New TV

February 19, 2008 | 10 Comments

Do I need a new television for my bedroom?
Old TV - 21″, 6 years old, quite large. Perfectly okay otherwise. Freeview box beside it.
New TV - 22″, flat screen, HD Ready, Freeview included, can also act as monitor. Shiny.
The coin I flip to make difficult decisions for me says no.
The fact I keep […]

One of my blogs has been receiving a lot of traffic lately. It averages at about 300 visits per day, with twice as many page views, and pretty much all goes to one post which is sitting just now on just under 6000 total visits.
The problem is, all of the hits seem to be […]

Server Side

October 25, 2007 | 4 Comments

Today I went with our tech guy to install a few new servers at one of the hosting spaces in East London. It’s not as high tech as our key server locations, so no retina scans or fingerprint pads - but it was still quite cool. It’s the first time I’ve been in […]

The Anonymous Mouse

October 13, 2007 | Leave a Comment

I often use anonymouse at work, and admit that it’s a great little site for checking that a domain actually resolves.
Here’s why you would use it. Say you go to a website and it’s all shiny and working and such, and then you change the domain name servers to your new host. […]

x.com lab site

I just headed over to paypal.com by my usual lazy method of entering the letter x into the address bar and hitting ctrl+enter - and instead of redirecting me to paypal.com like it normally does, it instead goes to a PayPal Labs page.
There are only a few projects on the go at the moment, […]

Google History

Sometimes I will search for something on the internet, but then forget just how I got to it a few days later - which can often be disappointing. This is especially frustrating if you find something and don’t take much notice, say a nice image, and then a few days later realise you really […]

Pain Free Foam

I love Sky News. It’s not even 9am and here is my quote of the day…

During the time I spent hitting him over the head with the shovel, Richard appeared to suffer no ill-effects.
It sounds like the caption for a Gary Larson sketch.
It’s actually from the story about an inventor who has developed a […]

Bob Dylan Plugin

September 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The Bob Dylan Facebook Plugin is probably the best one I have seen on Facebook so far.
The plugin takes a sample from the Subterranean Homesick Blues video and has your own message printed on the boards that Dylan flips through.
Superb!

Domain Parking

September 18, 2007 | 2 Comments

A couple of months ago I registered a name for $6, spent a few minutes sticking up a website with automated content and running adsense. The adsense did nothing - and I think I received about 50 pence for the whole duration the site was up…but adsense wasn’t really the point, more so I […]

Web site design

August 23, 2007 | 2 Comments

I’ve often thought in the past that I should make a little money out of designing websites for small companies, but have always shied away from doing so. Even when someone has come to me and asked me to do it, I’ve always said no - for free or for payment.
Perhaps I don’t […]
