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

rev.iew.me is Better than Obama

Seriously, everyone else has been mentioning the new president lately, I felt like I should at least slip his name in there for good measure. Aside from the pointless political reference, one might question what the bloody hell I’m on about? What’s rev.iew.me? Aha! Secret project reveal time! (Except, it wasn’t kept that secret…) rev.iew.me… read full entry »

NinjaLinks Public Release

In the absence of any further bug reports, I’ve decided to release NinjaLinks to the public. It is still very much in a state of testing in my mind, and there are is a list of features that I have yet to add, but there is no better feedback than that of someone who’s using… read full entry »

Vanity Searches

Results 1 – 10 of about 4,130 for “Powered by BellaBook” Results 1 – 10 of about 7,250 for “Powered by BellaBuffs” I do quite like Google, even when it’s mean and takes away PR. I wonder how quickly “Powered by NinjaLinks” will grow…

Sneaky Tactics: Making Adverts Look Like the Browser

Over recent months, I’ve heard a lot from security experts and bloggers alike about spyware websites distributing their wares by way of fake screens that make users think they’re looking at errors and virus reports on their desktop. It’s an easy way to fool the less savvy into downloading malicious files, and all by convincing… read full entry »

NinjaLinks Private Testing

Ahh, My Baby!

Lookie, I’m home. It’s good to be back. It’s almost sad how dependant one becomes on their e-mail and web space. I can go on holiday and not care, but the second it is deprived from me through no choice of my own, I feel exploited :( Just to give you a rough indication of… read full entry »


Migration to The Planet

I was under the impression that we would be notified directly before this was going to happen, however… given that tutorialtastic has fallen off… read full entry »


Pants: Digital Sugar Designs

When you tell the world that you have “7 years of experience in the field“, it helps if you show that so-called experience off. And no, blurring a few dodgy photographs so that the subject looks like they’re being melted under a 500W halogen lamp does not count as experience in the field. Only in… read full entry »

Bloghopping Woes

I’m bloghopping; visiting a blog, reading for a while, then moving on to the next by way of the links/exits page. Except, every single click in the past half an hour has landed me on a site with text smaller than 9px. Crazy fools think I’ve got magnifying eyes or something?!

WordPress Related Posts in Sidebar

Several of you keep pestering me on how I do my ‘related posts’ thing in the sidebar. You’re nosy buggers, I’ll give you that. Anyway, here comes the confession part: they’re not really “related” posts at all. In fact, the only thing that they each have in common is that they’re in the same category…. read full entry »
