Twitter: PS3F members edition

March 28, 2009 – 5:59 pm

Once upon a long time I’ve made it my mission to convert everyone I knew in real life and on the internet to using Twitter and I was more or less successful. Less successful in the case of the PS3Forums.com members and only a handful of them used Twitter, but in the last couple of [...]

Internet Commenter Business Meeting

December 6, 2007 – 8:26 am

Anyone who’s ever commented at a big internet forum or on an article will know these comments very well. Everything from ‘First’ to ‘gay’ to ‘n00b’ to spam and ‘pwned’. Even includes the Ipod Nano! This is NSFW. There is also a second part with LOLcats! Cat

How to display your Twitter status on your wordpress.com blog.

September 13, 2007 – 4:19 pm

It all started in the wordpress.com support forum in a thread that had been going for months in which people were asking for wordpress to support one of the shiny Twitter status badges.

Time for another podcast, yes, the ConsoleMonster podcast number 8 [or 7, part 2] is out now. I’m not too sure if I like it, James seemed to have been on a little Vendetta and left a lot of stuff in that I thought was going to be removed! But, of course I’m only joking [...]

Hello.

August 28, 2007 – 9:54 pm

Hi, my name is Cat and this is my blog. I haven’t blogged in a while and I’m not really too sure why. I guess it’s partially due to me realising just how much more I complained, realising that I don’t have much to talk about and that I didn’t have much time. So what’s [...]

Nationstates

April 12, 2007 – 5:25 pm

A post made by drmike in the wordpress.com support forums made me realise that I haven’t logged into my Nationstates account in a very long time.
