Grand Theft Auto IV Has Problems – It Freezes
Blogs and forums are already aflame over Grand Theft Auto IV freezing during or after the opening cutscene. According to several rumours this happens on both Playstation3 and Xbox360, but not to every gamer.
Rockstar hasn’t officially confirmed the problem and there is no fix released yet.
Most of the crashes happens on Playstation3s with 60 Gb [...]
Disheartened? Don’t Throw In The Towel
You are really into something. So much so that perhaps your friends and family joke about your “obsession”, or ask why you aren’t making a career out of it. You know that for the majority of us, the quickest way to suck the fun out of something you love is to make it your job. [...]

How To Whip The Competition In Organic Search Results
You know what organic search results are, right? That’s the listing that comes up when a user types in some keywords into google’s search box. It differs from PPC campaigns, such as the intrusive adword ads you see in the sidebar.
Middle last year, I’ve been experimenting with ways to increase clicks on my organic results. [...]
Feedback: Expatriate Destinations
I’ve got 14 years left of raising kids and working for the man. I’m fortunate, in that I’ll be able to retire at a relatively young 56, hopefully before I’m all used up. More and more my thoughts about what that life will be like have switched from a quiet, pastoral rural retirement, with the [...]

Impress Her With That Dazzling Ambience
It takes a lot to impress women these days. The average guy cringes at the thought of taking a date home to his crib. Oohhh …. is that a cheesy sock over there? What’s that sticking out the bed? Ugghh a mouse! And those piles of dishes! Way back from the Jurassic period. Heck, I [...]
Who Do You Fring?
Applications for the Apple iPhone aren’t taking up the internet bandwidth and space. Actually only one company have developed an VoIP (Voice over IP) application, the Israelian company fring.

Anti-Leech Plugin Messed Up My Feed – Apologies
I recently installed the Anti-Leech WordPress plugin. It worked fine on two of my other sites, but messed up the main feed on this site. I have turned it off until I work out why – apologies to anyone who’s been more gibberish than usual over the last two days!

Mine Is a Lot Bigger Than Yours
Don’t get jealous, but mine is a lot bigger than yours. My WordPress Dashboard that is. Thanks to the Admin Big Width WordPress plugin I’ve solved the annoying way that WordPress 2.5 uses bigger monitors.
For some reason the WordPress Dashboard header and footer has a flexible width, but the main body is limited at 1024 [...]
AntiLeech WordPress Plugin: Stop RSS Splogs In Their Tracks
