I’ve been having some server issues over the past 48 hours. Turns out there’s something on the OpenCouchSurfing wiki that causes the server to crash. I haven’t had a chance to fix it yet, so the wiki is offline for now. I’ll get onto it on Tuesday.

Since yesterday morning, Skype appears to be down. It’s not completely dead, but I can’t log on, and I can’t add any new contacts. Oh, and I can’t make any calls!
Time to look into the open protocols for Voice over IP and free myself from the closed, proprietary protocols of Skype.
Edit: You can see the latest Skype service status here.
Today I found myself searching for an image. There must be an alternative to Google’s Image Search I thought. A quick web search revealed Picsearch. A site the specialises in searching images on the internet. Wonderful.
So next time you want to find an image, don’t feed the Google beast, use Picsearch.
I’m delighted to announce that my brand new Treo 680 arrived today. Much sooner than anticipated. After much eBay research and repeated furious bidding, I finally managed to steal a bargain on a brand new Treo 680 at £130.17 on Friday night.
I debated at some length whether to pay an extra £2 for express delivery. I opted to chose patience instead. Then I watched DHL’s track and trace system with delight as I followed the path of my new gadget from Dublin to Edinburgh in only two days. Wonderful!
It’s working like a charm. One or two sync issues with Fedora 7, but more on that to follow… 
I discovered a great service recently called AuctionStealer. You enter an auction item number from eBay and it will submit a bid for you in the closing seconds of the auction. You get 3 free snipes a week, or you can sign up for their premium service for $9 a month. Wonderful!
