Feedburner ‘sploded?

What the bloody hell has gone wrong with Feedburner? I logged in yesterday to try and figure out why my feed subscriber count had dropped from 561 (highest it’s ever been) to two hundred and something, to see a notice from Google about the whole shebang moving over to feedburner.google.com. “Click here to move your… read full entry »

I Got a Flickr

As much as I promised myself I never would — because I have web space, why not use it? — I got a flickr the other day to view some friends-only photos, and then actually uploaded some pictures today. I suck, I know. It was just too much hassle to finish off the gallery script… read full entry »

Sorry for the Downtime

My apologies if you came to the site earlier and found it unavailable. The server I am on was down for over 7 hours this morning. It’s annoying, and sad. It’s sad, because I had over 2 years of fantastic uptime from Site5, they moved me to a new server last year and now I… read full entry »

3,460,000 People Missing an Opportunity

As a NoScript user (for the sake of speed and security), I’m sick of seeing the words ‘Provide alternate content for browsers that do not support scripting‘ so out of interest I did a little Googling. Surprise surprise: Results 1 – 10 of about 3,460,000 for “Provide alternate content for browsers that do not support… read full entry »

Boy Do I Feel Guilty

tutorialtastic got just under 10,000 unique hits from StumbleUpon this week, and I didn’t even notice because I’ve been neglecting the site for so long. How bad does that make me feel? Terrible, I tell you. If you’re a tutorialtastic fan, don’t think too badly of me. It’s not that I’m actually neglecting the site,… read full entry »

Repeated Amazon Problems

Has anyone else been having problems with Amazon lately? I did a lot of my Christmas stuff online thanks to the Amazon Prime trial. Free next day delivery is a bonus in anyone’s eyes! Anyway, when I did some seriously last minute shopping 3 days before Christmas and tried to check out, Amazon had suddenly… read full entry »

Why Bother with Relative Font Sizes?

Some 8-9 years ago when I started knocking up pages in my Geocities page builder, I specified 8pt Verdana and considered myself ahead of the curve because my site text was bigger than most at the time. A couple of years later (or thereabouts) I learned that pt was bad — pt, or ‘point’, is… read full entry »

New Sexy GIMP Layout

To celebrate my move to a superior operating system (too early for the fangirling?) I hereby release my latest layout. It’s got blue, it’s got ninjas, it’s got icons, a gradient, syndicated feeds… it must be some sort of web 2.0 mish-mash hodge-podge?! I’m trying out some new things with this latest creation. For starters,… read full entry »


My Blog Resolutions

Now that you’ve read every man and his dog’s post on new years resolutions, including my ramble on my efficiency drive for 2009 (already going well, I might add) I thought it appropriate to talk about the resolutions my blog/website will be making. Yes, a website can have resolutions, I’m not crazy. :P Firstly, 2008… read full entry »


The New CSSbake

Some time in 2008 I approached Ben with a view to taking CSSbake off his hands. It hadn’t been updated in a while and it seemed such a shame to let a good domain name go to waste. Thankfully — because now my time is dedicated to rev.iew.me instead — he turned me down, and… read full entry »
