Ok just to see what it brings, I joined the digg movement where you can share what info on the web you like, and see what others like.

Now to let Digg's pass through to Twitter, you can subscribe to Twiggit, and tell them your Digg username and let them login to your Twigger acount to autopost your diggs!

So when you Digg Twitter, Twiggit will Tweet!

If you like, Twitter me...

I've made a Twitter account, with Twitter you can follow some1 and people can follow you.. its a bit like the statusbar in facebook or the WWW in hyves, but then WAY MORE dynamic.
You can follow or post through the web or like I have one of the many widgets (Twitterrific), or apps you can install on your desktop or iPhone to Twitter your daily needs and shares.

The main reason for me was to follow some of the podcast creators ive been listening to and be able to direct connect to them if necessary.. but its fun sharing daily points, plus it gives you the chance to get an answer quickly about matters you are working on, also focusing on some outstanding designers that I would like to follow..

Anyway twitter what you want!

Interesting:

Nice, very well done.. here's some great potential...



Watch Euro Cup 2008 live online via:
freelivevoetbal.nl

Good list of different types of programs to use and languages/channels to choose from per game.
Also choose the application to view it with. I was already using SobCast and TVU player, but there are couple more to choose from.

YesTV SobCast
stream did the NED1 broadcast for the already legendary NETHERLANDS vs ITALY game, so I could enjoy the game complete with dutch commentary (Frank Snoeks - Tom Egberts - Johan Cruijff etc) and vibe! :) what a cracker of a game!!

MacOs X can READ and WRITE on FAT32 partitions, but FAT 32 has a limit to 4GB files, and I have a few of those. OSX is able to READ NTFS but can't default write. Ive seen a couple of solutions, but think i'm going to give this one a go:

My friend Vicky told me this great feature of my SE w800i phone, and im sure many other phones have the same feature, but I really really like it!

When you use your phone alarm to wake up or anything else you need it for, my phone doesnt need to be on for it to start ringing in the morning. No worries about ur battery, just set alarm and turn your phone off.
Try if yours has it.. very helpfull little feature to make life tiny bit better :)

Yay, lets start the new year with death, the one from the "good riddance" kind! Sony BMG plans to drop DRM, to be the last major company that was still holding on to the technology to protect.. yeah.. to protect what!?..lol prolly to protect the high profit margin, thats all it was doing.. pff killing every other opportunity for the artist I still believe. Finally they understand, "The customer is always right!"

FYI

My blog search tag got mutated after using the blog html in Adobe Go Live for editing, now I know y finally:
nabble.com/How-to-avoid:-%3Cagl:translated

So or apply fix or dont use layout preview while editing..
