Today, I believe that the Christmas period has begun. That’s why I’ve changed our logo for this time of year. I’ll keep it up as long as my Christmas decorations are up.

So the new logo is hosted by BlogPulp, and is below:

Have a nice Christmas!

Once again, I shall give you a bullet point post.

• I ended up not needing to reformat (?), I simply needed to repair Windows. Everything is fine now apart from a few drivers.
• I’ve started using Yahoo! Answers. I found this on Sarah’s blog. It’s not as reliable as Experts-Exchange, but far more Web 2 and I can ask more questions!
• I was given a sneak-peek today of BlogMad, I can’t say too much apart from that they’ve got this cool thing called the action bar and it’s gonna rule!
• I got onto the Digg homepage again, this time for a Digg about 6500 Free TTF fonts! I didn’t quite receive 6500 diggs, but I think 1345 is respectable. 15 people blogged it as well!
• Yesterday, it was reported that Dell was going to be shipping Firefox with PCs in the UK. Dell nor Mozilla commented (via.). Also, M$ and Mozilla have agreed a common RSS icon between them (see).

I shall be aiming to do more posts, so stay tuned.

Hmm, I’ve decided not to post tonight. I’m getting nasty BSODs, and I presume that it must be a driver or application conflict.

I’m having to re-format, and I’m backing-up right now, so I expect it to take a few more hours, by which time I’ll be occupied. So, I’m not posting tonight. But wait! I am. I’m using Knoppix at the moment!

Some quality posts soon, hopefully.

What is Lockergnome? Well, a big, respected site PageRanking 8. But what exactly is it? A portal? What’s it’s history? What’s it’s purpose? I don’t know. Lockergnome has no about page. I class this as a downside. In the Wikipedia, it simply redirects to Chris Pirillo, the founder and maintainer of Lockergnome. I think it would be good if someone could find this out and edit the Wikipedia.

Chris claims to be world’s geekiest geek (see Meta description for blog). Chris Pirillo is an internet celebrity. As a former TechTV host, author (writing Poor Richard’s Email Publishing, Online! The Book (with John C. Dvorak), and Lockergnome’s Computer Tips Compendium) and a columnist for CPU Magazine and an online radio presenter (The Chris Pirillo Show). Chris also writes a blog.

Chris is friends with many influential people in the internet community including the recently controversial Adam Curry. If your still not certain of Chris Pirillo’s importance Google Chris.

It will be be interesting to see if the Chris Pirillo Effect works.

It seems this is the week for criticising the Wikipedia. c|net is now saying the Wikipedia is not open-source but a free-for-all. This is just because two people abused the system, and they were somewhat high profile and got a lot of press. This was when someone wrote an article linking someone to JFK’s assassination (see) and Adam Curry modifying the podcasting article to inflate his role in it’s creation (see).

Okay. The Wikipedia is open-source. It is under the GFDL, enough evidence for me. And why should two peoples mistakes be a punishment to everyone. The Wikipedia is managed lots, just look at AfD.

The Wikipedia is about freedom. It’s better than any other encyclopaedia, so give it a break. Thank you.
