Done With The Retards

January 26th, 2012 2 Comments

I’ve put my contact form back up for about a week and I’ve already lost count of the number of people contacting me looking for a Clickbank refund. Follow the link and look at the STOP notice, and people are still doing it! So at this point I’m done with this, some people are just too thick. From now on everybody who uses my contact form to ask for a Clickbank refund will find their exact e-mail added to this post for people to laugh at. Whatever details you include in your request to this website (that has nothing to do with Clickbank) are getting published. With any luck this may help people think twice.

Google, Cancer And Affutd

I’m not a million miles away from the point where I say fuck this for a laugh and go and look for a simpler life elsewhere. I see that in the last month Google have started to fuck about with peoples businesses once again, it’s worth noting that the last time they decided to make major changes to their “non commercially orientated” search algorithm that their quarter profits jumped massively. Never mind the huge number of people who were made unemployed as a result of Googles tweaking (some would say in favour of their own services, as many as 10% of people involved in SEO style jobs lost them according to some surveys). Fuck ‘em! Think of it in terms of motorway signs, you wouldn’t give a company free run to put signs up everywhere on a public highway if it also happened to own a number of service stops. Fair competition? Screw that, those signs are always going to favour their own service stops and that’s the position our wonderful governments have allowed Google to occupy over the world wide web. When they were just a search engine they were great, now they compete as a destination for search traffic it’s screwed up and it’s wrong. It might not be in my life time but the big heavy hard backed book will end up being thrown at them and I will laugh.

Google+ Invite

Has anybody got a Google+ invite going spare? The more I hear about it the more curious I get to give it a go for myself.

If anybody has a spare invite going I’d really appreciate it.

Cheers.

Google Preloading Pages

June 16th, 2011 0 Comments

According to this report over on the BBC website Google have started to preload pages from their search results. What this means to the average webmaster is a massive increase in server load and bandwidth usage. I wonder who is going to pay for it?

Governments Are Dickheads

I’ve spent a large portion of the last month working on a new project. Besides the hours I’ve put in (which I think my wife would agree have been enormous) I’ve actually invested a fair wedge of cash into it as well.

WordPress Categories Limit

February 3rd, 2011 3 Comments

Have you ever thought to yourself “I wonder what the maximum number of categories I’m allowed in WordPress is?” I have and when you search the web you normally get some sort of smarty pants answer like “there is no limit” or “there is a limit, it depends on the type used for the index field in the database” (OK that second one only comes from programmers). What people actually want to know is, what is the practical limit for categories in WordPress, I’ve got the answer.

Xbox 360 F1 2010 Steering Wheel

Love is all around, famous song by Wet Wet Wet, they were rubbish! Stuff love, more importantly there is a little something called “opportunity”, opportunity is all around as well. Opportunity is great. On the 24th of this month the first multi-format Formula 1 game in a long long time is going to be released, it goes by the name of F1 2010. With this title comes some massive opportunities to make good money online, an opportunity born out of a massive demand that isn’t being met.

Holidays, Fishing And Backlinks

September 3rd, 2010 0 Comments

As befits somebody of my status (don’t laugh) I was off jet setting around the world once again last month. OK, maybe I lied a bit, but we did take a weeks break in Benidorm Spain. On top of that I came home to the best weather we’ve had all summer so it was time for some serious boat fishing action, all in all it’s been a very “busy” couple of weeks. I’m glad I don’t have a normal job slaving away for the man.
