Tag the season… in bulk!

This is something I’ve wanted to be able to do for a while in Delicious. Now I can finally update the tags on all those bookmarks I imported from Firefox.

New MacBooks Are Cranky: They Have Insomnia and Hate Third-Party RAM

The standard “journalism” rule is that three is trend. So here’s one with the new MacBooks: They’ve got problems! Screwy video cards, insomniatic, power-sucking sleep and not playing well with other RAM.

And there was me planning to swing by the Apple shop sometime soon and pick one of these up. Might leave it a month or so now…

Just came across this on Digg. Kind of reminds me of how mine started…

54 Mind-blowing Digital Paintings

Absolutely amazing! Wish I’d put more effort in during art lessons…

I particularly like that Artgerm dude. Some of his are awesome.

My Wacken 2009 tickets finally arrived yesterday morning after ordering them a couple months back. They look awesome! Got to hand it to the Germans man, they can definately organise a festival. Can’t wait. Went last year for the first time and it was one of the best festivals I’ve ever been to. 4 days of heavy metal! Hopefully this year will live up to last’s standards.

Plus, Cathedral are playing. Not been in to them for very long, but looking forward to headbanging away to some of their groovy doom riffs! Bring it on!

Spice up your inbox with colors and themes

Read about this yesterday on the Gmail blog, but couldn’t check it out until this morning when I got in work. Pretty cool stuff man. Probably end up sticking with the default theme in the end though…

Also, another cool feature, according to Gmail’s help centre:

In some cases, you can also customize by location. Some themes change during the day, and we use the location information you provide to correctly time these changes with your local sunrise, sunset, and/or weather.

As well as the new themes, looks like they’ve made a few subtle changes to Gmail interface in general – few colour changes and what-not. Looks a lot cleaner.

Thought it was about time I finally did something with this site instead of waiting for myself to get my arse in gear and finish designing something. Hell, everybody else seems to be blogging like crazy these days, so I might as well jump on the old bandwagon.

Just need to get a theme for this bad-boy sorted now.

Stay tuned. Or “watch this space” if you prefer…

P.S. In the meantime you could always check out a few mate’s and co-worker’s sites (to the right) while you wait. Can’t hurt.
