Google Browser

This graphical Google browser lets you navigate around a map of the links - as recorded by Google - between sites - move from site to site and the map reorientates itself in a very groovy way. I'm hoping the reason that this site has no links - :o( - is that I've only been listed on Google for a week

Icon Story

It's tough out there for a small little icon out there on the mean streets of the desktop.

Link Feedback

Useful - and kind of nice - code/tool which links back to the last X referers for a web site. An immeadiate way to do reciprocal linking. The only trouble I can see is with referer spam - as it's all immeadiate with no editing stage there's a strong danger you could end up linking to pr0n from your homepage - which could lead to your web host kicking you off their servers. A shame really as it seems like a very good - and friendly - idea and I'd like to include the code myself at some point. Anyway an especially big thanks to lightningfield where I first saw this because I saw in my site stats that someone had linked into lazylaces using this very mechanism.

The Gravy Train

How IT consultants work so hard to earn their shedloads of cash in amusing Flash animation format - it's funny 'cause it's true - as the saying goes. I just don't understand why there aren't more websites poking fun at these blood sucking leeches - it's people like this that are the reason I and so many of my ex-colleagues got made redundant - all the money went on paying damn consultants for their 'top quality' ideas and implementing their unrealistic strategic systems.

As it turns out though I'm much happier in my new job now - so the last laugh is on them - while they drive their Porshes home to their luxurious mansions - doh!

*Rant* ends.

Wardrobe Monsters

Reassurance in case you're afraid of the wardrobe monsters - John Smiths & Peter Kaye at their best. All of the adverts are here on-line including 'top bombing' and one I haven't seen on TV - and I don't think I will - that made me raise my eyebrows just a tad.

Happy Birthday

One small switch for man, but one giant switch for mankind.com. The Internet celebrates it's 20th Birthday - sort off.

Strong Bad's Back

The return of Strong Bad - #56 - after the Christmas break. He doesn't mention Christmas but he must have done something since he went away for a week - I wonder what Mexican westlers do over the festive season? Perhaps I should mail him and find out.

1, 2, 3...

Found a good resource for free page counters & web stats from the homepage of NextGenStats which is probably shooting themselves in the foot really - but whatever. Started the trial at the bottom of the page to try and pick the best of the 3 leading contenders. The really good graphics and indepth reports really hightlight how much time I'm spending on this site - on my own. Oh well - I believe the addage goes - build and they shall come. I better get on with those SE submissions as well.

British Pathe News

Some of the oldest news reels around have become the first digital news archive. An absolute wealth of old news material which could be useful for research but is definately worth a view anyway for the often esoteric subjects - not to mention the proper Queen's English used throughout complete with silver spoon in mouth. What's more the low quality versions are all free to download - registration required.
