500 - It’s so not the magic number

Posted at 11:42am UTC

500 is now officially the most annoying, most useless, and more stressful number of them all. Why? Because when you get a 500 HTTP status code, it screws up everything… Which is made even worse when you try to take a weekend off, and that’s when it pops up…

Go away Daddy, I’m riding on a Black knight!

Posted at 3:43pm UTC

Phew, the past few days have been very hectic and quite stressful… Moving hosting provider has never been a nice scenario for me, especially given how many times I’ve had to do it before, but at least now I’ve moved for the very ****ing last time! Since it was such an experience, it needs a full post :)

Too much, even for me?

Posted at 8:47pm UTC

I do sort of feel like I’m being overwhelmed with things, lately. Although it does seem to all be on the “online” front. RSS news articles spewing out of the inbox, more and more forums to check and post on, and an ever-increasing amount of tweets to check up with! I do feel as if I’m getting maybe slightly in over my head here…

Sending out the search parties

Posted at 1:33pm UTC

I just read elly’s latest post about how the new search engine Cuil, is a little “wrong in the head” when it comes to ordering search results. So I decided to give it a shot myself, just to see what it’s like for me.

Me and the Irish blogosphere

Posted at 5:17pm UTC

When I first started my site/blog/things, I knew it was really going to be a niche market, that would probably only been seen by gaming friends. A site was was like a plankton in the big sea of general blogs. However, a year and a half has passed, and I feel that I’ve grown to be a small carp in the small pond that is the Irish blogosphere.

What in the name of heck…?

Posted at 2:11am UTC

Alright, the past 12 hours really haven’t been nice for me. Unexplained site goings-down are not nice at all. Especiall when you come back in a bit to find it still not working. And again, and again, and again.

Twitter - Spam or… well, not spam?

Posted at 6:09pm UTC

Twitter. Is it really being used for what it was originally intended - to post short, 140-character messages letting people know what you’re up to? Or, have the spambots got to it…

Let sleeping domains die

Posted at 12:43am UTC

If a site dies, it really should be left for dead. Reviving it won’t last for very long. It’s time to leave H3L for dead and instead focus on real life. Or on some new ideas ;)

.htaccess hacking

Posted at 4:08am UTC

300 page-views in 3 hours, all happening within 3 seconds of each other, from the same IP from two different user-agents? Alright, something is up here - let’s block it as a precaution…
