Hapland Walkthrough
Monday 28th February 2005
Looking for the Hapland 2 walkthrough? A friend and I played Hapland, an extremely complex but enjoyable animated flash game, for well over an hour. However, we got stuck around half-way / three-quarters of the way through and required some assistance. The…National Rail Farce
Friday 25th February 2005
The public transport within the UK, specifically rail service (run by National Rail now), is absolutely, completely, totally and utterly useless. The atrocious service, lack of convienience and terrible comfort conditions coupled with the ever soaring cost of travel makes me wonder why anyone uses the UK public transport system. As you may tell…Suprise Google Rankings
Wednesday 23rd February 2005
After checking my log stats a little more carefully last night I stumbled on a few nice google queries that return a page on my website on the first page. These queries aren’t extremely restricted, such as to include “Trovster” or “Trevor Morris” nor are they quoted. So the results are what people might actually search for — and proved by the…Firefox Extensions
Tuesday 22nd February 2005
I’ve always been interested in making a Firefox extension and I even have a few ideas I’d like to see made, whether by me or someone else. Well, today I have come across a nice little site that discusses firefox extension development. The site, Roachfiend.com, is fairly new, only started in December 2004, but has quite a few small extensions…Advertisers Winning
Monday 21st February 2005
I think that 2004 was the year of the popup stopper application. Everyone and their grandmothers now know of this application and as its title implies, what it does. IE now has a built in popup stopper, however there were many programs already out there which could be used in conjunction with the browser to block these adverts. Then there is…Internet Explorer 7 Announced
Tuesday 15th February 2005
According to the Microsoft Internet Explorer Weblog Microsoft are going to release another version of IE for XP users. This is contrary to what was issued before, stating that to use IE7 you’d have to buy Longhorn; Microsoft’s up coming sequel to XP. Reports state that we can expect betas of IE7 in the “summer”. Blake Ross who featured on…Loved Up Google
Monday 14th February 2005
I knew the changing of the Google logo to some Valentines theme was inevitable (I think I’ve been influenced by Agent Smith after watching the Matrix the last two nights!)… But this just caught my eye, Gmail getting themed up aswell… I wonder if they is going to be an archive of all of the Gmail logos like there is for Google’s…The Postman Forgot Me…Again!
Monday 14th February 2005
Another year and another slip by the postman it seems. My mail always seems to get mislaid on the 14th of February for some unknown bizarre reason. I’m just sorry I’ll never actually be able to read all the lovely Valentine’s Day cards you send out, it’s not my fault. Honest. Actually, Valentine’s Day is just another commerical celebration…Everyone’s Ranting
Saturday 12th February 2005
Hakon Lie of the Opera web browser has sent a rather interesting email to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft fame. The email complains about Microsoft’s statement on interoperability and continues to rant about IE. Every web developer wants Internet Explorer’s handling of CSS to be fixed because, if you’ve ever tried to develop a complex site for it,…Are You Away?
Friday 11th February 2005
Every get the feeling you should be away from the computer doing something exciting…Dailies
Friday 11th February 2005
You may or may not have noticed that there is new section to the site — code named “Dailies”. This is where you will find links to a huge variety of sites from all corners (does the web have corners?) of the web. Every day (well that’s the plan) new links that I come across and I find interesting, funny, strange or useful will be posted…Yahoo! Firefox Extension
Thursday 10th February 2005
Yahoo! have announced a beta release of a toolbar extension for Firefox. This is similar to the one which has been available for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer for a long while now. Maybe this doesn’t mean anything but I think it signifies something at least. An extension by a large, well-know, respected internet company, which has a large…All About Bloglines
Wednesday 9th February 2005
Bloglines is an online RSS aggregator which is used daily by thousands of people from all over the world. The content available on this service is astonishing. Any website which uses RSS feeds to deliver content can be added to someone’s “reading list” for continuous updates on the websites latest content. As soon as the author publishes new…Google Finds WMD
Wednesday 9th February 2005
Google have released a map service called - you’ll never guess - Google Maps. You can use it to search for certains things and it’ll give you the locations. Arve Bersvendsen has used Google’s new service to find what everyone has been looking for. Weapons of Mass Destruction… and you guessed it, they were in America all along! How ‘bout…MSN Messenger Down
Tuesday 8th February 2005
It seems like MSN Messneger is having a lot of problems recently. It went down last night and now it is down again. This is extremely frustrating when you can’t quickly, effectively and freely get a message to someone, even if they’re just across town. I’ve found MSN to be perfect for general chit-chat or simply organsing get-to-gethers….IPod Envy Fix
Tuesday 8th February 2005
So the writings continue on everything iPod. They’re not very scientific or reviews or anything that might actually be use to most people. Though I hope people might find some of it funny. Here’s another weird site in the iPod world - Paper iPod. Simply download the template of the iPod you want. Whether it be a nice new shiny Mini or an…IPod Vs The Cassette
Monday 7th February 2005
Seems like I’ll be writing about my iPod Mini for quite a while as I’ve got nothing better to say. Today, try and decide which is better, an iPod or a cassette. You may not think it’s a tough decision but a website has experiemented with the two hugely different audio devices which comes to unexpected conclusion. No Name No Slogan labs tests…Griffin ITrip Mini
Sunday 6th February 2005
The Griffin iTrip Mini is the first accessory that I’ve purchased for my Apple iPod Mini. It is an FM transmitter which allows you to broadcast your iPod Mini songs over the airwaves to any FM radio or receiver. The main reason I’ve got this little device, and I can tell you I was surprised how small it was, was for listening to my iPod…50 Invites
Friday 4th February 2005
It was mentioned a couple of days ago about Gmail increasing available invites dramatically after there being a shortage of late. Today I just noticed that they’ve moved the invites box again and that I’ve got 50 invites compared to the five I’d had for a while. If anyone wants one, I’m sure I’ve got more than plenty to go around (especially…Here’s Johnny!
Thursday 3rd February 2005
Well, not quite Johnny, but I’m back does that count? Hopefully you should notice a few changes around here. Ok, here’s what’s new, from the plainly obvious to the not so noticeable: a new design! (well durr) sort by category in the archives. comments for each post (you’ll have to add to them!) improved search function with post…
