Dropbox = Awesome

In Websites on 5 January 2009 tagged 2008, software, website with Comments Off

Drop­box is, per­haps, the single best web­site ever. Everever. Even more so than Tesco.com and they bring me food, so you know this isn’t a decision I’ve reached eas­ily. Sync doc­u­ments on dif­fer­ent com­puters, with a web-based inter­face for those pesky com­puters that won’t let you install any­thing, and a deleted doc­u­ment recov­ery facil­ity for those import­ant documents/essays you may pos­sibly, poten­tially, per­haps have deleted in a fit of insan­ity and can’t recover from your OS even with the aid of vari­ous doc­u­ment recov­ery tools. Not that I would ever do that.

Addi­tion­ally, the pub­lic folder allows you to drag in any doc­u­ment and get a pub­lic link to share in seconds — per­fect for those moments you just need to share a photo of a sleepy ham­ster but just don’t have the energy to type in a URL and click an upload button.

Songs I Was Obsessed With In 2008

In Uncategorized on 4 January 2009 tagged 2008, music, obsession, songs with Comments Off

In leiu of an in-depth sum­mary of the year that was 2008 — 366 days of lous­i­ness I would never want to repeat again, if that’s alright with you, future-self-who-has-a-time-machine — the next few posts will be quick, short notes from my year. I’ll spare you the whin­ing, though.

Songs I Was Obsessed With In 2008:
Ben Folds — ‘Cologne’
Ben Folds – ‘Hiroshima’
Wicked Soundtrack – ‘Defy­ing Grav­ity’
Alpha­beat — ‘Fas­cin­a­tion’
Cold­play – ‘Viva la Vida’
Girls Aloud — ‘Can’t Speak French’
Keane — ‘Spiralling’
Estelle feat Kanye West — ‘Amer­ican Boy’
Duffy — ‘Mercy’
The Ting Tings — ‘That’s Not My Name’
Sam Sparro — ‘Black and Gold’
Leona Lewis — ‘Run’
Ale­sha Dixon — ‘The Boy Does Noth­ing’
Pink – ‘So What’

In sum­mary: I could pre­tend to be hip and obscure, but I am anyone’s for a catchy hook and a bit of repetition.
