Interweb

Fun time with RevWeb

by

Runtime Revolution is about to hit version 4 which includes a plugin to enable software created with it to be run in your web browser. Get the plug in and install it!

Here is a little guess the number test game I made awhile ago but not specifically for the web. It seems to mostly work 🙂

[Update: Does not seem to like FireFox 3.5.1 on my Mac. Works with Safari, Opera and Stainless browsers]

There is a new version of the Revolution software called revMedia with which you can create your own stuff. You will need to sign up to get the Alpha Testing version. It is FREE. It is FUN.

This could turn into an all nighter 😉

Bing bong

by

A humorous (in a tedious seen it all before kind of way) email from my daughter concluded (it was her HotMail account) with the message:

Surfing the web just got more rewarding. Download the New Internet Explorer 8

…which was the funniest part of the email. A good laugh is what one would normally expect from Microsoft but…. their new Bing search engine looks like it could be worth taking seriously.

Mobile Spotify

by

A demo of Spotify on an Android mobile phone.

Perhaps once they finish that Spotify will start to iron out some of the glitches in their catalogue listings….

Only one of these tracks is listed correctly. There are no prizes for spotting it or identifying all the tracks 😉 But…. [W:Ravens], [W:Crows]…. Near enough 🙁

I would have reported the errors but Spotify have moved to a Get Satisfaction forum. Why would anyone think this was a good idea?

One Love in the global village.

Long before the Interweb had been thought of [W:Marshall McLuhan] had come up with the idea of the global village which followed on from [W:Network theory] which had explored social networks and developed the idea of [W:Six degrees of separation].

Now we have Playing For Change which records a musician singing a song and takes it around the world so others can contribute to the piece.
