Today at work we were discussing Search Engine Optimisation and wether or not search engines actually index content a long way down the page. I developed the “kottke matrix test-tube babies” test, this originated from me recalling a crazy post on Jason Kottke’s blog about the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies. These had a ridiculous […]
The whole concept of the no-follow tag is definitely interesting, it’s effectiveness is questionable and as far as comment spam goes, it hasn’t helped. (Thank God for Akismet) As far as it’s use in day to day operations of the web, it is somewhat un-spoken about, I have always thought that links that use the […]
Recent the Google Reader application has had a minor update, wherein when you are reading an individual feed using the spacebar key to scroll and you reach the end, it automatically takes you to the next feed. This is an awesome change and makes using this view far more useful.

Months ago I submitted my email address requesting an invitation to the hosted GMail beta. Hoping to move the email for my domain and the few users I have over to google mail’s hosting. Around the same time, I forwarded my work and personal email to my GMail account and it has been the nexus […]

Google has announced that they are using Intel’s new viiv technology with their Video offering. The blogs are abuzz with Engadget, Gizmodo and Ars Technica featuring news of it and speculating that they are taking on Apple.
