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. I do have excuses reasons for this though… NinjaLinks is supposed to be my secure replacement for SimpleDir. It’s needed, the old script is… read full entry »

I’ve just received a phishing mail, supposedly from “Amazon Delivers”. I’ve never had one of these before. Shame about the bad punctuation (“.?”) which kinda gave the game away.

Some of you may be aware of my previous post on Frozen Midnight Hosting in which I referenced their apparent defrauding of customers, and a follow-up on Jamie’s other “activities”. Well, I noticed a few hits through a thread at web hosting talk earlier so I took a peek at the FMH homepage for shits… read full entry »

According to Millie, “Everyone needs to know the proper usage of basic HTML” and that includes <font face=”tahoma”> and <your text here</u>.

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

I’ve noticed something recently, and it’s started to really bug me: more and more people are removing the date/time from comments on their entries. It doesn’t sound like a major offence, and up until the past few weeks it didn’t even cross my mind as a “blogging faux pas”, but I can see now why… read full entry »

As some of you may or may not know, the recently opened Neonglow forums have a celebrity-based header. I criticised this not long after it was opened and the general response from the admin (Becky/Sarai/Brent) can be summarised as “we don’t care”. Y’all know I don’t agree with copyright infringement but as I have no… read full entry »
