It’s been a while since I last posted on here, partly due to being busy with work but mainly due to a mixture of lazyness (its takes alot of effort to write a blog post
) and having a lack of anything really interesting to write about/interesting enough to get anyone to read it.
I have however started a Twitter account and regularly tweet about random links I find and other interesting stuff. I dont know why exactly but I much prefer the restriction of just 140 characters per post/tweet as opposed to the ‘unlimited’ space for a blog post, I think it’s down to people expecting much more from a post than a quick tweet!
Therefore untill I decide otherwise I’m going to leave this site/page as is, anyone interested is encouraged to join Twitter and follow me! – www.Twitter.com/Roybott

Back at CES in Early January Microsoft announced Microsoft Tag ( http://www.microsoft.com/tag ), since then I’ve been intending on trying it out but never got round to it. During the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona today more information on Microsoft Tag was announced so I finally decided to give it a shot.
I have to say I’m really impressed by how well, and quickly, my phone picks up the tag and directs me to the desired site (or other task). It seems to work really well on tags of all sizes, clarity and even on tags shown briefly in videos running on my pc! Obviously I had to try creating my own tag to try it out, so here it is…
