Compare and contrast – SXSW
Roo is off at the fantastic SXSW conference in texas. You can follow his fun and frolis over on his blog I found it quite amusing that we posted individual photos up on flickr customizing out respective laptops, which I thought worth a comparison.
Mine was the arrival of my epredator Moo stickers with QR codes which I thenk stuck on my work Lenovo T61 Thinkpad epredator.com and eightbar.
Roo on the other hand had got his new personal MacBook Pro custom laser etched in Texas with an autobot logo
Just to keep the linked flow of things Roo also twittered he was just off to the Moo party :-)
Note also how this was not about us hooking up and following one another via one single social network or virtual world. Both Twitter and Flickr and various blogs also feature in keeping us appraised of what one another is up to. Even though in this case Roo is having the lions share of the fun and a little bit of Metaverse Evangelist PR :-)
*update I just noticed this said comments were turned off. That was unintentional despite the spam we get, normal service is now resumed, it must have been the mad UK weather ATM.

I subscribe to this blog with Google Reader and something odd happened today… At the end of the post (as shown in my Google Reader), there’s a long list of links, one per line, and they are all clearly not your intent (inviting me to buy stuff for men etc). So I clicked to come over to the main blog site, and lo, the links aren’t in the version at eightbar.co.uk. Weird. Spooky. It seems like someone’s figured out a way to append junk to feeds.

Hi Troy, I can see that too, though I’m not quite sure what’s going on. It doesn’t look like those links are in the xml that Google Reader would be using either.

Actually, I take that back. They are in the xml. Let me have a look.

@troy I am really not sure what happened there :-( I know when I posted it it mis behaved with the comments. I have managed to remove the spam that was embedded.
Daz is taking a look too. It may have been something my end. Doing a deep check on the computer right now.

Not that I’m impressed a lot, but this is a lot more than I expected for when I stumpled upon a link on Digg telling that the info here is quite decent. Thanks.
