  • Overflow Launcher – Get it for free!

    If like me, you’ve tried using Quicksilver as an app launcher, you might benefit from using the Overflow Launcher by Stunt Software. It’s available for free through Macappaday today instead of the usual $14.95. I’m sure Quicksilver does a zillion…

  • And I would walk 500 miles…

    Nah, actually, I wouldn’t. And neither would they. But they’d walk 96 miles, they would! “They” are two newly married couples who will be walking 96 miles across the Scottish Highlands in May. The idea sprouted in October, and slowly…

  • Ugg boots to be "in" again this winter?

    I’m not exactly a fashionista myself, but I do like finding out from the likes of Gemma and Kat what the current fashion is all about. However, today I thought I’d take some tips from Heather Hopkins at Hitwise. According…

  • Akismet, the plugin no blogger should go without

    “Akismet has caught 16981 for you since you installed it.” Having a poke around my WordPress dashboard, I realised quite how hard Akismet has been working for me since I upgraded to WP2, many moons ago. Sometimes the best features…

    On a passing visit to London yesterday, I came across Art. Not a Monet, not a Warhol, and certainly not a Da Vinci. But I did see a Banksy with mine own little eyeballs! Somewhere between Kings Cross and Exmouth…

  • Del.icio.us replaces the shoutbox

    Small but lovely change made to the sidebar, you can now see my del.icio.us links. I pondered getting rid of the shoutbox and mentioned it to Andrew before going off to the pub on Friday lunch, and when I came…

  • A Meme – It's been a long time

    A blogger’s guilty pleasure, filling in a meme. I’ve got an immense backlog of things I want to post, as many personal ones as great marketing finds and business ideas. But it’s like having the choice between a double spiced…

  • Peps Media: Doing what we do best even better

    For the past few years, I’ve been thinking it’d be great to have my own business projects and work for myself. While I’m not there yet, we’ve taken our first steps towards it by setting up Peps Media, our own…
