Random reads on the web
filed in General on May.01, 2008
May the 1st, 1 month away from turning 26, 10 days away from the due date of my baby boy and 2 days away from the weekend.
I guess I’ll carry on this random post my sharing a few things I’ve read on the various blogs, forums and other site on the net today.
Google PR Update - It looks as if Google are in the middle of updating the PR that you will see if you have the Google Toolbar installed. There seems to be a lot of pages fluctuating and some people gaining page rank 5 from page rank 0. Still no movement for me, have you checked your Page Rank (PR)?
GTA IV Problems - Rockstar games have recently released one of the most anticipated games ever only to have customers complaining that after the very first cut scene the game freezes. This seems to be effacing Xbox 360 and PS3 users, (although not all of them). I have also read a rumor that it would take an hour to drive (in the game, obviously) from one side of the GTA IV map to the other. Would be interesting if it turns out to be true.
Twitter - This seems to be the next big thing in social networking. I have seen a lot of bloggers using it and a lot of posts about it. Are you a user? Watch out for a Phil Benwell joins Twitter post.
Oh and I have a few assignments to complete - best stop wasting time and get down to some work.
Anybody else seem to do anything but what they should really be doing?

I’ve heard of Twitter, but never got around to joining. It doesn’t seem like a big enough deal to worry about. Yet.
As for GTAIV, I wouldn’t be amazed if the map was that big. Now I want to get it even more, though, because there would be some awesome driving scenes in that.

I have seen alot of press on Twitter lately, To me its just another social networking craze which will only die down when the next thing comes along. Ill stick to Facebook for the time being!

I will watch out for that post. Let me know when you publish it in case I miss it.
I have also purchased GTA IV and have not seen any symptoms of the game freezing up. I am still trying to unlock the full map but it does look pretty damn big!
