic related.

A great podcast to obtain when you have the time.

I decide to grab Stephen Frys last night, but sadly when I visited the site it was down. As it turns out there was a good reason for this. Stephen Fry Version 2.0!

I must say that the new website is rather awesome, it also linked me to Stephens twitter which is the busiest  account I’ve seen, with pictures and map locations to help you track Mr Fry accross the global.

Migration

Site News

Well it all seems to have gone quite smoothly, even my make shift tags have migrated across without too much trouble.

Now comes the tweaking for the next week until I’m happy.

Micro-blogging

In an effort you remain active onlne I'd like to update this blog more, yet time is a rare commodity for me.
I'm left wondering if I should focus on micro-blogging during the week and at least get one post out over the weekend.

twitter.pngFor those of you that haven't used/seen anything related to micro-blogging it's effectively a method for postting updates ( limited to 140 characters ), you could liken it to Facebooks status feature.

If I decide to try this out fulltime rather than with infrequent updates I need to decide which of the two services that I've been using gets the full attention.

Twitter Vs Jaiku
I think the big thing to take into consideration is that microblogging so high in demand these services are frequently struck by outages of one kind or another. Infact Twitter got so bad eariler this year it felt like it couldn't recover the popularity afterwards.

jaiku.pngThere are good features on both but as this maybe subtituting for full blogging I feel that Jaiku (now owned by Google) maybe the way to go as I can link in other updates from all the areas of the internet that I'm active in

Once my Twitter feed is linked into Jaiku I think i'll use twiter for updates (far more support around for my phone etc) but link Jaiku as the place to catch up on goings on.

We shall see how it goes.
