Some Friday Honey
Posted by: Owen on Friday, 4th Apr, 2008
And it’s finally Friday afternoon, time to go home! But before I go, here are some great posts to read over the weekend. There’s nothing like a juicy honeypot to keep you distracted:
How to Show that you are Serious about Blogging - brilliant post that all bloggers should read.

Some more honey
Posted by: Owen on Sunday, 16th Mar, 2008
The blogosphere tends to be a bit quieter over the weekend, so I thought I’d seed some interesting things I came across, mixed with some people who have mentioned this blog this week and some other random stuff
Trust Economies - Investigation into the new ROI of the Web: Discussion into the rise of relationship marketing [...]
Looking for a watch
Posted by: Owen on Monday, 18th Feb, 2008
It’s been a couple of months since I got my MP4 watch. It works nicely and has some great features, but it just doesn’t cut it as a watch. I may burn in hell for this, but I think I’m pining for a real watch, one that doesn’t have 2Gb of memory, one that doesn’t [...]
Gadget Mecca
Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 12th Feb, 2008
Have you noticed that I’m starting to blog more and more about gadgets? I was just scrolling down the page and it hit me seeing the number of devices on the page. It’s just that there are so many gadgets out there nowadays, I couldn’t resist. I almost ended up getting myself an iPod mini [...]
Time for a HoneyPost
Posted by: Owen on Monday, 11th Feb, 2008
For those who are new to this blog, I sometimes put together a Honeypost which is a collection of links designed to distract the best of us from the things we’re supposed to be doing. It’s a greymatter honeypot dripping with juicy gooey honey. So here goes:

Some linky goodness
Posted by: Owen on Sunday, 18th Nov, 2007
I haven’t put together a Honeypost for quite some time, and seeing I have a few minutes to spare this morning, I thought what better way to offer some information overload that to put together a great collection of places to visit:
Bloxorz: If you have nothing to do this weekend (Addiction alert)

Shoot other people for money
Posted by: Owen on Saturday, 1st Sep, 2007
Here’s an interesting twist on a theme. Ever since the heady days that Wolfenstein 3D graced our screens, First Person Shooters (FPSs) have gone from strength to strength; taking the genre to new heights. Today I read about an interesting development that may take it down an interesting avenue, adding renumeration to the game.
Kwari is [...]

It’s been a crazy week at work so far, so I haven’t really had the time to post anything decent to the blog today (SHOCK! HORROR!), so here’s some linky goodness to keep you all busy. Looking for something interesting to read? Here’s a honeypost for you.

Let the News Makers comment!
Posted by: Owen on Wednesday, 8th Aug, 2007
Interesting story doing the rounds today about how Google News lets relevant people add comments to it’s news articles. The keyword here is “relevant”, in that they don’t let the unwashed masses comment, but instead people or organisations connected to the story can add their comments by sending an email to Google. The emails are [...]
Microsoft New Technologies
Posted by: Owen on Saturday, 28th Jul, 2007
I popped by Andy James’ blog today (it has been ages since I’ve been there) and picked up some good links to some new stuff hitting the street (Andy is good like that). Here’s some honey:

Read up about Forex trading
Posted by: Owen on Monday, 19th Mar, 2007
I was originally exposed to Forex trading when I was developing software for Trust Fund companies around 8-9 years ago. My business acumen was a bit more limited back then, so I was really coding to spec without really know what a Swap was, why people went Long or Short or why anyone would ever [...]
Dealing with grief
Posted by: Owen on Friday, 23rd Feb, 2007
I came across an interesting article today that talks about how people deal with grief. You’ve undoubtedly come across the “5 stages of grief” model. Well, according to this article, most people do not adhere to the model. I suppose we’re not as predictable as some people would like.
I picked up the article of a [...]
Back from Joanne’s Wedding
Posted by: Owen on Monday, 19th Feb, 2007
We had a wedding last week and had to go back to the UK for it. It was great to catch up with old friends and see Joanne all dressed up in her wedding dress. She had two bridesmaids with her and they were just lovely.
Speaking about bridesmaids, I found an online store for kids [...]
Social Bookmark Meta-Search
Posted by: Owen on Saturday, 17th Feb, 2007
I came across a search engine today that is focused on searching the Social Bookmark sites (like Digg, Reddit and a bunch of others). There’s 53 websites in the search and the results are provided thanks to Google Co-op. You can also get a FireFox search engine to add directly to your browser. Check it [...]
