Meetro is an instant messenger client that lets you find people geographically local to you.
The Meetro crew has finally managed to push a public Mac OS X version out the door and it’s available for download on the Meetro website. Now even Mac-o-philes can find new and exciting ways to (get laid by) become friends with their neighbors via the Internet.
This looks cool.
For me, the most interesting bit is probably going to be the reporting.. being able to do cool stuff with stats and not having to rely on the rather limited stats on the Adsense web site will be really useful.
Expect to see lots of third party stats software very soon. 🙂
My current pet project, Fotonomy, is now open for anyone to join. Yay.
It’s taken a while to get to this stage, primarily because of other work related distractions, but the site is really coming together now.
If you’re at all interested in photography, have a look around the site and maybe sign up and join in the fun!
On May 13 2004, I sent an email to Google suggesting they add a WeatherPixie to their brand new official GoogleBlog. Today, 2 years later, I received a reply:

Hi Dom,
Thank you for your kind words and suggestion. We're considering a few improvements for
the Google Blogger based on our user feedback. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback.
Regards,
The Google Team
That’s 2 years and 14 days to be precise. I think this may well qualify them for the slowest search engine in history award. Congratulations, Google.
Now, judging by the From address on the email, they’re using old support mails to train new staff, but it begs the question – why the hell are they letting them send responses!?
And what’s this about “The Google Blogger”?
Answers on a postcard. Or if you’re Google, just mail me and I’ll read it when I get it… sometime in 2008.
I love this – give your Macbook (Pro) a slap to switch between virtual desktops, or even between OSX and XP. I’m tempted now even more tempted to get one, just so I can give it a slap. 🙂
Just watch the video…
Google is adding video ads to its Adsense programme.
Is this a good idea? I think so. I’ll certainly give it a try.
People are so used to text ads now that they’re blind to them in the same way they became blind to banner ads years ago. Anything that engages the user is fine by me – provided the ads remain relavent of course!
This is an interesting article on what you need to know if you’re considering buying a new Macbook.
If I had money, I’d be tempted by one of these, but there are a few things that would worry me.
The size – I like my 12 inch powerbook, but the Macbook only comes in 13 inch. Will Apple release a smaller notebook to the lineup?
The keyboard. I’ve not tried it myself, but it *looks* icky to me. Reminds me of a Spectrum… eep!
Shared video memory – not great for games/graphics. Not that I’m much of a gamer, but it’d be nice to know I could..
The heat problem. These things seem to run really hot, but Apple won’t admit to any problem with them or the Macbook Pro.
Given that I have no income, I think I’ll wait at least until the next generation of Macbooks – which knowing Apple, will be sometime next month…

This really annoys me. Primarily because it rarely works for me. Grrr. 🙂
Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes.
When it comes to love, you shut yourself off. It’s difficult to win your heart because you have decided to keep your feelings deep inside. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.
You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don’t see you as a flirt. You don’t think much about yourself.
Sigh. One out of ten. Must try harder.
