Feeds 4 Phones released

It gives me great pleasure to be able to finally release Feeds 4 Phones, New Chemical History's RSS aggregator that allows users to create and maintain their own list of RSS favorites and then view them on their phones. I originally built the application for myself so I could read my favorite RSS feeds on the move using my phone and then decided others could benefit.

Feeds 4 Phones allows a registered user to create a list of their favorite RSS feeds. The user can then access their list while on the move, using any phone that has an XHTML browser. Feeds 4 Phones will also work for users using standard browsing.

I would like to thank those who helped beta test and gave valuable feedback - Niall Guerin, Andrew Madigan, Kevin O'Connell, David Manzor and Eamon Maguidhir.

Asimo runs

Probably the coolest thing I've seen in a long time is the robot Asimo running. Granted its only at 3km per hour but its still a sight to behold. Just achieving the balancing alone is staggering feat, amazing stuff

If you check out the latest Asimo videos at Honda, released the other day you can see how far they've come with this. Especially mad to watch is the intellegence of the robot, there is a video where a person shakes hands with it then pulls the robot and it follows its freaky actually. Anyway if you havent seem them yet check out the vidoes here.

Self Stock from Madrid

It's wierd I was adding a link for this site the other day, a beautifully designed and coded photography site self stock from Madrid, which now is a city trying to come to terms with a massacre on a scale not seen in Europe since Lockerbey, how depressing in the year 2004 the species of homo sapiens are still intent on murdering each other in the name of what?

The sheer beauty of Orsinal

Can't remember if I've ever posted about Orsinal before, I'm sure I must have at some stage or other. I think Orsinal has some of the most beautiful content on the internet today. It's been going for a long time and not having been there for a while I checked it out today. As always I wasnt dissapointed, played a game that has such amazing art in it I was compelled to tell you all. Move the ballon with your windmill and collect the flowers, the end is great too. You can play the game here.

Web accessibility toolbar gets updated

Heads up folks the excellent web accessibility toolbar from the good people over at National Information and Library Service has been updated. I've been meaning to post on this for ages but kept forgetting. I highly recommend downloading it if you are any way serious about ensuring your develpment work is accessible.

Most noteworthy addition in this release is the page zoom feature. This is a great feature that zooms up the whole page and not just text. Users of large text features in browsers should check out the toolbar for browsing benefits.

Anyway enough already you can download the tool bar here.

Give up that seat - Visual Google

Very annoyed with the Irish public at the moment. My wife is over 6 months pregnant and is taking the bus to work in the mornings. No one will give up their seat for her, instead people just stare at her. When she told me I was really shocked but apparently this is the norm now in Dublin. I guess it's just symtematic of Ireland right now, it's sad.

Followed this link from the k10k, this is a pretty amazing java app that gives you a visual graphing of a site's relevance on google. Really interesting for anyone wanting a picture of your site in googles eyes. Very impressive and hard to get out of once you go in, you can further expand each node ,on and on, mad, check it out here.

Last ever issue of 28mm

It is with real sadness that I read on the 28mm site that the current issue is also going to be the last. The site is one of my favourites and each issue has always kept the amazing quality. If you've never seen the site or havent been for a while check out the last issueƖ
