Toronto’s free downtown wi-fi – www.onezone.ca – has been live for about a month – but i’m only using it for the first time now. I wonder how useful this service really is – I’m sitting in Dundas Square trying to use the hotspot here, and while the weather isn’t that bad today, it’ll only … Read More
I’ve finally inserted the necessary code for Technorati on to my site – up until now i wanted to gain some data so that I can measure the value added by new Web2.0 apps. In short, the adding of Technorati was a pain. First off, their site sucks – it looks like a screwed up … Read More

At first I didn’t actually set it up directly to a computer but used the print direct from memory card feature. I’m using a Compact Flash card (it also supports memory sticks, and SD cards) … Read More
