Yesterday marked a milestone for this blog. It is two years since I started this blog, and called it home for my little piece of the Internet. Looking back it is interesting to see how the voice of the blog has changed. It started life as a place to write about my explorations with technology while I was part of the RUBRIC project . The programming language I wrote most about then was Python , and that was mostly all I wrote about. I then moved to South Australia and took up a position as the Systems Librarian at the University of Adelaide . My posts started to be more about Ubuntu Linux , which I’ve been using full time on my laptop for a number of years now, programming in Perl and my photography . Now I’m working in the Office of Research at Flinders University . I’m now programming in PHP and exploring so called “Web 2.0″ technologies such as AJAX in my development work.

Additive boosts biofuel use
From: biofuelnewsblog.com

An additive developed by Flinders University could significantly boost biofuel use following its commercialisation. The additive lowers the temperature at which tallow-based biodiesel solidifies - a problem which causes fuel flow difficulties and has constrained the take-up of biofuels made from the waste products of abattoirs. Leader of Flinders Materials and Bio-energy Group, Stephen Clarke, said there "is a huge potential market for tallow-based biofuels, with the current consumption of... more

I stumbled a post on the Freakonomics blog today entitled “ The Growth of the Schwag Commentariat “. It is interesting to me because I’m working on setting up a new corporate blog at my place of work and commenting, or the possible lack of commenting is one of the things on my mind.

I first spotted a link to this quiz at the Pew Internet & American Life Institute at the LibrarianInBlack blog. Which incidentally is one of the blogs, if not the only the only blog, that I’ve been subscribed to the longest in the 4 plus years I’ve been subscribing to blogs. The quiz takes a look at how you fit in a series of groups based on your interactions with technology. Apparently I fall in the Omnivore group who, according to the website are people who: “use... more

Today I released an updated version of the Libraries Interact - Aussie Library Blogs page. The page, and associated Google CSE is generated using a plugin that I’ve created with the assistance of the kind folks at the Libraries Interact website. You can read more about the plugin by visiting the Blogroll to Google CSE project page on my blog. Hopefully soon the plugin will be hosted on the WordPress website . It is an exciting, and yet nervous time, for me as the first W... more
