Goals for 2010
I’ve put a post up on my personal blog detailing my goals for 2010 and this post will expand on some of the ideas I’ve had for the work goal.
The core of the goal is to create more freedom. Freedom to do what I want to do. Freedom to work when and how I want [...] -
Facebook gets something right
A new phishing attack against Facebook has surfaced recently using the domain fbaction.net. Whenever I see these things I always reset my browser and try signing in with fake details to see what happens. In this case I got a nice surprise. When I got redirected to Facebook I got this…

Regional Limitations
It’s 5am and I can’t sleep. When this happens I usually fire up Boxee and find something to watch, so that’s what I did. I was happy to see that since the last time I used it Boxee appear to have added a bunch more internet sources, which is great. However, the following 15 minutes [...]

MacHeist – Less than 3 days left to get your bargain bundle
When I first came across the MacHeist Bundle offer I though it was too good to be true. The fact is that it’s a fantastic bargain. For the grand total of $49 you get 14 software packages that would normally cost just short of a whopping $500. If you’re only after two or three of [...]

That other bit of news
As I mentioned in my previous post there were other reasons as to why I have decided to shut SharedServer.net down, but I couldn’t say what they are. Well, I can now.
I have been recognised. Not in the “Oh look, it’s that Stut fellow” sort of way, but for my professional contributions to the world [...]Nov 19th, 2007 | Filed under Technology
