I remember it as MakeWords.com, a useful site which would usually suck hours of my life away showing me domain names I didn’t originally know I wanted/needed. It would usually come up with the results though, providing me with a decent domain for a new project or site. So when I wanted to dial in [...]

Hackers wrecking your shared host account? Check your Website Portfolio Integrity
10 days of perpetual issues with hackers. 10 DAYS. 100+ sites bombed randomly between every 5 minutes and 5 hours and that’s only after proper detection, who knows how far it had gone before. But from the relentless irritation some positives developed, if you are in the (precarious) position of hosting LOTS of websites on [...]

Grab Tabs – Get chromium urls in a list
Long story short there is a bunch of extensions for chrome/chromium which provide you with session management and tab control but frankly none of them do exactly what I wanted so I have fudged a solution by using session manager and writing a 5 minute extension: Grab Tabs. Somehow it seemed easier to write an [...]

Filter bubbles – Will tomorrow see the transparent equation of you?
A good ted talk from Eli Pariser on what he calls Filter Bubbles: He has presented on a growing phenomena which we should all be more aware of, the algorithmic manipulation of digital feeds of information, our “personal web” that I would suggest the majority is oblivious to.

Google BigQuery and Predictions API – Swap data for processing time?
Something led me to happen across the following video from google I/O 2010 which gives a full expo (57 minutes) on their BigQuery and Prediction API’s. You can see they have made a lot of ground with ridiculous processing, claiming to be able to run SQL queries (or a derivative) on trillion’s of rows in [...]

Unpublished May and June 2010
Hey blog, it’s been a while eh? Hows things? May was a month of brick lane curries, a new art exhibition (silent city), mini golf and a bunch of other blurry stuff. June was a good month (on the whole apart from hackers and google caffeine?!?), did incalculable amounts of coding, new site rollouts, tennis, [...]

Javascript in Spreadsheets? – Google Apps Script Does that
Far from being a google promoter, I do like this. Google Apps Script opens up google spreadsheets to scripting – Just like Macro’s etc in Excel, but with Javascript. This effectively opens up a world of online data processing and analysis that would have not been easily possible within a browser before hand, especially suiting [...]
