So, today’s big announcement was supposed to come from Twitter.

Instead the announcement of @Anywhere on their blog here is almost as confusing as the Internet conundrum of just how do you use Google Wave ?

My best guess is that @Anywhere will allow a site to embed a link around a word that will link to someone on Twitter or, perhaps, a Tweet.

There are websites that already do this sort of think with what is supposed to be context sensitive links around words. I’m sure you have seen them. But how often do you click on the link ?

I was hoping for more from Twitter – this, for me, doesn’t add anything to the experience.

Walk down the Thames, lunch, a stroll around Borough Market and the river taxi home.

Perfect.

Wordpress have announced that they have turned on support for PubSubHubbub an open, server-to-server web-hook-based publish and subscribe protocol.

So, what does this mean ? Well if your blog is run using Wordpress your content can be pushed out content rather than waiting for services to come and check for new updates.

I’ve turned this on – be interesting to see who now appears…

I’m still reading but sometimes I like to catch up with the odd audiobook or two.

I’ve found a new source for free audiobooks.

The aptly named Books Should Be Free offers a selection of titles that you always wanted to read but never had the time to.

Go check it out today.

Hmm -still not brilliant.

Morning of working as much as I can.

Afternoon of blokey films and sleeping.

Now that’s the point of having a male cat…

I thought I could walk it off but it seems this isn’t the result of a bad night’s sleep.

I need to try to get through work and retire to the sofa …

Listen much to 6 Music ?

Ah – didn’t know it existed ?

I guess you are one of the many people without a DAB radio then.

I bet the fact that it is being closed came as a surprise to you then, didn’t it ?

Oh, the reason ?  Well not enough people are listening.

Hang on – there’s a problem with the logic isn’t there ?

radio bbc “radio 6″

First thing this morning : “I’m so happy with have a different cat, one who is more independent”, said K

This afternoon : “I had to catch him he was at the end of the road”, K returning with a struggling Eric.

It’s confinement for another week …

Outside the sky is clear, the temperature is below freezing and the night is silent but inside at The Woolpack it’s warm, the food and wine are great and we have the Snipe Room to look forward to for night sleeping in the country.
