Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.

uploadthingy

I came across uploadthingy.com via Hacker News last week. The idea is that you enter in your domain and a password, and it generates some HTML for you which allows visitors to upload files via your site, except the uploads are sent to uploadthingy. It basically takes away the hassle of having to deal with… read full entry »

Quilting Bee Blog Day 2008

So, Monday was the quilting bee‘s annual blog day. As I’m sure you’re aware by now — either from my own past entries or from other bee’s — the idea is that dedicated members tell you why they love the club, what it provides for them, show you what activities they’ve taken part in, whatever;… read full entry »

After spending the past couple of years or whatever blasting the shit out of twitter because it’s encourages inane BS, I actually got one. To reserve my username, of course, no other reason :P

Dying Girl is Not Dying

I don’t know of how many of you will recall this, but when I gave out my last Pants Award, the recipient turned around and told me that I shouldn’t have criticised her site because she has terminal cancer. I’m not sure in what way the two are related — cancer doesn’t cause you to… read full entry »

Live.com Fake SERP Referrals Are Pissing Me Off

Melissa and I had a short chat about Live.com search results in our stats a while ago. Long story short, a whole bucketload of search result click-throughs were showing up in our hits that were either a) irrelevant to our sites or b) were bullshit, because we weren’t ranked for that term anyway. This wasn’t… read full entry »

Rev.iew.me Christmas Contest

I’ve teamed up with Jordan at Holdfire hosting to offer 6 months hosting and a domain absolutely free in the rev.iew.me Christmas contest — review and win :)

Alternative to Silk Icons

If you’re bored of famfamfam’s silk icon set, why not try out “Fugue“? (Attribution necessary unless you pay a license fee.)
