What has blogging given me?
Justin Shattuck hit me up with a new meme that's been started. It's only two layers deep at the moment which is unusual since I nearly always seem to be tagged right at the end of a memes life.

Malaysia – Cameron Highlands

ReviewMe Launches

The title says pretty much everything.
Zamzar is a new website that converts files from one format to another.
That's about it really. I'm making this post as a bookmark in case I ever need to use it in the future - obviously being "web 2.0" they can't have a memorable name.
Malaysia – Kuala Lumpur and Pangkor
The reason I went to Malaysia is because my Aunt and Uncle are teachers at a college over there. They have been living in Malaysia for 3 or 4 years now and will likely stay there for at least a couple more. When they came home last Christmas they asked my brother (Joe) and I if we would like to go over and visit them some time. We both thought it would be an enjoyable experience and said yes.

Cool places to work
I have mentioned the Google offices (Googleplex) before but I found out about this website today. I still think I work in a cool place, a pool table in the middle of the office can't be a bad thing can it? - but these offices do look rather funky. In particular the Red Bull one.
WordPress Tips and Tricks – Post in Advance
I'm sure most people know about this but the ability to post things in advance with WordPress is absolutely great. My two blogs (this one and Binary Joy) posted 16 articles whilst I was on holiday despite me not being there.
To post in the future all you have to do is:
write your post as normal find the Post Timestamp panel edit the time and tick the Edit timestamp box PublishThere you have it. Easy!
