YouTube Hasn’t Been “Hacked”
YouTube is currently off the air. Several people are citing a blog post describing the issue as youtube.com being the victim of DNS poisoning. However, this simply ain’t the case.

Microsoft and Novell == MAN Love?
After Microsoft and Novell‘s announcement that they are to start collaboration on tighter integration between Windows and (admittedly SuSE) Linux, there has been a lot of bollocks kicking around from people squealing “this will be bad“, “this will be really bad“, “oh no, it’s the end of the world as we know it“, and so…

Nigritude Ultramarine
Nigritude Ultramarine — because Anil told me to. Clearly Nigritude Ultramarine has a lot to offer the world, but I’m sure it won’t be long before George Bush bans it! Ah, playing with SEO, gotta love it. However … as much as I hate to indulge SEO tactics … Nigritude Ultramarine is clearly something we…

Scottish Blogs Updated
Looks like the Scottish Blogs site been updated. Funny, I was just looking at nyc bloggers and thinking, “we should really have something like that … hang on, didn’t Gordon McLean [who runs Scottish Blogs] say something about setting up our version of that?” Lo and behold, after making a bit of clicky, I was…
