One of the issues I’ve wrestled with recently is what constitutes acceptable levels of advertising, the relative returns and how much is, well, too much.
With the introduction of the new design, a few things have changed - firstly,
Google Adsense is gone. The returns are truly minuscule unless one is receiving hits in the tens […]

So what do the words above represent?
Background

tags, rather than categories to organise content - this provides a dynamic content management system that allows for greater post and content relativity.
Use

Derek Punsalan.
I’ve found the ability to tuck recent comments, flickr and such up in the hidden top section great for reducing “clutter” - click on […]

It’s official -
dreamhost.com are really starting to piss me off.
If it’s not DNS servers keeling over (3 times in one month is a bit, well, off) then it’s the SAN.. if it’s not the SAN then it’s one of the many web hosting boxes failing. In the last week alone DNS has failed […]
