Friday, January 20th, 2006


I'm soooo excited… This is amazing, I've just been informed the great 'A-HA' are doing a small gig the next week!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!! The A-Haa frenzy is driving Beth and I to dispair. It's going to be incredible. I can't bring myself to do any work now. Think I will waste a days hoilday all so I can sneak in early and get a good view - if it possible. OH MY GOD. So this will mean I will have seen all my favorite bands!?! The first time I heard a-Ha when I was about 9, It didn't seem possible I would ever see them, never mind meet them and see them. I AM SO EXITED!!! They are the bentest band in the whole wide world.

Comic strip A.L.P.

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Have a gander at this site. A web comic called Alien Loves Predator put together by Bernie Hou. It's a joke aimed at the Predator and Alien film franchises. The idea is rather than ripping each other throats out here they are bum buddies. The main character are Abe the Alien (socially inept, sex starve and impulsive) and Predator Preston who normally rational and a calming influence.

Changes are alway being put in googles algorithm. They have new rules designed to identify links that are being paid for and pervent them from passing page rank. So with this in mind what is the way forward for people selling text links?

So there are some simple things that reduce the risk the filter would pick up the link, to start with get rid of ‘advertisements' or ‘sponsored links' captions that are commonly above them. Another idea is to put the link within a paragraph alternatively place the link in the internal site navigation, at least ry to avoid sticking them in a easily identifiy able chunk.

Eat that frog!

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

I have just read a strange book on the recommendation by Alex our resident jazz singer. It's quite bizarre it's a kind of a stoner's time management book. However it has a strange magic to it, usually I can't stand this kind of book.

The core concept is incredible easy to grasp the frog is a direct metaphor for work, so the most painful the certain task is, the larger and warter the hopper is, the more difficult it would be to eat. It's easy to understand the core concept, if as soon as you get up is eat the largest and ugliest frog then pretty much everything else that day is going to be better. (more…)
