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 [...]
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 [...]
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’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.

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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
742,000 jobs were cut by US companies in March 2009, 200 of which were from Google’s advertising department. Today we have informed Googlers that we plan to reduce the number of roles within our sales and marketing organizations by just under 200 globally.
