Tech Ok, just a quick blog post, but some people may find this useful . 
If you are like me and have a number of friends of facebook that play a lot of the facebook apps such as Farmville, Mafia Wars, Cafe World, etc and tend to hit the publish button every time they fire up the game, or what seems like every 30 seconds, your Facebook news feed, like mine can get a little crowded.
You could un-friend them, but that’s not very friendly, and if they enjoy playing the games, and I’m sure they have other friends that may finds the post of interest (eg, if they are playing the same game), but for me, it just makes my News Feed unreadable.
The solution is simpler than you think !, when you see one of the offending posts, just mouse over the top right hand corner, and click the hide button. This will hide this post, and give you the option to hide notifications from just this app, or from this user. Hiding the app, will hide all posts from this application.
I spent 5 minutes running through my news feed, hiding all the apps, and now my feed just has relevant information to me, it’s like the good old days of Facebook again.
edit : Just has a message from Chris, and apparently if you just use Lite version of Facebook, you don’t get any apps showing.

Brain Dump As you may remember on Jan 18, 2009, I posted a blog about starting some homebrew wine. Well, within 2 weeks it had stopped bubbling, I did the the weight test, and it’s registering at 1001, which means we’re good to go.
I popped out at the weekend and got myself 6 x 1Lt bottles, and some corks.
The last 2 packets of the formular have been added to the bottle (approx 24 hours ago), and I’ve just put it in a cold place to settle.
Fingers crossed, in approx 7 days, I shall have 6 Litres of homebrew red wine……I think that’s going to hurt.
