YouTube - Tony vs Paul

Just watched this awesome video on YouTube. It’s a stop motion of two guys sorting their problems out mano e mano.

Me and my bro tried this once when I first got a webcam, nothing like this though! If I find mine, I will post them on YouTube as well

RSS

I have been messing around with feedburner. It seems to offer a really good service for free, with some premium options if you choose to enable them. I have cut my feed over to it, as I get stats of who/when is subscribed. They also allow for funky embeded items (like the Digg and Email this links you see on each post).

Have you ever clicked on an XML/RSS feed in your browser and seen only xml code come up? They cater for that as well. If someone clicks on your syndication link via the (now standard) feed icon, just like this RSS Feed Icon, AND they have no RSS viewer installed, nor a RSS capable browser, then they get a nice page explaining what syndication is, and how to subscribe. Good for my mum, and the less technical people in the world (hi mum!).

So using feedburner has been a good experience after all. All that there is left to do is redirect existing subscribers in apache to the new feed.

New Years developments

I wonder…. what will the new year bring?
Well besides tomorrow being the same as every other day, will I finish reading all those books I started? Will I finish learning postgreSQL, php, css, xhtml, xml, shell scripting, do my w2k3 exams, finish reading my science book, my coding book, my DB book, my novel, reading the bible?

Will I do more geocaching, spend more time with kids, do more exercise, lose weight, be a better husband/father/brother/son, find my inner self, understand the universe, etc.?

Why will it be any different?
One thing I can say is: I finally finished my www/DB server and got my blog online!

Maybe there is hope for me yet.
