As always, these things come in threes, so to complement turning 30 and moving into the new house, I’m also moving jobs… and professional fields too!!! And I couldn’t be more excited about it if I tried. I’m going to be working as the Online Community Editor at The Age which is not just a …

The 10,000th edublog!
So, sometime just before my very busy weekend the 10,000th edublogs was created! Interestingly enough it’s been called 1984 (nothing untoward there I hope) and I’d be delighted if you could join me in welcoming it to the edublogosphere! Hurroo! But at what time you ask… well, it was created at 7.20 AM on 19th …
Quite a weekend…
One that begun on Friday with Optus closing out net connection early, included at least 8 round trips to the new pad, ‘ended’ with Optus setting up new cable yesterday evening (two teams, people up ladders / overhead lines / on roofs!) and now there’s only 500 odd emails to go :) So please forgive …
4 AM Football
I’m going to have to get used to these 4AM starts over the next month… currently H/T in Arsenal vs. Barca with the gunners one goal up and one man down. Come. On. 52 Mins: Ridiculously tense… Henry just picked up an entirely unwarranted yellow. 56 mins: Ronaldinho not smiling much at the mo… I …

It’s a big week at the edublogs.org mansion as we’re currently at 9,854 edublogs… Here’s a mini technorati competition, heh, if you can predict the closest time and date – GMT +11 – that the 10,000th edublogs.org blog is created then I’ll buy you a free domain, and chuck in some hosting too… all you …

Snarky, moi?
Obviously edublogs.org is waaaay below the standard of something like The Webbys but at the same time there are plenty of sites and tools which, from an educational perspective, are certainly not (for example, elgg springs to mind)… and it seems a great shame that a peak awards body like The Webbys- and lets face …
An Almighty Bloglines Server Stuff Up
Am feeling like seriously eating my words about centralised RSS aggregation systems as Bloglines has just decided not to accept feeds from any site hosted on my servers… seriously, doesn’t matter whether you’re on WPMU or WP or the URL… it just isn’t updating anything at all!!! Have no idea why either, no updates or …
Keep your OPML
I have a web 2.0 sin to admit to, I just don’t get OPML. Sure, there are cool things you can do with it – importing / exporting reading lists and the other capacities Steve Rubel mentions including seeing who subscribes to what on a group level. Heck, back in March 2004 I spent a …
