Nice to see that others are noticing that there could be a conspiracy going on. Check out Flipping Heck for a quick post of the power of Yahoo.

But as I comment there, they seem to be influencing a whole lot more. Flickr and del.icio.us (why do they need so many ‘.’ s in their name?) were the first to fall into disrepair, but also Typepad had a major outage just after Yahoo announced a deal with them and their ‘beta’ community 360 has been having all sorts of problems (well my little bit of it – oh i could spit)

Anyway I was wondering what else they would or could touch? Typepad is part of Six Apart, which are the people behind Live Journal and Movable type, so expect them to suffer shortly. I am now waiting for my broadband connection to die, and also my phone line to go dead because my isp is BT who are in collaboration with Yahoo.

If only Yahoo could do something that would benefit the communities they serve, such as sponsor the Take That comeback tour or be the airline for Gary Glitter’s trip to Asia. They are things we could all do without. Let’s breakdown the things we don’t need, not the really useful sites on the web.

Now back to my tea.

Ok saw this on the BBC website and can’t help but think something is wrong somewhere. OK, this is a lot of money and I have no love for the big music conglomerate. But hey, do the surviving members of the Beatles and their estates really need that money? I suppose they’ll claim it is a matter of principle, but to be honest they haven’t got my sympathy.

Although, it also smacks of Apple trying to sort out its financial issues. I wonder if the first Sir Paul heard about it was when he read the above link here – LOL. Of course he is an avid reader, what do you mean?

Things seem to be going a lot better after the last week or so.

Some software issues seem to have been cleared up, life in general seems a bit better and, although I hasten to add this is allegedly, 1 and 1 internet are due to repay me within the next 14 days – LMAO.

To add to this Ferdinand finally breaks his duck and scores for Man Utd, which puts him slightly ahead of Diego Forlan in Utd’s top scorers.

I’ve caught up with a lot of sleep and now feel ready to take on the world again (damn different time zones). Which means a lot of to do lists, a clear out of all the ‘stuff’ and a lot of contructive thinking with regard to someday/maybe lists. (I still haven’t got David Allen’s book, but I know all the lingo). Why mention this? Well it’s because I’m not sure where cold tea is going at the moment, it has lost a bit of focus and it may simply be easier to use the other blogs and sites I have to ‘get out there’. So watch this space.
