Yeah I know I seem to spend more time blogging about blog software than any other topic but I think the technology behind the concept is one of the more exciting aspects of this whole blog furore.

But in this instance I’ll make an exception.
A while ago I challenged you to name the feature film with the least credits and even went so far as to offer bonus points for the first person to spell the films title correctly.

Why? Well according to the NetGear website (which runs slow as a dog by the way … come on people your in the comms hardware market – get yourself a PHAT PIPE!*) I don’t have [...]

In typical form I’m posting rather than actually doing what’s required of me. And I’mm not doing what’s required of me because I have writers block. Actually that’s a hopeless excuse. I know that writers (and even designers) block can be a big problem to those who write for a living and I know I [...]
