About a year ago I followed all the other geeks and nerds in this world and bought myself a netbook. I’d seen the hype and exposure they got over on Engadget throughout 2008 and made up my mind that I wanted one Incase you are still not sure what a netbook is, it’s like a mini laptop, reduced keyboard size, very low technical specifications and very, very cheap for what it is. As you...

I do like musicals. See. There, I said it. And I don’t care (actually, I do care a little bit, so please don’t judge me!). There was a time when I could recite every word from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (except the boring love song in the middle of course). I think one of the first musicals I was taken to see was Star Light Express down in London. I remember how myself and my younger brother...

An old staff member was putting on a bit of an Am-Dram production at her college. She asked if I wanted to come along, so how could I refuse? Armed with my fellow culture vulture (also a Brit) we got tickets and waited with intrepidation. That’s until I found out the play was about women empowerment. I then looked forward to it with a certain amount of dread, convinced I would come out at the...

Well, this is not exactly a review, more my thoughts on the movie which I saw the other day. Crammed around a little laptop. In the west, the movie seems to have had an overwhelming response. Loads of awards, nominated for oscars…all sorts. In India, the reception has been, umm, a little different and possibly less than positive. About the movie, it’s a good film, well made. It’s...

I never win anything. Even if I enter a competition where everyone’s a winner. I’d come last. It’s something I’ve learned to accept and get on with. However, that all changed this morning when I received a text message from GameMobile.co.uk informing me that my recent review of the Lemmings Return game for mobile phones had won the monthly contest and my prize was a free game....

I’ve never been a good blogger, I always find it difficult to consistantly post new blogs, no matter how trivial or small blogs can be these days. However, recently I’ve been taking an increased interest in blogs and how they can drive traffic to my sites and earn money. I am developing my own ideas and have just had a project done for me on Scriptlance which aims to further these ideas....

My friend bought a new laptop the other day after his old died on him (shows a blank white screen on startup – anyone have any ideas?). So he toddled off to the local PC World to have a look at the laptops. I seem to remember a time a few years ago where desktop PC’s took up the floor space and laptops were confined to one or two rows. Now laptops dominate the floorspace. While browsing...

This is a continuation of the post I made on 26th June which you can read about here. I’m carrying on by explaining what I think is wrong with the GoDaddy website, interface and ordering process. Messy & Confused Website In an attempt to offer every internet service under the sun, the GoDaddy website is mishmash of information. Assume you want to purchase a domain name. You assume they are...

GoDaddy is the largest registrar of domains according to WebHosting.info with over 18m domains registered and nearly 21% market share (Disclaimer: I couldn’t find another source to back up this data or when it was valid from so take it with a pinch of salt). Given that they have such a massive market share and are the dominant force in domain names, why can’t they provide a half decent...

When it comes to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) I’m a bit of a self confessed SEO nerd. I check all the latest techniques, tips and pointers that are thrown by the gurus of SEO – I have folders overflowing with SEO articles that I print out. I check every tool and every bit of software. I’m even subscribed to goodness knows how many SEO newsletters. Now there are some decent freebie...
