A eulogy for IE6

I couldn’t decide if this was more suited to the sensible or the new fun side of slightlymore, but in the end have decided that it’s probably going to find more friends in the light relief section. We all love to hate IE6, it’s way past it’s death-by-date, but it’s unfortunately still lingering around like a particularly bad smell. Luckily, with the birth of IE8, the stench of 6 might soon pass, and Paul Boag has recorded an absolutely genius Eulogy for IE6 on audioboo – you’ll likey!

Audioboo – making ‘podcasting’ accessible to everyone

So I’ve just found the new service AudioBoo, which I think may well turn out to be the next twitter. It allows anyone (well, anyone with an iPhone, at the moment) to record 3 minute clips of audio to be hosted by AudioBoo. You can follow people, tag your Boos – or at least that’s what I think they’re called – set a location for each one and allow people to comment on them.

Me on the intertubes

It wouldn't be right to have a web site, be a nerd, and not take this opportunity for a bit of shameless pluggery.

If you like all these weird and magic internet page things, you should try Coaster Nerd, Oxford Bloggers or, if you'd really like some unexplainable sourcery, is it the weekend yet.

Also you should follow me on Twitter ;)

Where to find me

I can be found fairly regularly at Oxford Geek Nights, OxTuttle and other general nerding out activities in and around Oxford.

I am also often found in my natural habitat which is anywhere that you can find an adreneline machine. I frequent English theme parks more often than is healthy, and take trips abroad to sample foreign rides.

From the aviary

Was having a decidedly crap day of development. Just got much better. It's nice when things go your way. #win 1 day ago

You see, when I write, I just write. I don't do that thing which they always told you to do at school and plan what you want to write first. Because of this, there will almost certainly be a load of typos, grammar errors and incorrect facts and references.

What's this site?

Slightlymore started off all too formally for my liking. In the depths of the archives, you'll find tutorials. However if you read the more recent posts, you'll find them a lot more playful and about fun and interesting stuff.

Annoyingly difficult to use tag cloud
