QuickURL (TM)
TinyURL is great. It’s a wonderful service that replaces a really, really long URL, with an itty-bitty URL. For those of us who live online in IM, IRC and forums, it makes life a lot easier. But. (There’s always a … Continue reading

:(
Even though it has been reported in many places, I couldn’t fail to mention this. The mighty (in character, not stature) Matthew Revell has departed from the LugRadio team. He’s been there since the beginning, and the show will not … Continue reading
Procrastination vs Excitement
Not much of a battle, really. I was sitting at work today, contemplating doing some “proper” work for once, but in the end I decided on something completely different. For the last 2 years, in the run-up to the mighty … Continue reading

Ok – so things might not look any different, but (yet again) we have moved hosting companies. We’ve waved farewell to WebHosting.uk.com and moved over to Dreamhost. The main reason for the move is cost – for only a little … Continue reading
