Just a quick note to let folks know that I’ve finally taken the time to rewrite TweetDumpr. It now actually works again, plus it’s quite a bit faster as well. The two limitations are that it will only be able to get the latest 3200 tweets from your timeline, and it will only work for [...]

The economy is tough on everyone at the moment. No one goes completely unaffected, and many people are left with lower, if not non-existent, income and in most cases lots of unwanted possessions. Despite this, basic human wants don’t go away – people still want new books, new skis, new clothes, but selling items can [...]

It started as an idea from Robert Scoble. I then made it an open wiki. And today, the first ever cartoon based on ObsoleteSkills.com has been published in the Tampa Tribune. I wish a little that it was a funny cartoon, instead of one that is supposed to make you think, but either way I’m [...]

Just a quick note to let folks know that I have just licensed contributions from ObsoleteSkills.com to be turned into a weekly cartoon series by cartoonist Greg Williams of the Tampa Tribune. The series will take skills added to the site for the inspiration of each cartoon, similar to Greg’s previous work on a comic [...]

Yes, I’ve been at it again and developed another Twitter bot. What makes this one special, however, is the fact that it is my first interactive bot. So, I would like to introduce you all to @weatherbot – the interactive on-demand Twitter weather service. While it is still very beta, I think it is at [...]

There have been way too many Twitter-related posts here lately, so I promise that this will be the last one for a while. In a similar vein to my triviabot, I have made a new Twitter bot called bushbot that, as the name implies, automatically posts random quotes  from George W. Bush, President of the [...]

After a suggestion from @abacab, I have created a little Twitter trivia bot. This bot posts a random fact from RandomFacts.org to its Twitter account every hour. There are some really interesting things coming through on it, so if you like trivia, give @triviabot a follow. I will be adding more features soon, such as [...]

I have created a Google Code page to house the source for Twitter Stats. Both the web version and the command line CSV-output version are available through a straight download or SVN. While the other contributors and I don’t have a problem with derivative works (the code is released under the GPLv2 license), we would [...]

Just a quick update to let people know that Startup Weekend Sydney is happening, and I’m currently looking at planning it for late February. A location is currently being finalized, and I should have some news on that shortly. Pre-register here to get announcements as they happen, and feel free to help me spread the [...]

Just a quick update to let people know I’m still alive. I have been flat out these last few weeks, so was unable to update my blog. I do have a few posts I will be finishing up though, and I have a new design for the site that I want to launch soon. With [...]
