Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.
I was hoping that I could start this Pants Award with my very own review from Ticking Timebomb. It’s one of those tweeny review sites that pop-up from time to time, but ultimately disappear because the standard of reviewing is piss poor and nobody actually reads them [the reviews]. Unfortunately, she refused to review me… read full entry »
I have just finished reading an article on Coding Horror about free software: We Don’t Use Software That Costs Money Here. Although the post itself is interesting and raises questions about what makes software worth paying for and why a person would use sub-standard free software, it was more a trend in the comments that… read full entry »
One of the quickest ways to make me smile is to link to my blog. I love the traffic — whether it’s 1 click-through or 100 — and I love the little bit of Google juice you’re passing my way. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the quickest ways to make me cringe because most people… read full entry »
I made some empty promises about my latest script, NinjaLinks, possibly being ready by the end of March. Obviously as it’s now a couple of hours from April that didn’t happen.

And don’t forget to customise your blockquote elements with the following snippet: 00px; text-align: left; border-top: 0px dotted #; border-left: 2px solid #000000; border-right: 0px solid #; border-bottom: 0px solid #; padding: 5px;… read full entry »
I found an entry at “cranky.nu” on Tutorials you don’t need – unless you’re an idiot (one of my old tutorialtastic tutorials is linked) and LOLed. It’s all true, except maybe: What shocks me the most is that the majority of the people who releases these “tutorials” explains they are doing so because “I get… read full entry »

BellaBuzz is now live-ish. As in, I think it works OK :3
