Just a little something to brighten your day. If you’ve ever been a fan of Tintin in your life you’ll appreciate “David’s Favourite Captain Haddock Curses.” I’ve been watching Tintin lately with a few of the brothers and have enjoyed Captain Haddock’s light-hearted curses :P So I was Googling some of his curses and found this awesome collection of Haddock’s rants.
Worth a look. A few of my favorites: “Blue blistering bell-bottomed balderdash” and “TROGLODYTES!”
Over the last few months I have increasingly been unable to provide content and updates for it, so I decided suddenly to just list it for sale. In the middle of the sale when the price was going up by $500 at a time there was a little bit of commotion about unrealistic bids, but I think that was just because a lot of people wanted to win it.
Within the last few hours of the auction someone went over the top and I had to ban him from bidding, then he started bidding with another account, so I had to ban him as well and I just decided to sell to one of the trustworthy top bidders.
It was very complicated, but payment is going through Escrow now, I’m confident the sale will be smooth.
$11,500 was the final price paid, but there will be around $500 in fees in total, but I’m still very happy with this price.
I’m now looking forward to working on smallerblogs and this blog, starting with a new design coming soon :) Preview below.
(don’t mind the random AdSense ads :D just a placeholder)
Looking forward to writing more about my experiences in the future, now I have some money to work on other sites :)
Really enjoyed The Dark Knight last night. I’m not sure what else I can say about it right now, I have to see it again :) Two-Face was awesome, and The Joker was awesome. Christopher Nolan sure knows what he’s doing.
I’m a big user of IMDb right, and I just saw that The Dark Knight has made it to number one in the IMDb top 250 list.
This is supposedly what Twitter would look like in the event of a zombie outbreak :)
I was glad to see someone on there that I had actually heard of, Darren from ProBlogger says “New at ProBloggers: How to kick the undead’s ass.”
Considering the zombies will be slow and hopefully not too strong, we should be OK using blunt objects, even axes and bowie knives against them, in case you don’t have a gun.
I guess I should’ve written about this the night it was announced (myself and my brothers were huddled around mIRC in the wwi and diablo3 channels), but I guess it’s better late than never! :)
I’m really looking forward to this game, and it’s going to be good having a new game to play, rather than Diablo II from 2000 … yes, we still play that.
There are some wicked graphics & media over at the Blizzard and Diablo 3 pages.
Ooh yeah! What a way to brighten your day — receiving a pay cheque from the local ad network :)
So this is the first one I’ve received from Tribal Fusion so far, and so far I haven’t had the pleasure of banking an international cheque (Google sends it to my bank account), so I hope that all works out good.

Yep, only 120 odd, but there should be another cheque for a similar amount coming sometime soon. Then another, hopefully.
When you get recognition on other sites or blogs, it’s only good manners to give them some linkage back.
Today, I found that PhotoshopStar was just included in the recent update of Blogpond’s Top 100 Australian Blogs list, which has been around for a fair while now. It made #9 on it’s debut.
PSDTUTS, a similar blog to PhotoshopStar appears to be number one, and Darren Rowse’s Problogger has dropped a few positions to #3.
Definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re Aussie (you may want to recommend your own blog).
Alright folks, it’s time to set a guinness world record. Time to download Firefox 3.0! Being a part of a world record, and using an amazing web browser, what more could you want?
Are there any blog designers around here? If there is, you may be interested in checking out a brand new set of free icons targeted particularly at the blog designers/users.
This is an icon set developed by the awesome Blog Perfume. The download will include icons sized 24 x 24, 32 x 32 and 48 x 48 pixel sizes. It would have been nicer if we could get a little larger in case we want to use them for other things, but this is fine too :)
You should also subscribe to Blog Perfume if you’re interested in WordPress and blog related stuff, because if it’s hot you’ll find it there.
