Google release Google Moderator
You just gotta love Google. Just a few days after releasing Chrome, the browser that I'm no doubt going to be using more and more often as it develops, they go and release Google Moderator.
Google Moderator is a tool that Google use in-house that they've decided to release and let people use for free. What does it do? Well basically it allows you to set subjects and for users to ask questions. The questions can then be voted on by everyone so the more popular the question the higher it gets on the list.
Elgiganten saga comes to an end
I've had a few issues with my Panasonic TV, purchased from Swedish chain Elgiganten. Basically it's something called purple snake which pretty much spoils your viewing when watching some channels and some DVD's.
Joomla! gets a face lift and you know what, it looks quite okay
The Joomla! website has had a face lift. The new look is very clean and dare I say it Web 2.0ish.
It's basically using the frontpage as a portal for the huge Joomla website and I suspect it's geared more towards 'new visitors'. It looks very appealing - it would just be nice if they updated it all at the same time, however I expect that is coming and it's really the content that matters.

Forking off from Mambo: MiaCMS
If the poor old chaps at the Mambo Foundation hadn't had it bad enough the past couple of years, it's just getting worse for them, with the news that more people are jumping ship.
I say it's getting worse because everyone seems to be leaving. This time it's Al Warren, Chad Auld, Ozgur Cem Sen and Richard Ong. They've left to start up the MiaCMS, by taking the Mambo code.
World Cup final weekend: South Africa in for a shock?
I've had a few emails this week. Most have been reminding me of the opening match of the Rugby World Cup and most have been from South Africans.
While I didn't really fancy England to do well in this tournament they've certainly turned it around and must really fancy their chances after beating France last weekend.

Google recognise St George's Day
Last year, Google ignored St George's Day and it wound me up a bit, mostly because the excuse was 'there are so many individual days' and that they couldn't recognise every one.
Glad I'm not in South Africa this weekend
They love their Rugby in South Africa. Thinking about it, maybe love isn't a strong enough word; they are madly passionate about it and yesterday those passions would have been boiling over.
Bars would have been packed, they'd be a braai on every street and the celebrations would have been much fun and gone late into the night.
Kubb prize comes back to Bygdsiljum
Team Axelsson were the surprise winners of this years Kubb tournament after beating team Uusijärvi in the final and team Ruth in the semis.
Team Burman went out early to team Uusijärvi. After taking a very early lead they failed to capitalise on team Uusijärvi failing to wake up until the seventh round.
