New WordPress 2.0 Theme – See What’s New
Update: I had to pull this theme as it was killing my server. Old one back in place for now.
I’ve only had this blog for three weeks and already I’m on my second theme, but I think this one is hear to stay as I think it is pretty unique and looks very clean. [...]
WordPress Plugin Overload!
I thought Akismet was a good WordPress plugin for fighting blog spam, but yesterday I installed one that is even better. Rather than catching spam and putting it in a spam folder, Bad Behavior is a set of PHP scripts which prevents spambots from even accessing your site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and [...]
Guide To Optimizing WordPress Servers
After moving hosts for some reason my WP-Cache2 plugin stopped caching pages and I couldn’t work out why, so I’ve spent the last couple of hours looking for alternatives as I wanted to make sure I don’t get into trouble again with my new host, even though I have a VPS now rather than a [...]
Adults Not Allowed: Ringtones That Only Kids Can Hear
I was just catching up with my feed reading and I came across an interesting story in The Times earlier this week. A UK inventor has created a ’silent’ ringtone that only kids can hear. The ringtone emits a high frequency signal that only kids can hear. Adults can’t hear the ringtone [...]
New Contender For Best WordPress Plugin: Landing Pages
Sometimes I think there are far too many WordPress plugins to cope with and that some of them have no real practical use, but I’ve just discovered a true gem in Landing Sites, which improves the chances that visitors from search engines will find what they want on your blog and will also read more [...]
My First Week With WordPress: 10 Plugins That I Can’t Live Without
I’ve been using WordPress for one week now and I’m really glad that I moved as it has exceeded my expectations. I think what WordPress does well is provide a platform that supports novice users, but also offers the flexibility to allow more advanced users to personalise their experience.
Although out of the box it [...]

New Design
I’ve decided that the move from Blogware to Wordpress is now complete. So, what do you think of the new site? There are a lot of new features to try out:
Automatic popularity calculation for posts and pages, and a list of the most popular pages
See how many views each post has, and also a [...]
Finally Completed The Move To Wordpress From Blogware
I’ve finally ‘finished’ the move from Blogware to WordPress and the end result is a lot better than I’d hoped and the DNS propagation is nearly finished I think, as the site is becoming more active by the hour. I was determined to do the move on my own and I ‘almost’ managed.
It’s not [...]
Can Anyone Help Me ReDirect My Old Blogware Posts?
The nameserver redirection seems to have (surprisingly) gone without a hitch. The major problem I have though is that my .htaccess redirect doesn’t seem to be working, and rather than old external links like ^blog/_archives/2005/10/18/1307475.html redirecting to ^/2005/10/18/ i.e the day the post was made (that’s the best I can achieve for now – [...]
Connected Internet Is Moving!
Click here to see the new site (still WIP)!
I’m in the process of moving the blog to WordPress. Hopefully this will be completed by the end of the weekend. This version will still be operational so no comments will be lost, but the new site is now live at the new address (its [...]
Moving From Blogware To Wordpress
After a little bit over a year with Blogware, I’ve decided to move this blog to Wordpress. I’ve been more than happy with Blogware and I’d still recommend Blogware to anyone who wants a simple hassle-free blog, but over the last couple of months or so I’ve been getting a bit uncomfortable with the [...]

Brits Slow To Adopt Mobile Internet
It’s a shame, that despite the fanfare surrounding the launch of 3G, only one in ten Brits actually use mobiles to access the internet. I think TechDigest have summed up one of the key reasons why mobile internet adoption in the UK is so low:
“Brits are just too cynical about excessive data charges to [...]
SMS 007 – Encrypt Your SMS Messages
A new SMS encryption service is now available. The service has been developed by CircleTech, s.r.o., a Czech software corporation. The Java (J2ME) application, which can run on majority of current mobile phones, uses encryption standard AES and user-derived keys to securely encrypt the SMS communication between parties which use it.
SMS 007 has been [...]
3G Adult Video Chat Service
I guess it had to happen sometime – I’m kind of surprised it’s taken so long, given that it is estimated that up to 40% of premium mobile content is for adult services ‘to go’.
3OOOH in Spain have just launched the first adult video chat service where customers can dial a premium number for a [...]
Watch TV With Your Mobile And Get Fined £1000
I passed by a Vodafone store today which had a poster advertising Sky TV packages for mobile phones from £5pm, which struck me as a very good deal if you wanted to watch Sky on the cheap.
Well, this may prove to a be a false economy as apparently you will need a TV licence to [...]
