OK so it's been a while since I last posted... but I have been moving house, which is always a nightmare! I am also yet to get access to the interweb in the new place, but O2 have just confirmed it will be all set next Thursday :)
O2 have been very good at keeping me up to date on their progress. John Lewis (well home delivery network that they use) managed to miss a paid for delivery day, and then try and lie to say no one was in.... very poor.

Microformat’s are great, and enable us to add even better semantics to our HTML. Using browser plugins we are starting to see the start of what is possible, Operator 0.9.2 offers fantastic functionality in Firefox, and hopefully we will soon see more main stream implementations by the browser manufacturers.
Ideally an IE plugin, but also something [...]
About 9 or so years ago I first tried food shopping on-line with Sainsburys. The experience wasn’t great, you had to get a CD sent to you with the products on, then wait for the product update over your 56k modem every time you started up, and then not receive half the stuff you ordered, [...]
