  • Pirated Windows 7 Review
    No blogs for a long time, 2 months actually.. That’s so bad! Anyway, I feel a little guilty and hits are starting to drop off from this site, soooooooooo, I thought I’d share this little gem with you which made me chuckle this morning. A Review of the Pirated Windows 7 Blogging frequency will improve when [...]
  • Using OpenDNS for reliable, feature rich DNS
    Yesterday and today I was annoyed to find that some of my domains had disappeared from the face of the earth.  Others that were assigned to the same server were responding normally and the server was up and functioning fine.  At first I thought it must be a problem relating to Godaddy DNS services (they [...]
  • URLshort Finished!
    Well I never expected that I’d be posting this today. My [url=http://www.urlshort.com]URL shortening service[/url] is now completely ready to use. It is not complete in the way that the pages are still very minimal and have no content on them but what is 100% required. I have, however finished all of the backend stuff. [...]
  • URLshort Updates
    Hello there, I have been a busy boy today and as-promised, I have some [url=http://www.urlshort.com]URLshort[/url] related updates for you guys. The first thing I did today was put together a little logo image and a little bit of XHTML/CSS to come up with the first layout candidate for the [url=http://www.urlshort.com]URLshort[/url] main page. This is [...]
  • My new Domain :)
    My friend Andy’s domain was set to expire in a few days time, and being as unemployed as he is, couldn’t afford to pay the £5 to renew it. I stepped in and offered him access to my Dedi server in turn for his domain . He accepted, but after [...]
  • Lifehacker – Consolidate Firefox’s Chrome
    Hello. I don’t have much to share today. Just a quick reblog of something I found by accident over at lifehacker.com (A blog which I have since subscribed to ) which gives some tips on how to clean up Firefox 3’s Chrome to save vertical space [url=http://lifehacker.com/396863/how-to-consolidate-firefox-3s-chrome]Consolidate Firefox 3’s chrome[/url] helped me shave [...]
  • Google calculator. It’s insane!
    After glancing at that annoying 118 118 advert, I typed into google, [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=A10&q=speed+of+sound&btnG=Search&meta=]“Speed of Sound”[/url]. After this I thought, would it put it into a more usable unit, so then I tried [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=GNg&q=speed+of+sound+in+mph&btnG=Search&meta=]“Speed of Sound in mph”[/url]. I then thought “wow that’s quite clever. Wonder if I can trick it”. Now, see [...]
  • Xbox is on ebay :)
    In another effort to raise my lowsy feedback rating I put my old Xbox and a few games on the bay . [url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320284657197]Buy it[/url] :D:D Only 99p.. [b]In other news…[/b] Dragracer is now even more complete with more cars, more mods, more users and more features. Go to [url=http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=17055912033]Facebook[/url] to play it now . Peace [...]
  • Dragracer – Finished :)
    Today I have completed my Facebook application "Drag Racer" to the point of playability! The game consists of buying and tuning cars and racing them against your friends. It is far from what I want it to be but I can consider it complete in the sense that you can add it and have some [...]
  • TheVDS on Ebay
    One of my domains is on ebay, partly because I’m never going to use it, partly because I needed something to list to make a new ebay seller account. The domain in question is[url=http://www.thevds.com] [b]www.thevds.com[/b][/url] and is available for sale [url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TheVDS-com-brandable-web-hosting-domain-name_W0QQitemZ320281662808QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320281662808]here[/url]
