I just received an email offering me “Bacheelor, MasteerMBA, and Doctoraate diplomas”. Somewhat ironic that there’s spelling errors. They’re probably to try and fool the spam checkers.
I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of buying qualifications. I opened the email expecting to find a web link, but no, instead there’s a phone number. +1-801-504-2132
They ask you to call and leave a message with your name and phone number. It costs 1.2p per minute to call from Skype. Does anyone have any premium rate numbers? Preferrably the really, really expensive ones? I’ll happily waste some time and money leaving a few messages for them. 
Spotted this on Guy’s blog. Cisco made a presentation in India. There were 3 people on stage. One in India. Two in San Jose, onstage via live, holographic, 3d, video conferencing. Awesome! Check out the explanation and video.
An assortment of photos from Sydney follows.
It’s quite common to see surfers strolling through the streets of Sydney. In fairness, this was just across the road from the beach though!

The white ladies. This was taken at the Primo Italiano Italian Festival.
While leaving Agata’s place I couldn’t help but laugh at this sign. Otis, the lift company, are located at 5-9 Ricketty Street. Oh dear, that was an unfortunate choice!
I spotted Tunnocks Caramel Wafers in a speciality sweet shop in Pitt St Mall. I just couldn’t resist.
I’m starting to get a tiny bit ill. It’s the same sort of sore throat / slight cough that I’ve had a few times recently. So in a bid to beat it down once and for all, I’m going to overdose on raw food for the next few days! I whipped up to the shops this morning and bought a couple of bagfulls of goodness. Here’s my first raw breakfast:
I published the Real Global Terms and the SH Global Posts plugins today. It’s code I’ve had running for ages and have been promising to publish but never quite gotten round to it. Now it’s out, let the madness ensue…
You can follow the mars landing on Twitter. Ain’t that awesome?
Twitter really has become ubiquitous technology. Everyone’s on it. If only they could come out with a revenue model, make some money, hire some more brains, and sort out their reliability issues. On a plus note, they’re recently blogging about failures or outages, which is nice.
Seth posted a request for people to send pictures of themselves for the cover of his next book. What a genius idea! So sure enough, I whipped off a headshot. You never know, I might be immortalised in print!
Which begs the question, will I have to buy the book to find out? Is that part of the genius?
