Blogging is so 2004

LOL at this Wired article! Thinking about launching your own blog? Here’s some friendly advice: Don’t. And if you’ve already got one, pull the plug. I agree with the author. Blogging is so 2004. For the record: I installed WordPress on this server in September 2004. Time to pull the plug. Follow me on Twitter,… Continue reading Blogging is so 2004

From Riehen to Grenzach Wyhlen

Here are the snapshots of the second architecture tour that I took part in: We cycled from Tinguely Museum in Basel and stopped at various points in Riehen and Grenzach Wyhlen. Heard about Hans Bernoulli and his Garden City idea to provide improved housing for the working class as well as a patch of ground… Continue reading From Riehen to Grenzach Wyhlen

Tagaroo and other links

Pêle-mêle off the top my head: In my daily reads, I stumbled across a WordPress plugin called Tagaroo. It reminded me of Zemanta. I haven’t tried it out. But I guess the interesting part is that it is being sponsored/developed by media giant Thomson Reuters as part of the Calais project. As usual I’ve been… Continue reading Tagaroo and other links

Twitter, SMS and Africa

This recent Twitter announcement is disappointing on a personal level, but also on a more global level as White African discusses: Twitter represents a change in communication. By acting as a global gateway for updates via SMS (or the web), that then updates all of your followers, Twitter succeeded in breaking ground in one-to-many messaging.… Continue reading Twitter, SMS and Africa

Puzzled

This t-shirt text puzzled me this morning… ZIM TST ERN I figured it out after a while but at first I kept associating ZIM with Zimbabwe. I’ve uploaded two batches of snapshots to my Flickr stream. I’m a snapshotter at heart and I’m not spending much time correcting or editing my work (yet). Unhindered by… Continue reading Puzzled

Working for one week in SF

I’ve uploaded my wild snapshots of San Francisco covering smoothies, books, bikers, shopping, browsing magazines, coffee, cars, Ocean Beach, the hotel, buildings, streets, public transport, signs, Lufthansa and waiting. Flickr slideshow BTW, I didn’t see a single Clinton 08 poster, I did see several Obama 08 posters and a guy selling Obama buttons. I guess,… Continue reading Working for one week in SF

The Nutella Alternatives Group at Flickr

Yay, the Nutella Alternatives group is growing (world dominion imminent…). Recent additions include: The question Why spend so many hours and bytes on Nutella and derivatives? It’s a web differentiator! And when people wander thru the shopping aisles with their phone cams they need a purpose. The Flickr group lists all the details: http://www.flickr.com/groups/nutellaalternative/ Childhood… Continue reading The Nutella Alternatives Group at Flickr

Weekend Thoughts

I just installed GIMPshop on my (no longer new) MacBook. And the interface looks a lot simpler. And I received a Skitch invite. I don’t like the pink heart icon much. Kitsch. But I somehow managed to get past that and watch the introductory video (!). The features look very useful. It offers a direct… Continue reading Weekend Thoughts

Flickriver

Scrolling Ad Infinitum: I discovered a new Flickr tool called Flickriver… It loads all images into one long html page, i.e. you simply scroll down to view all pictures for a tag or group: My contacts My faves Malawi group Canon ImageBrowser to FlickrUploadr: BTW, I’ve found a shortcut how to add photos from Canon… Continue reading Flickriver

Ipernity Q and A

Via Flickr mail I asked somebody who seems to be on the Ipernity payroll: Thanks for leaving a comment in my photostream. I was wondering if you could answer my question regarding Ipernity’s funding. Who are the investors? Is it independent? Is it funded by venture capital? Or does it belong to another company? See… Continue reading Ipernity Q and A

The most interesting pictures

The most interesting pictures by nchenga Cos I don’t have a Pro account at Flickr, the above link only finds the most interesting based on my last 200 snapshots. BTW, it seems there’s a viable alternative at Ipernity. At least it loads a lot faster than Zooomr, it offers a tidy layout, and the texts… Continue reading The most interesting pictures

nchenga’s Web 2.0 roundup: Links and comments

How many online services did you sign up for, use once or twice, and then never return again? In my case, that would be lots of ’em. Some of them are really popular services like Digg or Mister Wong, where I just haven’t found a personal use case, or I’ve got a substitute or workaround.… Continue reading nchenga’s Web 2.0 roundup: Links and comments
