4.5 Petabytes
Friday, May 22, 2009
An interesting figure - I have to admit I have had to look up exactly what a Petabyte is. If you’re interested it is one quadrillion bytes (1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes). To put that in context a Gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes, a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes. Allegedly the size of the Internets Archive Wayback Engine. My .net magazine is claiming this is the size of the internet - housed in a single 20 foot shipping container.

Digital Planet
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
The BBC World Service has a weekly podcast called Digital Planet that discusses how digital technology is affecting our lives around the world. Well worth a listen - you realise just whats happening in other countries. This week Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launches a new phone called the Vergatario (translation - a large penis). Possibly the cheapest phone available anywhere, it sports a camera, WAP internet access, FM radio and MP3 and MP4 players for music and videos.

Down for everyone or just me?
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
I can sometimes get frantic calls from clients saying “My websites’ down!!” when in fact its up and running. The reason the client can’t see it can vary from their internet connection wasn’t working to a faulty BT exchange and that side of the country just wasn’t getting info from the server. So I was really excited to find this little tool:

Cool Iris

I’ve been using Firefox for ages now and pretty much have every add on you can find space for! However the other day I was introduced to Cool Iris - oh my goodness! It totally blew me away.
Makes hunting for images so much more fun!
