Now, today I’m having a very slow day. So slow in fact that I’ve been looking at Google Lively, which looks like it has no actual use apart from passing the time. I was invited into it yesterday by James (killing time) and we successfully killed quite a lot of time.

Google Lively is basically 3D Chatrooms, in which you can add your own stuff and design your own rooms. After 10 minutes I’m very bored of it. Could be for people with short attention-spans.

In summary, not as much fun as the search engine.

Could be right - Better than facts

As someone that works daily with WiFi, and with no adverse effects I find this shocking. But there you go, horses for courses. Doesn’t work for everyone despite scientific testing.

Update

Just read a few comments, some of which are also alarmist, some of which make sense. You decide…

“Teachers working in wireless zones have reported nausea, headaches and memory loss” - Maybe they should drink less the previous day?

Jing

Been looking for a handy app recently for taking screenshots for putting into documentation that I have to do for work, rather than the printerscreen, paint, paste, cut area, new picture, paste, save… tedium that it normally takes.

Turns out there’s been a freeware app out called Jing which does this, and saves screencaptures to flash also for screencasting if required. This is brilliant.

Makes no business sense at all. “Where’s the profit margin in that?”, one of my friends would say.

Thanks to Lifehacker for this brilliant app, which they found out over a year ago, so you should always look at Lifehacker probably.

Just read somewhere that Gmail now has an option to always access gmail via https rather than http. Oddly enough I was after that the other day, and now they’ve done, so its entirely possible they read my mind. It’s a good thing because it keeps your email more secure. It will potentially make mobile GMail stop working, but worth a check anyway.

HTTPS, look. see.
