Oliver Jackson is a blogger, web developer & designer living and working in Edinburgh.
Threadless have one of their fantastic $10 annual sales on at the moment. So Kerry and I have stocked up with a mega-order:
Even with $25 of postage it still works out so much better than buying shirts in the UK. Gotta love the current $ to £ exchange rate!
I finally got to have a game of the super-new version of Natural Selection last night. I haven’t gamed online for ages. With my non-student working lifestyle it’s often hard to find the time. There have been some nice improvements and it is looking more polished than ever. It is probably the most professionally done mod I’ve played in a while. You completely forget that you’re playing a community-built free add-on for a game seven years old. Cracking stuff.

MSN Sandbox, an awful lot like Google Labs.

There are some neat interface design tips over on my current fave 37signals.
Joe has found a new job working for Forbidden Planet which is probably one of his dream companies to work for. He’s not just working for them though, he’s now running the Company Blog. Oh the irony!
I’ve decided to enable Gravatars on my blog comments to give the “commentees” a bit more of an identity. Gravatars are basically avatars that are tied to your email address. When you comment on a blog using your Gravatar enabled email address an image of your choice will show up next to your comment representing you. I think it’s quite neat and helps to make discussion a bit livelier.
Started reading this monster.
Update: I’ve picked this up again, after a gap of about 8 months!
