I've got myself a domain surgut.co.uk and I was hoping I did move my feed correctly without spamming Ubuntu Planet... Well I did reimport the whole blog and kept all the timestamps but the RSS feed got screwed up so I did spam the planet afterall trials and testing. Sorry about the spam =(
I did move my blog from wordpress.com to blogger.com for many reasons. Both are hosted services (I can't afford my own hosting) and blogger has more features and is less evil. I do want to be able to edit full stylesheet and include ubuntu countdown banner without paying =) plus I already use my google account for pretty much everything else.
A couple of days ago I've watched a few really fun and interesting TED talks. While generally they are highly sophisticated and educational here are some of the humorous I've found:

A couple of days ago I've watched a few really fun and interesting TED talks. While generally they are highly sophisticated and educational here are some of the humorous I've found:
- Julia Sweeney "The Talk" - about kids & parenting
- Dan Meyer "Math class needs a makeover"
- Sebastian Wernicke "Lies, damned lies and statistics" - TED talk about TED talks
The videos are embedded after the break.
Can't afford hosting? UBUNTU TO THE RESCUE - Ubuntu Server. LAMP. I know, for a fact, that you can get a used computer for next to nothing in the UK. If you have internet access and a router, you are home and dry.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to figure out how a wordpress service is "less evil" than Google, who rank only slightly behind Facebook in trampling privacy.
ReplyDelete@Peter - except that in Hull KC has monopoly, 8mbps internet connection with T&C that I'm not allowed to make my equipment to be publically available on the internet.
ReplyDelete@Corey Burger - both wordpress.com (not wordpress.org!) and blogger.com are evil. But with bloger I can use my domain, edit full css and add ubuntu countdown banner for free. Whereas with wordpress.com no plugins are allowed so I can't do any of those things =(
