Its International Talk Like a Pirate Day tomorrow (September 19th) so to celebrate here’s a quick bookmarklet I put together.

Built on top of the awesome Talk like a Pirate translation ARRPI.

Drag the following link to your bookmarks and enjoy: TweetARRR!

Today i had the joy of presenting a run down of the exciting new features in HTML5 to the entire team.

Here are the slides in a PDF html5-primer.pdf.

“People cards” is a little side project I’m working on at the moment. Essentially they’re MOO mini cards with the URL’s of your social networking profiles printed on them.

The idea being that you can give them people you meet while you’re out and about, at meetups, conferences etc.

I’m using the Twitter API (using OAuth) and Google’s Social Graph API to fetch related profiles on sites that support FOAF and XFN.

Once I’ve gathered all the user data i need i make a request to the MOO API and then push the user onto the MOO customiser and checkout.

Just need to add a design then i can put this baby live.

The first post on my new journal, yay!

Ever since i lost relative precision through neglect to squatters i’ve been trying to get back on the horse and start a new site. Well after nearly two years and a couple of false starts, I’m finally here. Maybe this time i’ll actually have something worthwhile to prattle on about, but i guess we’ll see.

So what will I be writing about? Well to be honest I’m not entirely sure. I’m sure a fair proportion of posts will be related to my web development work. Other than that there will be personal posts and ramblings interspersed with the triumphs and failings of my arduino tinkering and amateur photography.

Until the first post proper I’m going to be looking into some kind of twitter comment engine for wordpress.

Anyway, hopefully you’ll find something interesting about this site from here on in.
