Chinese new year happened over here and I didn’t have any internet access over the last week or so.
So naturally one of my wordpress plugins realises I’m not around and decided to go rogue and place undue stress on the hosting database. Hosting company then realise this and disable the database until I get in [...]

I’m a few days late with this post due to internet problems but give or take a week I don’t really think the blog is going to mind.
It’s been an interesting year for me writing for this website. I started off with absolutely nothing. I had no web presence under OzSoapbox and started from scratch.
In [...]

I’ve been blogging remotely with my Asus Eee PC for a few months now and out of the box the Eee PC’s are capable of catering to most travellers needs.
Having said that however there are several things you can do to make relying on an Eee PC that much easier. Today I thought I’d share [...]

I’ve been living out of a suitcase this past week as I’ve made my way around Taiwan. Luckily I’ve had the luxury of a relatively stable internet connection so although blogging frequency has slipped I’ve still been able to keep things somewhat updated around here.
Over the next week or so (could be two weeks) I’m [...]

I’ve never been a fan of laptops. They’re fiddly, annoying and why bother with something inferior when you’ve got a nice beefy desktop capable of doing anything.
Don’t get me wrong, I see the practical use for them but personally I’ve never had the need for one and have avoided getting one ‘just because’.

If you’ve used the internet for more then thirty seconds at any given time over the last few months then you’ve probably seen the giant boob ads for online game Evony. You know, the ones featuring euro-trash models with giant cleavage and the submissive tagline ‘my lord’.
Well, seems British blogger Bruce Everiss decided to have [...]

Some people don’t get how the internet works. No matter how much they use it, who they talk to or what they read, the internet remains beyond their grasp of comprehension.
Liskula Cohen and Rosemary Port are two of these people.
Liskula Cohen is a socialite (I don’t know what else to call her) who runs around [...]

If you googled your name and using a standard Google search on the first page was a result from an anonymous blogger claiming you were a skank, would you care?
If you did care would you bother to start legal proceedings in an attempt to identify the anonymous blogger?
Recently Liskula Cohen who from what I gather [...]

About three and a half months ago Google’s Adsense team decided to venture out into the murky world of reader profiling. Prior to this Adsense had targeted content and based on what your particular page was about, would suitably deliver targeted ads to match.
Whilst this works great for written content sites, sites that contained other [...]

After I’ve read a blog post I can’t help but at least peruse through the comments, especially if it’s a guide or something I’ve found really useful.
If I’ve learnt anything from my own site it’s that sometimes no matter how in depth or complete you thought you’re coverage was on something, all it takes is [...]
