internet audiofest...
In some ways I'm glad the cricket finished yesterday - today's my only day off for a couple of days, and I wouldn't want to have been glued to the TV watching the climax of the Fourth Ashes Test - it was hard enough concentrating on work before the edge-of-my-nails conclusion!
Beth told me yesterday that the Dutch Big Brother has just started, with one of the contestants due to give birth in six weeks... how the housemates will cope with being stuck in an open-plan house with a newborn for up to five weeks is anyone's guess!
In other news, I'm starting to get into Podcasting (or more often than not Blogcasting - audio blogs), having stumbled across blugg.com, the entertaining ramblings - is that a bit harsh? - of two, erm, space aliens in London. I could realistically spend all day listening to podcasts (there are loads at podcastdirectory.com, podcastalley.com and podcast.net) but they'd be vying for my time with all the BBC Listen Again offerings!
Finally, being a bank holiday, Radio 1 are playing their fantastic Ten Hour Takeover which, although not as freeform as I'd like, is still a fantastic listen.
Links of the day:
- www.konfabulator.com : Ever wanted some silly little desktop toys (such as a mini system usage display, comedy sound player or even a hexadecimal clock)? Maybe not...! Anyhow, there are lots and lots of toys in the Widget Gallery
- www.gizmoproject.com : Gizmo... it's said to be the next big thing in interweb communication - some claim that it's better than Skype (it's certainly more versatile, since it can make free phone calls to other VoIP services). I'm hoping it's compaible with my sipgate number - free calls to my iPaq yay!
