Corel VideoStudio Pro X4 launched
18 March 2011 – 1:56 pm
I was a PC guy for many years and my favourite app, hands down, was CorelDraw. I could never understand why Illustrator was so popular (back then) when CorelDraw could do SO much more! Anyway, Corel’s got some cool demo videos online, showing you what can be achieved with their latest release, VideoStudio Pro X4. […]
Prezi rocks!
10 March 2011 – 11:00 am
Just did my first presentation using Prezi, and I think it rocked! I was invited to speak to small business owners in the City of Darebin last night, and I used it as justification to get into Prezi for the first time. I’m very happy with the results, and recommend Prezi to anyone who wants […]
Android gets everyone in a frenzy at Mobile World Congress
21 February 2011 – 6:34 am
I’m a sucker for a good marketing idea. Probably because there are a lot of bad ones. This year at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Google came up with a doozie of a good one for their Android operating system. In fact, a few good ones. Dissecting the Android approach to driving traffic to […]

Exciting news! The fine folk at LG have picked me to be a member of their Twitter Team for the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in a couple of weeks. I plan to tweet and blog like crazy, not just about LG but about the whole experience! Because my readership here is not hugely […]
The top 100 most influential Australians talking politics on Twitter
18 October 2010 – 1:50 pm
Just read this article about some smart blokes over at Northwestern University who’ve developed what I immediately recognized as a pretty smart algorithm for ranking tweeps by influence against a given “trending topic”. So I picked an area where I could have a vague clue if the algorithm worked well or not, and was pleasantly […]

Sorry for the silence, friends. I’ve had much going on lately and little energy to go around. Please be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. Meanwhile, I’m the guy building all the web infrastructure behind Ozfuze, if you wonder what I’m up to!
A great little trick for debugging WordPress problems
3 June 2010 – 1:18 pm
This week I upgraded a new client’s WordPress blog from version 2.6 to 2.9.2. All went just dandy. Then today he emailed me to say that he’d noticed his post excerpts were not appearing where they were supposed to, in single post pages. On closer inspection I noticed that the excerpts displayed fine on the […]
