Stompernet SIMPLE rant

June 21st, 2007 · Comments Off

Tweet More bitching about Stompernet SIMPLE I’m afraid. I’m getting nowhere near value for money at the moment and there is no way I would sign up for full Stompernet based on this experience. A few points that immediately spring to mind: Where are the faculty members in the forums? Why are there so many days [...]

The 4 hour work week

June 20th, 2007 · Comments Off

Tweet You can hardly miss this book by Tim Ferriss at the moment, it seems to be everywhere, but the question must be is it just hype or does it live up to its seemingly unbelieveable title? I read the book straight through when it first arrived and although it seems to set the reader up [...]

Skype twitterbot (or is that twitter skypebot?)

June 20th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Tweet Whichever way round it goes I just found a great tool that allows you to twitter from Skype. Saves having to open a browser window for twitter everytime and it updates in real time as far as I can see. So… how do you do it? Easy. Add twitter4skype as a Skype contact. Type [...]

WordPress plugins

June 20th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Tweet OK, I’ve finally got around to sorting out my page titles on the blog using the SEO Title Tag plugin for WordPress. I use WordPress for quite a few websites now and am planning on converting some others over as the benefits can be worth it. When I’ve converted in the past I’ve only partially converted, [...]

I Squidoo. Do you?

June 19th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Tweet Talking about more Web 2.0 stuff that I don’t quite get yet. I’ve got 2 or 3 Squidoo lenses published to date, but none of them seems to drive any traffic, although it never hurts to receive a bit of Google link juice. My last lens was published on June 17th and as yet [...]

Boo. Hiss. Madrid wins the league

June 19th, 2007 · Comments Off

Tweet It seemed like a close call, but in fact it wasn’t at all. However many goals Barcelona scored against Nastic on Sunday night it was really all down to how Mallorca stood up to Real Madrid. Although Mallorca were initially in the lead we only needed to hope for a draw. That’s where Madrid [...]

pwned by Ed Dale

June 18th, 2007 · Comments Off

Tweet After my comments on Twitter yesterday I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t quite get it. Uber twitterer Ed Dale replied to my comments on his blog with exhibit A; OK, I get that bit but I’m now waiting to see if he reveals exhibit B. The point Ed was making with exhibit [...]

Twitter twatter

June 17th, 2007 · 5 Comments

Tweet I signed up with Twitter because Ed Dale told me to, but for the life of me I can’t work out why. Ed is an extremely enthusiastic Twitterer and even has Twitter update his blog with what he’s Twittered about every day. The problem is I can’t see any real value in it. So [...]

Moan. Bitch. Complain.

June 15th, 2007 · Comments Off

Tweet Why is Fernando Alsono so unpleasant? Whenever he’s interviewed its always about how well he did, or how it was somebody elses fault that he didn’t drive well. Now he’s started bitching about his new team, McLaren, amid rumours that he’s going to move to Ferrari. He’s not comfortable, they give preferential treatment to his [...]
