New Tech

Procrastination is a wonderful thing. It has led me to discover all sorts of things, each of which leads to more possible procrastinative efforts.

At the beginning of the Easter holiday it was all sparked by my discovering I could get Firefox 3. I was investigating this development where somewhere along the line I heard about Flock – I had also seen it advertised on Facebook. Looking around Flock I read their news that they had won an award at the SXSW conference. Obviously this lead to reading about all kinds of goings-on at this geeky sounding event.

Nevertheless I started using Flock, much to my satisfaction. I like being able to log into the tools I use day to day and being able to monitor them constantly. But what is this I see in the side bar? Twitter? More investigation (and quite a few stories from the SXSW conference) that sounds pretty funky too so now I’m signed into that as well!

And of course other than a new browser and notification service, I decided to set up a blog! I chose Wordpress simply because I’ve used it to manage the Loughborough Students Ultimate site previously though since then there has obviously been lots of improvements and I like it!

So I’ve had a great time geeking it up and ignoring things like coursework and selecting final year projects but trying to think about all the possibilities open to me now.
