Where is my free laptop?

Apparently MS has been giving out (rather nice) laptops as gifts to bloggers

Now then, where's mine?

Blog update

It's been a right pain in the **** but I've got Movable Type 3.3 installed and with it a few new features like the "tag cloud". I just wish there was a way to assign MT tags using Microsoft Live Writer, then I'd never have to touch the web interface...

Nike+ disassembled

This is very sad , but what else can you do when your Nike+iPod running sensor goes flat and you can't change the battery?

I had to take a Dremel to it to get it open...

Only after the event did I find a page with a technical writeup (if you're into that sort of thing).

I am still pretty annoyed that you have to spend £20 a year on replacing the thing. How hard could it have been to build in a watertight battery compartment?

ORDB

It seems that ORDB is going away, so if you use it in your RBLs then you should remove it.

Looking at my stats it seems that ORDB hasn't done very much so it's not a great loss:

xbl.spamhaus.org 78.89%
list.dsbl.org 19.31%
sbl.spamhaus.org 1.21%
dnsbl.sorbs.net 0.57%
relays.ordb.org 0.03%
