On a whim, I started reading some of Trust Tommy’s archives the other day, to see what was different between, say, November 2008 and the same month in 2010. I’ve come to the conclusion that the difference is that back then, I wrote for myself because my only readers were my family. When you’re writing [...]
This blogpost marks the 1,000 post ever published on this blog since it began in April 2008. Since then it’s grown and evolved, moved out of his parent’s home (off a .blogspot.com domain) and into his own place (trusttommy.com). received 2,650 actual comments and 4,282 spam ones been the basis of a Young Scientist project [...]
I’ve been playing around with different themes on the blog here over the past day or so. I was growing tired of themes in general, or at least the sort I’d been using. Blogs are all about the content that you write; yet so many (including mine up to recently) are so full of irrelivant [...]
Apologies for the break in posts recently — server issues were experienced left, right and yes, even centre too. However, I’m back now so it’s all back to normal. …Or, at least as normal as one can expect ’round these here parts.
We had a minor hiccup yesterday, which resulted in me not being able to access this blog from home. Something about servers being unavailable. I probably upset some internal server elves at some point. Today, this has been rectified, and normal service shall resume in the regular time-slot tomorrow.
Apologies for the drop in programming this afternoon. I tried to update WordPress to 2.9 and next thing I knew, I couldn’t reach my blog. Or Mum’s blog, or indeed John’s (*tumbleweed blows by*) blog. The man himself was asleep when I fubared the server, so I went off and watched the 3rd episode of [...]
I’d like to share with you a couple of invaluable tools that I use in the course of my writings. 1. Jazz Biscuit’s CC Search link Jazz Biscuit is a site that searches Flickr’s (one the biggest image hosting websites out there) CC photos. CC stands for Creative Commons, and refers to photos that the [...]
I was going to start off this post by saying how much I loved it, but that’d be kind of redundant, wouldn’t it? I mean, you’re reading this, aren’t you? If I didn’t then I’ve wasted a lot of my time writing this blog, haven’t I? It would seem like the natural step forward, then, [...]
10,000 tweets 100,000 page loads. I’m planning a get-together in Dublin to celebrate these, more details as they emerge.
Regular readers of this blog will notice that some of the images that I use on the blog are of much higher quality than anything a year-old iPhone’s able to come out with, and of particular scenes that I probably wouldn’t come across in my daily life. The images, marked with a “Photo owned by [...]
