Today I rolled out the new theme I’ve been working on recently. It’s not even close to being perfect, but layout wise I’ve blocked out space for where I want everything to go. Design wise I need to work on things some more as it’s looking a little plain at the moment. Functionally it seems [...]

Zombie movies. Is there, or will there ever be, a greater genre? Any answer other than no is incorrect. On the weekend, I watched a zombie movie that has forced me to re-assess my top 5 zombie movies of all time. Hence this list.
This list may be contentious, heck it caused me some inner conflict, [...]

I was up Monday night watching ABC2 and Dr Who was on. When I was a young’un I used to watch Dr Who when it was on ABC regular, in the days when it starred Tom Baker, the guy who does the voice over for Little Britain.
Anyway, the production values on Dr Who have [...]

A bad affiliate program is one that does everything in its power to make you feel like you’ve just paid a visit to an alcoholic, sausage fingered, proctologist.
In the good old days Commission Junction were quite good to me. I was doing reasonably well with them, largely on the back of their relationship with eBay. [...]

For those of us unable to make it to Germany for Oktoberfest I may have stumbled across the next best thing… Brewfest. One minor problem though, it’s in Azeroth, so you’re going to need a World of Warcraft account.
Once you’ve got that sorted, head to the beer garden outside the dwarven capital city Iron Forge. [...]

The one thing I really love about looking after a website is checking out the visitors statistics. Since the dawn of the pickle, people have found many weird and unusual ways to make their way here, and to date, 2009 has proven to be no exception. Here are ten of the more bizarre search terms [...]

It’s common knowledge that World of Warcraft is crack for nerds, which is why this video is so LOL I think it caused me to LMAO. I actually think this scene may well have played out, somewhere out there in the real world. Pause for thought while I got AFK.

If you are in, or around, Melbourne this weekend you may want to head down to Federation Square for the global launch of the latest driving game for the iPhone. Unlike a lot of iPhone applications doing the rounds at the moment, the CityGT game is available for free.
In what is being billed as a [...]

For some reason this afternoon I started singing “Cities of Gold”, my own interpretation of the “Mysterious Cities of Gold” theme song. Raise your hand if you watched Cities of Gold as a kid… Cities of Gold was one of my favorite cartoons from the 80’s. It was set in the 1500’s and followed the [...]

Raise your hand if you remember the 1980’s cartoon Silverhawks… Even though it wasn’t the longest running series in history, it still occupies a special place in my heart. As a young fella, I wanted to be able to sprout metal wings and fly. Amateur psychologists can make of that what they will.
For those unfamiliar [...]

I’m currently investigating a number of options for setting up a basic e-commerce site. My first inclination was to try and push the limits of WordPress. There are a number of shopping cart plugins that I could use to make it happen, however, recently I’ve discovered another open source e-commerce solution, Magento.
The advantage that Magento [...]
