World Cup fever and uScore Football

yedmart — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:07:36 +0000

While everyone was (and still is) frothing over the World Cup, we thought it would be a great move to reinvent our popular uScore Netball iPhone app as a sideline scoreboard for Football (soccer). Kids (and older kids included) are taking their World Cup spectator energy into their backyard, or down to the local park, to kick the ball around for their own friendly matches. Somebody needs to keep score, so uScore Football is doing the job.

uScore Football is another ultimate sideline scoring app for your iPhone or iPod Touch. You can see it in the app store by following the link below:

Jindabyne and surrounds

yedmart — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 10:31:56 +0000

Jindabyne is at the foot of Australia’s alpine country, the Snowy Mountains.The small town is a hive of activity during the winter months, accommodating most of Australia’s snow-seeking adventurers. However, during the warmer months, sans-snow, this town still provides plenty of opportunity to explore the great outdoors.

The township is nestled upon the picturesque Lake Jindabyne, a mecca for trout fishing, waterskiing and fishing and the surrounding mountains of Kosciusko National Park cater for even more, including 4WD adventures, bushwalking and mountain bike riding.

Possibly the best handwriting I have ever seen

yedmart — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:12:46 +0000

Upon recent purchase of a slice of the Great Australian Dream, the previous owner had left this beautiful, handwritten note. First thought was that this was a typed note, printed in an old fashioned, handwriting font. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this perfectly aligned wonder was produced by a human hand. This piece of treasure is definitely something to hold onto. Click to enlarge and see the note in all of its glory, although this scan does not do it justice. You don’t see handwriting like this these days.

Garage painting

A great way to liven up any garage – paint a crazy character on the wall! This character, giving the Aussie “thumbs up” was appropriately finished on Australia Day 2010. A video camera was set up on stop motion to capture the process. Jaruhd does not claim to be any kind of video expert, and somehow missed recording some footage near the start of the process, but the video will give you an insight into the aerosol art process.

Bali and beyond…

yedmart — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 07:29:44 +0000

A recent holiday to Bali netted a haul of great photos. The small tourist island of Indonesia is becoming the surfing capital of the world. Known primarily for its infamous surf breaks, the island boasts unparalleled sand, surf and sun.

The party centre of Kuta is a popular destination for surfers and revelers with 24 hour nightclubs and other Western influences, but you only have to venture a small way out of town to find yourself immersed in a jungle of wildlife, scenery and the arts, culture and lifestyle of Hinduism.

Little Sydney

I was ecstatic to hear I would be going on a wine tasting helicopter trip to the Hunter Valley for my work Christmas party. However, later when I was gazing down upon the magnificent Sydney Harbour from the sky, I only had my iPhone with me. Nether less, I snapped away, applied some tilt-shift post and created these images for you.

18 months of tweeting…

yedmart — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 07:31:01 +0000

Well, close enough for the purposes of this post.

A bright eyed, bushy tailed Yedmart was not unlike any other Twitter n00b when he first signed up back in August 2008. To this day, not much has changed. He is still trying to pinpoint a suitable use for the amazing tool/service.

After touting around the landscape of different clients and Twitter services, the preferred weapons of choice these days (or for the moment until something better comes along) are Tweetie and Hootsuite. If you have not used Tweetie on the Mac, please do. The UI is non-comparable to any other client out there. It is light, quick and just makes so much sense. The only gripe is the lack of lists/groups, but the ease of use makes up for this. There is a free version that is ad supported, but with ads run by Fusion, there is always something beautiful to look at.

Next, enter Hootsuite. Hootsuite basically has everything you need – support for lists, scheduled tweets, stats, multiple accounts, Facebook integration, keyword search/tracking etc etc all snapily accessible from a web browser. This allows you to get downright dirty with Twitter. Strategize, tweet, search/stalk and get bogged down in stats with all these fab tools at your disposal.

The picture below comes courtesy of Wordle. It is a mashup of the words I have most commonly used on Twitter. The big ‘RT’ is obviously from using Twitter’s ‘Retweet’ function, the ‘ping’ and ‘fm’ from the social network posting service, Ping.fm.
