I've finally had the chance to get a site happening for myself, to show off a few of the developments that I've been involved in over the last 4-5 months. The ... http://dlmac.com/2007/11/business-is-booming With the rain falling and YouTube-a-humming, there is nothing like reliving some memories. This is the first episode of Bargearse, starring Tony Martin, Rob Sitch, Jane Kennedy and Mick Molloy. Mick Molloy incidentally is reportedly filiming a pilot for a new Channel 9 show. These guys are great, and the majority ... http://dlmac.com/2007/04/champagne-comedy I have previously briefly reported on Zazz here previously, but I thought I would check back in after all this time to see how the competition is going in their efforts to catch up. I find these sites as addictive as sugar-coated nicotine chocolate, and by the activity that is ... http://dlmac.com/2007/04/australian-one-item-a-day-sites After neglecting this blog for a while (read 6 months), it became quite a haven for SPAM. A decent pagerank + [tag]SPAM[/tag] filter = [tag]Spammer[/tag] Hard-on territory.... atleast that's what their messages were telling me. Will she really want me more if I get an extra 3 inches? Probably. But ... http://dlmac.com/2007/04/how-good-is-akismet After finally getting around to investigating this error: Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet Site bla When running Google Maps in IE6/7. I had a quick search, and a very helpful site popped up. Pretty simple fix, and I am sure that eventually this would have worked out, but this guy - ... http://dlmac.com/2006/11/google-maps-internet-explorer-error This site has gained a lot of popularity over the last month, but I am hoping it will do even more so. Zazz is a site that sells one product per day. If it sells out, you have to wait until midnight for the next day's product to arrive. There ... http://dlmac.com/2006/08/impulse-buyingat-its-best Great site I found the other night, that uses the Potato Emulation software to convert many old console games into java applets. There are some great titles on here, and the software to convert games into applets is free. Check out Every Video Game, but no lawsuits please when you lose ... http://dlmac.com/2006/07/every-video-game I saw this a few months ago but completely forgot about it. It was linked to from a site that I was recommended by a monk who used to dance with my dog. I can't remember how I originally found this site, but I am sure glad I did. I just ... http://dlmac.com/2006/07/so-simpleso-smart Short article with a guesstimation on how much revenue Digg could make through advertising per month. These are some pretty impressive figures. I got to thinking that this wouldn't be much if they hired an extensive staff, but considering the nature of the site, I doubt there is too much ... http://dlmac.com/2006/06/digg-ad-revenue I am a big fan of addictive games, and this one is no exception. Try to link up the paths so that there is a non-broken path between each colour "node". First few levels are trivial, but get towards the double-figure levels, and the brain starts cranking into action. Though the ... http://dlmac.com/2006/06/addictive-flash-game
