If you do any business via the web using your own PC then like it or not, data security is something that is going to concern you sooner or later.

Walking out of the cinema after watching 300 last night, I didn’t exactly know what to think. I was both impressed and disappointed. Yes, the movie was a visual orgy (or ‘vorgy’), but character development and dialogue wise it could have been cooked up by a preschool kid.
It was a ‘manly’ movie, but at the [...]

I can’t take any credit for this one, it comes courtesy of Wormbrains blog. That dude has taught me so much!
Take today for instance. I was reading his blog when I stumbled across this revelation. MacGyver’s first name was Angus!

When the credits started to roll at [...]

Big news for insomniacs. Apparently the 2007 Infomercial Season is coming up! I guess that there are probably people out there that cannot get enough infomercials in their TV diet. Not many, but I’m sure there are a few. If your truly addicted then you’ve probably scoured YouTube, but then, if your addiction is dragging [...]

Just finished watching season two of Prison Break. Looking back, there was a damn lot of action in the second season, with the con’s taking in exotic locations in the US, Canada, Mexico and Panama. The conspiracy was blown wide open, and a shadowy puppet master with a post-it note fetish was introduced. Holly Valance [...]

Did that get your attention? PayPerPost may not have acquired Yahoo, but they have announced that the acquisition of something. The identity of their newly acquired company remains a mystery, but speculation is rife.
Perhaps this is the first step in expanding PayPerPost’s network to include other forms of online ads? Perhaps they’ll have bought up [...]

I was eating my fruit salad and surfing the web at lunch time when I stumbled across this Technorati Favorites train. Basically, I couldn’t resist jumping aboard, so here it goes. “Toot toot!”
For the record (and scientific purposes), prior to jumping aboard my Technorati stats were:
Rank: 111,499 (119 links from 40 blogs)
It will be interesting [...]

When boredom strikes, I often visit Google Analytics to check up on what has been happening in the world of Swollen Pickles. Today I thought I would post the ten pages that have received the highest number of unique visits over the past 30 days. You could argue that the following posts are the cream [...]
