New site idea

December 30th, 2005 | Life

I’m toying with an idea for a new site that’s basically along the line of Lieing News. It’s like an entertainment news blog except all the stories on it are complete BS. It’s so much earier than reporting real news. Actually it’s harder as you can’t just copy it off MSNBC and it needs to be a little funny, but still.

Server offerings

December 30th, 2005 | Life

A while ago I upgraded my VPS to a better package but the problem is, it’s still packed out. My server just can’t handle the traffic. So I’ve been looking around for something better. The best I have found so far is Steadfast Networks.

They offer a 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 Processor, 1 GB memory, 120 GB hard drive, cPanel / WHM dealie for $165 a month with an hour of management time although it’s an extra $75 a month for the ultra management dealie where basically they will do pretty much everything you want other than coding your websites.

MP3.com’s footer

I know CNet like big footers but this is going too far.

Play.com’s sale is bullshit

December 27th, 2005 | Life

As much as I love Play.com’s prices I think their attitude is total bullshit. I decided to head over to have a browse through their “biggest ever sale.” I noticed they had Curb Your Enthusiasm boxsets listed so I decided to check them out as I love Curb.

The new “biggest ever sale” price? £11.99. That’s the normal price! They are always priced £11.99 on Play.com. It’s not a special offer at all.

I’m back!

December 27th, 2005 | Life

Well I’m back from my skiing trip. I have major catch-up to do with my emails, celeb news sites, entertainment blogs, loads of stuff needs doing. Going to have to do some mad days soon but it’s not like I would be doing anything else anyway ;).

Check this out. A great way to get sued but who cares when it’s that funny :D.

The terror of Santa

I love browsing the internet and randomly bumping into amusing stuff. Like this. Gang Of Santa’s Terrorize New Zeland. What a wacky country.

Pace of the internet

December 19th, 2005 | Life

It’s well know that the technology industry is very fast paced and all, but is it? Well, yes. But then again with websites, everything moves a little slower. Because it takes time for websites to build up a reptuation, get into search engines, get back links, etc, things often have a much longer development period than it seems.

I’m often working on projects that won’t pay off until 6, 12 months down the line. For instance, my new blogs aren’t really going to start picking up on search engine traffic for months while the search engines get used to them and it will be years before they are fully trusted.

Sites on xmeltrut.com which I launched 6 months ago or even longer, maybe in 2004, are only really now starting to really pick up traffic.

Bill Gates, Time Persons of the Year

December 19th, 2005 | Life

Bill Gates, his wife Melinda and Bono from U2 have been named Time’s Persons of the Year. Pop Sugar have the cover image here. They claim it’s because of the work they did to help prevent AIDS but we all know it’s really because Time want to join Lord Gates before his clone army rises up and takes control of this world. Your either with us or against us.

The invasion is here

December 19th, 2005 | Life

My DVD arrived! I ordered Invasion of the Body Snatchers a little over a week ago (a week yesterday I think) but I had to get it imported from America as it was never released on region 2.
