…or near enough! Seriously, now is the time to be buying geek t-shirts. I’ve just bought three new t-shirts (I know, I know) from ThinkGeek which — including the ridiculous cost of delivering them from the States — have cost me less than three from syswear.com would have and they don’t charge for delivery. (If […]

Why Should I Pay?
Mint, my stats tracker of choice, was upgraded recently. There’s even a nice little button which has appeared at the top of my install telling me so (). How sweet… and yet completely pointless because I can’t see me upgrading anytime soon. “!?!” you proclaim. “But you always encourage updating your scripts!” I hear you […]

Nostalgic
Anyhow.. am I just being nostalgic and old-fashioned when I question web advertising and banners on personal web pages?
