I’ve been teaching myself Magento themes as I’m planning on setting up my new websites, MJB PhotoArt and U-Scrap using Magento as the e-commerce CMS. So far, I’ve got the following handy links in no particular order. These are pretty much all that I’ve read so far and have helped me get my head around [...]
Overview Yahoo! Pipes is a composition tool that was released in February 2007 (n.d.) designed to aggregate, manipulate and mashup data from around the internet (n.d).

WPRex sells free WordPress themes on their website with almost 7,000 currently available. There are some quite unique templates available and the filter system is great for sorting through the themes (which is pretty important with that many available!). The majority of the themes are user submitted as well, with only 82 (at the time [...]
I haven’t come across these guys before, but was recently approached by them to write a short article about them. I figured why not? They provide an interesting service related to one of my fields of interest after all. After having a bit of a look through their website, it’s pretty obvious that they provide [...]

As you may have noticed, the upgrade to WordPress 2.6.5 has been completed successfully and all of the plugins have been reactivated. There was only one plugin that had an error and no new version, fortunately it was an unimportant one (so much so I don’t even remember what it was). I think while I’m [...]
I got the Cooler Master X Craft 250 (eSATA and USB) when I was planning the hard drive transplant for my Macbook Pro, and after my excellent experience with the Cooler Master X Craft 350 Lite, I was quite happy to get the baby brother, the 250 Lite and give it a try. The 250 [...]
It’s been a while, and how I’ve missed you my poor, neglected blog and readers, it’s been so empty without you. So what have I actually been doing for the past month? Yep, it’s been a month already! Or it would have been if I had waited two more days to write this, but I’m [...]
