Clever Spam

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Last week I received the follow comment on one my C64 related blog posts

Akismet has flagged it up as spam, but when I looked it I found the comment was on topic (the C64 being old school and 80s) the user had a gravitar and reasonable looking email address, so I was tempted to flag [...]

Lazy Bloggings

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

As you may have noticed I’ve not done much blogging recently, so to make up for it here is a massively long post (for me). I’ve been on a two week break from work ,as a usually do this time of year, and a few things have happened during this break.
First of all was Conor’s [...]

Something for the weekend

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Have I used this title before? It seems likely, as it is a massive cliche.
Anyway, I’m gonna copy what those proper blogs do, and give you some suggested blog reading material for the weekend (I’m not sure what happen if you read them during the week). Some of these are a little old, but give me [...]

Thanks for your very kind offer, but….

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

This week I got three seperate invites to a website called LadsLads.com, which is a little odd as It’s a  Gay Networking Website and I’m not gay. 
I’m not sure if they are spam, as Google doesn’t bring up other people receiving the same message, but I don’t know any the people who have invited me.
The messages appear [...]

News from the world of me

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Well the last post certainly caught a fair bit of attention, in fact it’s the most popular post I’ve written since the move to Wordpress. I must blog about current events more often (or just blog more often).
I’ve been Working from home for the past few weeks, and it doesn’t look like I’ll be travelling again in [...]

Another new blog design.

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Yes, in case you’ve hadn’t noticed by now I’ve tweaked the design again, and this time I’m happy with the results. 
Here’s a little sneak preview of design for those of you reading the RSS feed. Also when I change the design again this image will also be a nice reminder of how the blog use to look. I’ve [...]

Wordpress 2.7 beta 1

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

I thought I’d give the new beta of Wordpress a try. So far I haven’t noticed a great deal of difference except for the fancy new dashboard screen and the even fancier post editor.
In conculsion; I like it.

It’s Post 500!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

This blog has has passed two very big milestones recently. Firstly the move from ObscureInternet to it’s own domain (c64glen.com) and it’s seventh Birthday, which was on August 8th. Yes, this blog is over seven years old, isn’t that amazing! These two milestones seems to be a great excuse, to me at least, to have a [...]

Stephen Fry on Twitter

Friday, October 10th, 2008

I know he is following everyone who is following him, but I still think this is very cool.
So, why don’t you be like Stephen Fry and follow me on Twitter. Yikes! Did turn this post into an excuse for whoring for more Twitter followers?

The worst block ever.

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

It’s been almost a month, and I’ve been finding it more and more difficult to blog. I guess I’ve just let myself get out of the habit, which in retrospect has been a massive error. Therefore I’m forcing myself to do this update in the hope that more will follow. 
So on to some real news; I’ve [...]
