Domains
If you follow me on Twitter you’ll be aware that I’ve recently moved my hosting over to (mt). I made the move after hearing from so many people how great the service was and for $20 a month it was cheap as chips and being a student the less it costs the better.
With it being so cheap I thought I’d even celebrate the occasion by buying myself a domain name. Thankfully AlexOlder.com was available so for $5 I got hold of it and set all my (mt) stuff up under it. This brought the number of domains I own up to a grand total of 9. It’s ok though, 1 of them is for a friend’s site I designed and offered to host and another is for the girlfriend’s University society.
Spore
Hype’s been building up for a while now about Spore, the latest creation from Will Right who brought us the Sims.
This isn’t a huge blog on it just a quick chance to show off my creations below…
Sweetcron & Chrome
Time for some views on a couple of little apps that have appeared recently.
First off is Sweetcron, every wanted to be able to update twitter, or flickr and have your blog updated too? If so then Sweetcron might be for you.
Sweetcron is a light weight blogging app like WordPress (but a hell of a lot lighter) which will also pull in your RSS feeds from other web apps like twitter or flickr and update your home page. The idea is it’s an Automated Lifestream pulling in all your updates to one place so you don’t have to post the same thing on flickr and then also post it to your blog.
Although things like Flickr allow you to post to your blog from flickr you always run the risk of mucking up styles and layouts of your blog as Sweetcron works off your RSS feed it can stlye the items with it’s styling and not risk pulling any odd bits off bad CSS.
