I made a decision yesterday while travelling home – I’m going to make allowance in my will towards the ongoing existence of my digital identity. Now, don’t panic, I’m not ill and don’t intend on dying anytime soon. But it will happen. And it so happens that with recent changes in living arrangements I’ve beenContinueContinue reading “Preserving Digital Identity in my Will”

Miscellaneous small thoughts loosley blogged
Photo: Kamyar Adl Some thoughts of recent, spurred on by many things. I had been thinking about returning to more ‘stream of conscious’ blogging but hadn’t got there – so it’s about time I did. But this might not be one of them. It used to be people blogged heaps….then something, or some things happened.ContinueContinue reading “Miscellaneous small thoughts loosley blogged”

He picked up on a Tweet I left ; “dnwallace : tryin out Pointui on WM5 and liking it. Finally, ‘touch’ featuresContinueContinue reading “Lifekludger pointer”
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
That’s one of my chief guiding principals. If something does the job, go with it until it doesn’t.So, turns out there was something I wanted to do on this blog that my ole WordPress v1.5 install wouldn’t support, so I’ve just upgraded it to v2.It went fairly painless. I disabled plugins, copied the directory overContinueContinue reading “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”
Suffolk ‘n’ Cool Second Life T-shirts
So here’s how a net works. Mike emailed me about Peter Clitheroe (suffolkandcool.com) saying he’s a mate of Pete Cogle (pcpodcast.podsahow.com) and how he was heard on his podcast talking about having tshirts in Second Life and needing a hand with getting them out in-world. So, I left a comment on the suffolk ‘n’ coolContinueContinue reading “Suffolk ‘n’ Cool Second Life T-shirts”
Tagged.com is a pain
I got tagged by tagged.com and being the tag came from a trusted network passed it on. Seems after the fact just a froth and bubble ad site. So anyone who I tagged…..sorry. Please ignore and move on.. Lesson: No matter how your personal net-works, there’s no substitute for self-investigation. Dave

Spam spam go away
In last couple weeks this blogs been hit hard by comment spam. None of it got through my filters and blacklists etc but I’ve been getting about 100 a week. These are mostly trying to piggy-back onto posts that already have valid comments. New comments on posts that have no existing comments get trapped byContinueContinue reading “Spam spam go away”
It’s Broke!
Wonder why I’d been a bit quiet? I’ve been battling a sore shoulder since last Tuesday….finally got to get an x-ray today. It’s broken! Fractured! So will be a bit quiet until I figure out how to compute from bed effectively. Photos to follow……no scar, no proof! 🙂 Dave

a change of style
We were brainwashed Okay, I relent. I started out this blog thing not really knowing what I was doing and had formulated ‘styling rules’ in my head and tried to follow them for consistency. Such things as “tiny font”, “small pic in top right-corner”, “no caps, just punctuation”, “cryptic titles” were the unwritten rules runningContinueContinue reading “a change of style”
the dots are coming together
i’ve always viewed computers and technology as a tool. especially from the time i acquired my disability. before that point in time computers hadn’t crossed my path much and technology i didn’t much think of in any terms other than a tv and a (beta) vcr. but being from a mechanical background, tools i knew!ContinueContinue reading “the dots are coming together”
