I’m away from tonight for a long weekend of Stag paintball shenanigans with Rick and the lads. Should have some good stories and photos on Monday

Kerry and I went to the see TES tonight at the Film House. He was showing a re-editing of the ‘The Warriors‘ with a live hip-hop soundtrack. It was prety damn cool. I’d never seen the film before but Kerry loves it, and now I want to see the full version. He was powering everything off a powerbook aswell, which added to the geek factor

This is aces, someone (another Oliver) has written a super-cool parser for XFN data. Check out the page for my site.

Lately the boys and I over at Google Sightseeing have been conversing with Brad Stone, a journalist from Newsweek. His article about the whole thing is now up online to read and gives us a nice write-up along with lots of quotes from Alex. Annoyingly, he initially spelt my name as “Ollie” which drives me nuts (I always spell it “Olly”) so I dropped him a polite email and he changed it pronto . Brad even gets in some cheeky digs at our quaint Brit view of the world and the wacky way we pronounce things (it was a telephone interview).

Unsure of which party has promised what for the upcoming elections? Who Should I Vote For is for you.

According to them I’m a raving Lib Dem, closely followed by the Greens. Sounds about right to me.

Wahey! At last Google have released Google Maps UK. I’m honoured that we’re the first European country to get the maps treatment. Now they just need to integrate the UK satellite data from keyhole

I think their map rendering algorithm must have struggled a bit with our wacky non-grid like roads. I still like the style of the maps and the interface is just genius. I atttempted to use multimap the other day and was totally stuck when I couldn’t drag the map around. Google must have some mighty clever DOM gurus working for them.

This guy has constructed his own comics using screen shots from Half-Life 2 for all of the artwork. It is very, very well done. This guy has some skills! http://www.phwcomics.com/
