Unfortunately the "AllOfMike" feed doesn't work via Feedburner as it's probably too large. So, the feed is now: http://feedblendr.com/rss/11777
I've reverted the old MiramarMike to just being the blog for the time being.

After the week offline (and here) I've decided that I probably don't want to spend oodles of time blogging random thoughts that pop into my head because, well, I suspect you don't care. And so, the blog has changed - if you're reading this in an RSS reader click and have a look around.

There's now 3 sections, each with it's own RSS feed if you're only interested in one thing.

There is, however, a super-duper feed with all 3 sections for those that want the lot ... to this feed I will add more as I find them (books I've read, music I like, whatever).

RSS feed for all: http://feedblendr.com/rss/11777 http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllOfMiramarMike
Note: the old MiramarMike feed now includes the 'everything' items.


The three sections are:
1: Blog postings
The standard blog type stuff you know and love.
This is likely to be updated about 2-3 times a week, depending upon time, mood and what's happening in the world.

2: Flickr photos
Photo's from my on-line album - the only place I store them. The first 10 are the latest uploaded and the lower 10 are a random section from the many thousands out there.
These get updated at least once a week and when I do there's normally 20+ photo's.

3: Links I've shared
I use Google Reader now and not only is it the best (easiest, quickest and "just does it") RSS reader on the Web it allows me to push 'share' and let you see what I think is cool to read.
These are updated daily (hourly?) and are probably the

Oh, and no ads anymore ... because I agree with Craig Newmark, no-one's ever asked for it and the benefit to me isn't good enough.

Make Your Public Event Calendar Usable To All

Image
If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

[Updated] Pubs of 2024 Monmouth

Image
"Back in the day", yada yada yada, yes we all know there were more pubs than people, there was a pub every two houses, the largest number of pubs per square mile than anywhere in the known universe, there was a pub named after each and every one of us, and yet, YET we only ever went to same one every time. Monmouth has changed, it now only has 10 pubs.  "Ten! Ten? It used to be ten pubs just in the top of town. There were ten pubs I'd walk past to get to my local." Yes, yes ... times change, we now have 10 pubs in Monmouth . Oh, and the Mayhill but that seems to be more a ghost pub, it can be seen but only in the dark and no-one will believe if you say you went in. Monmouth, a town in Wales (YES, it is in Wales ), a town that has a population of around 10,317 (as at 2021). A town who's 1980's population was, well, I don't know, despite a century of censuses being taken, it's impossible to find (1991: 8,206 | 2001: 8,877 | 2011: 10,508 | 2021: 1

Catastrotivity, The How To

Image
Exurb2a on teh Interwebs (don't ask me I'm not down wiv da kidz) is a a channel/person/"content creator" that I've only recently discovered and I very glad I have. His videos cover everything, are productions of genius with a lot to say, and can be very funny through some quite deep stuff. He also did, a few years ago, a mini series called Catastrotivity . In 6 episodes of about 10 mins each he gives you the OK, the "Go do it", the "Don't listen to them!" that he's learned over the years of creating. It's is very VERY good. Whilst the above is YouTube you can also get it as a podcast via Spotify, I did, you should.
