Jonza doesn’t like the top 50 albums of 2006. I hardly know any of them.

Zubka is user-generated head hunting. An interesting prospect.
Guy has some thoughts on good, charitable giving.
Lots of good stuff from a DTI-sponsored futures initiative. Sigma scan and Delta scan - they’re very similar, but the delta is more focused on technology. They only mention the singularity once, for what that’s worth.
Scott Adams on discrimination. Exam question: why is it legal to discriminate against stupid people? Precis: how would they form a pressure group?
Firebug looks like a very neat web design helper.
I had the “blank page unless you reload” error on my Wordpress site after an upgrade to PHP5. Tried most of the solutions here and one of them seems to have worked.
Eaccelerator is one for my server in the future, I think.
Nice collection of food writings from Andy Hayler, who I don’t remember reading, but probably have done. Probably not quite the same taste in food or restaurants to ours, but well worth looking through.
Some useful tips. Haven’t tried it yet, but it looks very sensible. Lots of good stuff at GotRoot as well.
Apparently your pupils dilate each time you try to remember something and contract as you report them back. Just brilliant.
Nice ways of getting square pie charts. We’ll have to start using them.
A useful solution to the “how do I make a brand new PC safe” when you have to connect unprotected to the internet to get the updates you need.
Vaguely interesting idea allowing you to share slideshows. However, it’s being described as YouTube for slides, so that must be the kiss of death…
The government is going to mandate sharing in a health bill. In separate news, Hampshire is going to be the first SOA in government.
So Thorium might be an option for future energy given that Hydrogen isn’t.
Barclaycard has stitched up an exclusive deal with Oyster to provide a joint Oyster and credit card. Now that’s something I really want, but won’t be able to have one unless I get a Barclaycard, which I have no reason too. Surely that’s anticompetitive?
I had a problem working out how to edit sharepoint documents. When you click on them in the library they open in the host application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in read-only mode. This isn’t helpful if you want to edit. So you actually have to click on “Edit in Microsoft Excel” or whatever in the drop down list.
Councils should use the phone to point to the web and apparently shared services are OK for government.
