My baby is three years old today. Not baby in the normal sense, but in the sense of something I created with the help of handful of friends which has grown into a gaming home/hub for hundreds of people who I like to think of as my friends (I’ve certainly met some great people over [...]

The frustrations of SEO and being leashed
Posted: 30th July 2010 by By Adrian Willings in SEOTags: keyword, search engine optimisation, seo
Part of my job involves SEO of our company website. There’s only two problems – I’m not allowed to touch the actual pages of the keywords we’re actually targeting and Google is an ass. We just dropped down 2 places on the first page of Google for our main keyword phrases. Which is of course [...]

Another handy Google Chrome extension. Screen capture tool, nice and handy I currently use a similar tool in Firefox called (rather aptly) “Screen Grab” this is the alternative for Chrome.

I don’t normally get suckered in by advertising

Russian teens served up with potatoes
Posted: 29th July 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: cannibals, goths, potatoes
Everyone knows potatoes are a little bit sinister. In fact, they’re evil and it’s easy to prove. Just look at this recent news story (thanks zombie) where Russian teens were slaughtered by Satanists and served with potatoes. The story itself is pretty sickening and not just because of the potato content. Just take a look at a [...]
Time wasters and breath takers

I’m not having much luck selling my car, which frankly is making me a little miserable. I loved that old thing and was sure with all the love I’d given it over the last year, someone else could easily love it just as much. We’ve had it up for sale for a couple of months [...]

Interesting discover through @mashable again today. A Firefox add-on which gives you alerts every time you are sending information to Google.

I don’t know much about life, but I know what I like. Ninja monkey pirates are instantly fetching. Can you tell I don’t have much to write about today?
