Windows Live Writer

Dec 16th, 2009 | By | Category: Tech and the Net

Finally… Windows live writer has the feature I’ve been waiting for since I started this blog. It only came out last month (this post is actually going to be a test of so fingers crossed it works). It’s a plugin that allows me to add custom fields to a post when I’m publishing it. You [...]



Infinite Gmail addresses

Jan 30th, 2009 | By | Category: Tech and the Net

I came across this neat little trick that allows you to utilize an infinite number of Gmail addresses. Why would you want to do this you may ask? Well, you pretty much have to use your email address to sign up to anything online, and sometimes you might start getting ads and spam for no reason, tracking down who sent it or how your email address got out can be a pain, so you end up just having to bear it.

There is also the matter of labels and filters in Gmail. Sometimes you want to know where the emails are specifically coming from but you can’t be guaranteed that the senders email will never change, as with a few forums I’ve found, their newsletter email can change from time to time making your filters, which look for the senders address, redundant.



Moving from Hotmail to Gmail: Why and How

Jan 21st, 2009 | By | Category: Tech and the Net

Around 9 years ago I was looking for a new mail host to move me away from the fairly basic, ISP supplied, one that I was using (I think it was an oceanfree account?). Plenty of people I knew had hopped onto the Hotmail bandwagon as it was claimed to be faster, offer more storage and have a greater community via MSN Messenger. So I signed up and, compared to my last account, this one was a breath of fresh air. The storage space was amazing for the time, a whole 10MB’s, and the interface was pretty good.



Sonic The Hedgehog

Oct 24th, 2008 | By | Category: Games

In the early 90′s I chose my side on the console divide and went with Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Megadrive. I could of went with Mario, but Sonic seemed newer, faster and more edgy than an overweight, slow, mustached Italian. I’ve never looked back. My first experience with Sonic was Sonic the Hedgehog [...]



Gamers – The last acceptable stereotype

Oct 8th, 2008 | By | Category: Games, Thought

Hi, my nick is Leimrod and I’m a gamer. There I said it. I’ve been wanting to blog about gaming and my love of it for a while now (probably why this blog has gone so long without an update) but I haven’t due to the stereotype that comes along with it. You know, the [...]



Why social networking and Web 2.0 is Awesome!

Jul 7th, 2008 | By | Category: Tech and the Net, Thought

With a capital “A”. Seriously, since Web 2.0 started to really roll out and more and more sites started to adopt its philosophy I’ve noticed a complete paradigm shift in what the Internet means to me. I literally love the internet now whereas maybe 2 years ago I was becoming increasingly disillusioned as to its [...]
