Did you know Google own Googlesucks.org ?

.. and Googlesucks.net. I amazes me how many companies own their own name with sucks on the end, Ubuntu have it (ubuntusucks.com) and so do loads of other sites. I can’t see why they do it, because the only benefit it seems to offer is that the creation of a hate-site might be averted.

Moving Around, Servers and Shiz

Hi Everyone
I’ve just finished the move for GPearce, I’ve changed the layout of the site slightly (URL locations) and similar, and moved it onto a more powerful server with BizStreet, alongside my other sites :)
Sorry for the downtime, every site I have went down in the few hours, but it was the minimum I could [...]

Some ‘Tards Hacked Me!

Some group attacked my website :(
Not this one, thankfully, but there was an attack on a *previously unknown* vulnerability on my website, caused by Wordpress’s auto installer making a wp-config file with permissions 666, which enabled it to be attacked, apparently.

I think it’s taken on a new shinyness, which is really cool :) Ubuntu trumps the Vista [...]

Free Giveaway Stuff and Suchlike :)

This isn’t strictly a blog post, it’s more me giving stuff away. I’ll go from the start :P
I bought a massive reseller package on eBay, purely because it was the cheapest way to get what I wanted, a single eBook. I don’t do reselling, but as I have some special rights over this “tonnes of [...]
