Today is Goal 4 A Goal Day - April 18th 2009 at the SCG
Ryan O'Keefe Goal 4 Goal Ambassador
Please help support the Oncology Children’s Foundation.
You can donate via the website Goal 4 A Goal is or at the game today if you are heading out.
About Goal 4 A Goal
Goal 4 A Goal is a joint initiative between the Sydney Swans and the Oncology Children’s Foundation.
“This project has reached an exciting stage. During 2009 human trials will take place and a number of children with incurable brain tumours will be able to register to participate. These children have no hope of survival and these trials will be their last opportunity of possibly growing up and leading some kind of normal life. Without OCF’s funding and the Goal 4 A Goal program, it would not have gone ahead”. Paul Roos

I have been looking into what feeds are available for Facebook. Everytime Facebook changes, it seems we loose acces, or the ability to find certain RSS feeds.
So far I have only been able to find 5 feeds: Status, Friends Status, Notifications ,Friends links and Friend List.
Thanks for the tip, Bill

Google Sync finally released - does it work?
Google has finally released Google Sync last week Sync your contacts and calendar with your phone. It claims to sync up my Google account with my iPhone, something that I have been trying to do since I bought my iPhone.
To be honest, I can’t believe it has taken this long. Google contacts has always been extremely crap, the poor cousin of Gmail. I only hope they have worked on the contacts interface and data export/import feature as well.
I plan to set this all up in the next couple of days so I will let you know how it goes!
