Well I have to say thanks to my hosting provider since they decided to up their storage limit on the server. With four of my sites, now I was pushing the 250 MB I get with Hosting 365, so now there is plenty of breathing room for more pictures etc!

Well, I don’t normally post up those quizzy type things but this one is pretty cool.

If you remember before Christmas I posted CD-WOW being sued by the IRMA. If you can cast your mind back to the CD-WOW facts page on the IRMA website, it said many things that were clearly libelous. So it was with great delight that I read yesterday that CD-WOW are now counter sueing the IRMA

It’s weird how the Internet works. In an interview, Matt Haughey mentioned that I had a PhotoBlog based on his Ten Years Of My Life project. So when I started getting referrers from the interview I obviously went to check it out, Matt mentioned that Nelson’s Weblog was one of his favourites so I ended up there and loved it too.

Yet again there seems to be a lot of posts around the place about MT Comment SPAM, Mezzoblue has taken to closing older posts, some people are getting hammered and others are writing guides to combat the scourge of comment spam.

We’ll I’m back! From where I hear you ask, well I went to Killarney with my girlfriend for most of the weekend. It was really great even if the weather wasn’t so good. I got loads of great photos though, as you can see it was cold and windy, which is why Evie is so well wrapped up! I’ll put up the photos either on the photo gallery or on the ever growing PhotoBlog

I covered refer log spam recently but this one was just too funny not to post on. Now the MPAA is spamming me!

I saw this entry in my refer log this morning. At the moment it’s on this page but it will move down the log quickly so I’ll copy the details here.

This is the best time of year for geeks like me. All the technology expos are on resulting in us having a week crammed full of keynote addresses and product launches like the iPod mini. Gizmodo are currently at CES where they have pictures of loads of amazing looking products.

The first news of the mini iPod came to me through Gizmodo who reported that Think Secret confirmed that Steve Jobs planned to release a new line of smaller iPods at MacWorld this month. Now with MacWorld happening very soon, I thought I’d collect my thoughts on the whole thing.

This is extremely odd. I was looking in my refer logs for the new rugby site I’m starting, when I saw an odd referal. It said joe2004.com, now this was extremely odd to me, becuase a refer is generated when someone comes to your site from another site by clicking on a link. Since I’ve never been to Joe Lieberman’s site, it was highly unlikely that there would be a link to my new rugby site!
