I am doing 43 things.

A friend of mine has been busy building a link site called http://www.lilisto.com which looks like a pretty neat bookmarks manager. But of course I have lost my password, so during the wait I checked out del.icio.us a bookmark tagging system that has been around for some time. I never bothered to put my bookmarks on until now because I have really started to use more than one computer at home - including a Mac with Camino. Hope this will help until I get lilisto up and running.

Del.icio.us made it more difficult from the start because their import manager was not working, but luckily I found a Java applet that will do the job. If you only have a few bookmarks you can try an online version here.

I have also created a timc3 technorati account. Not sure why, just jumping on yet another bandwagon I suppose but it can’t do any harm. Taking ages to go through the claim step though. So far it seems like it doesn’t offer much, but there must be a reason that so many people are using it.

Just been looking over this design, and its clear to me that theres still a lot of work to do. One of the problems with going to a off the shelf blogging tool and then modding it is the that it takes a while to get to know everything and change it as needed. I have some time now to put in the effort - so you are going to see some changes around here. Bear with me whilst this goes under maintenance. I am aiming to keep the content flowing though.

One of the posts that I came across on humhum.be was the about logo evolution, here are the links cut+pasted out for others to see.

Canon
Castrol
John Hopkins
Sunbird
TV Logos
Batman
TOTP
Atari
Bic
Chevron
Starbucks
SBC

I posted this earlier but I will do it again, the FedEx logo and Eric Spiekermann has done an illustrated essay about the development of the Leica mark.

Well finally I have moved this blog from testing into its real domain. It now mirrors more effectively the style of www.timc3.com but looking at it after a few weeks of having no internet connection I still see I have a lot of work to do. Moving from my own code base means that I don’t have to spend time on coding it anymore and should be able to get on with the content!

The other main news and the reason that I have been away from posting so much is the fact that I have moved from London to Bergen in Norway, several reasons behind it but obviously I have always wanted to try and live in a country other than England. The move went quite smoothly - we hired a Van from Norway, Jeanettes parents brought it across and we then filled it up (and it was totally full!) drove it to Newcastle and got the Ferry.

Normally there is a ferry from Newcastle to Bergen and that would have made life very easy, but of course they do maintenance work on the Ferry and we picked the time (Late October, Early November) on which they do this. A Ferry to Kristansands in the South of Norway got us to the country and an 8 hour drive on pretty main roads finally got us to Bergen.

So here we are, I will put in another post whats happened since as I am sure that the information will be useful to others if they ever want to move to Norway!
