Following on from the weather feeds I did supported by backstage.bbc.co.uk I’ve now added a slightly modified XML feed which should be compatible with RSS readers out there. The feeds gives a daily summary for a specific location.

Wow, the heat just keeps on going in the good old UK.. This week the weather is going to be:
30,30,34,32,30 (celcius)
86,86,93,90,86 (faran)
Dave Winer thinks its hot in his neck of the woods!
Myspace is down due to a power problem. Sorry, I don’t think this is the full story. Firstly, the worlds number one website only exists at “one” datacentre with zero redundancy? Secondly, what datacentre only has a sinlge power feed coming in? Datacentres always have multiple redundant power, net, air conditioning links etc etc.. Lastly, if myspace is down then surely a host of other sites should be affected, given that the data centre which hosts myspace must host some other high profile sites.

I missed this first time around, very interesting letter from the MPA to the Swedish Government essentially demanding the closure of the Pirate Bay torrent site..
More and more coverage of the rival mp3 player coming from Microsoft. The Microsoft ZUNE is going to compete directly with the ipod.. this is excellent, lets hope apples propriatary stuff starts to end, its old news and getting too costly.

A picture can say a thousand words, this does it well

Bought a pair of KOSS headphones - what a complete waste. I bought some about 4 months ago and they broke (the hearing of the left side failed).. I thought that this may have been down to something I’ve done so bought a new pair.. Two weeks later and the new pair are broken again, this time the right side hearing. Flimsy, easily damaged and not worth the investment - ill be taking my money elsewhere.

BoingBoing pushed out a feature on the _very_ old story about the Microsoft/Sound Forge (deepzone) pirating things. Seriously, did you guys even bother to check up on this, Slashdot featured it in November 2004 after a German online magazine made some noise. Really OLD news.
Slashdot article from November 2004

Haven’t seen the Google Parks before, they’re very funny.
Probably well known but I thought I would point out Travel Wiki, this is an excellent travel resource for finding out about different countries and such.
Kids are cool, look at this
Jayne and Richard are up for eviction this Friday in BB7. Mikey also being investigated by police for sexual assault (WTF??)

Wierd and wonderful video of insects doing circus tricks [youtube]
Guardian reporting of the London based “Wank-a-thon“, odd.
Given the current middle east state, this bible code piece is interesting. No I don’t believe it but its interesting anyway.
Scoble points out the current noise being made about the IT calendar. If they want to do it, then let them.
Sad to see India has joined the growing number of nations to censor the internet for its citizens. Currently a number of blogging outfits are blocked.
Suprised by the new interface for Google Earth Beta 4. Not sure this is a good idea, each time you use the nav you have to think about which element you’re using..
Went to podtech.net, site got me confused, then got bored, then left.
