Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.
Yes, that’s right, I am confessing to abandoning my blog (amongst other things, like Snark). This past fortnight I’ve been spending every minute of free time working with Bubs to re-develop the quilting bee. There’s so many new features and functionality I’m not sure how we have managed to do it all! Those of you… read full entry »
Usually if I don’t have the time to review a script I advise people to Google for security issues. Except, with the recent problem surrounding the false reports of a login issue with my scripts, it’s becoming more and more apparent that we can’t rely on only Google. Amongst good advice (of which there is… read full entry »
I give up; I’m caving in because I don’t understand. What’s with the sudden surge of people relying on their age as a get-out clause for anything and everything that they see fit? If it’s not teenagers and young adults blaming their stupidity on age (“I’m only 15, I couldn’t possible know HTML properly!”) it’s… read full entry »
Back when the reviewing website ReviewMe first came out I debated with myself whether reviewing for these guys was any different to blogstitution — i.e. pay per posts and sites of that ilk. I never did make my mind up but decided that I didn’t care because I wasn’t going to take part anyway. However,… read full entry »
It has come to my attention that as the Internet fills with many, many young children, the e-tard quota rapidly increases. If you find somebody afflicted with this common problem, you’ll notice that they’re probably aged 12-15, they use 8 different colours to highlight their text (because just “bold” is obviously not enough) and assume… read full entry »
Some little asswipe sent in a vulnerability report to securityfocus.com (the same site Amelie had faux report problems with; which just happens to mirror to thousands of blogs and security websites across the Internet) claiming that there’s a login issue in BellaBiblio and BellaBook/BellaBuffs (he couldn’t make his mind up with that one) making them… read full entry »
I didn’t think I’d ever need to explain this because it seemed pretty obvious but a recent conversation at Snark proved otherwise… If you want to be listed in Google with your name (or any other word for that matter) you must include that name/word on your website. Search engines/spiders aren’t psychic and won’t be… read full entry »
On the 2nd of July (this year) a friend of mine received an e-mail from “Frozen Midnight, LLC” hosting. The e-mail contained threats of legal action and the involvement of local law enforcement because my friend’s account had apparently been caught breaking the Frozen Midnight terms of service. In a fluster, my friend agreed to… read full entry »
One of the things that I find most annoying about myself is my inability to concentrate on a long term goal, or work on a project over a series of months. It’s not that I have issues seeing things through because I do eventually get there, just that I find it a huge struggle to… read full entry »
Rhys posted today about the things that he’s yet to achieve as a blogger, which in turn got me thinking about the things I have achieved as a blogger slash site owner slash developer (why the hell am I typing out “slash”?!) Although getting free t-shirts and reaching a global audience of thousands is pretty… read full entry »
