Looking back at the last couple of years of software development, there are only a few applications that have had a breakthrough in numbers of users: FireFox, Trillian, Skype, Thunderbird, to mention a few. The UGC sites that have grown over the last couple of years (MySpace, Flickr, Facebook, digg, YouTube, to mention a few) can offer a great experience to their users, yet they only work when you are online (and in cases have a good internet connection) and they do not integrate with one’s desktop (other than the “upload file/image” feature).

Why I hate Neon Genesis Evangelion
* please note that this post does contain harsh language and may – WILL – offend fans of the series *
Right, so I guess most of you know Neon Genesis Evangelion (if not, read the Wiki page). Basically, a very good friend of mine from the good old uni days warmly recommended me that anime. And in fairness, when it started I did quite enjoy it. The drawing style was very well executed, the overall feel of being in future Japan fighting against ‘Angels’ looked very well and the soundtrack was this nice mix of classic and electro-pop as many animes have it.
So why did you not like it, Alex?
We are live
Thought I’d let you guys know that WWIT.co.uk is live. I am fairly happy with the template and the plugins (many thanks to those who helped). I will begin posting here tomorrow I guess. For now I wish you guys all the best, take it easy, and expect a rant soon-ish 😉
This will go live soon…
…I am still working some kinks out, plus I don’t like the theme yet.
Stay tuned, just a few more days 🙂
