Globe Runner review
The second review for today is also for a SEO Consultant: Globe Runner SEO. From all that I can gather, they are a legitimate company (here is their BBB page – so hard to tell these days 🙁 ), and they also run BabySafe Travel. They also don’t seem to come up in the first…

Softline Local Review
Many say that local online marketing is the “next frontier”. While I have some doubts with regarding this phenomenon (my money is on the ever expanding global economy – even though I’ve got “slapped” a couple of times by companies refusing to deliver to Romania), I’ve looked at softline local. They seem like a company…

You go PHD Comics!
PHD Comics is always great and hilarious (and worth to subscribe to if you are even vaguely related to the academic world – like trough a friend of a friend :-)) but there are those occasions when it is epic, like this one: The media can almost never be trusted to get things right and…

Carving out files with Perl

Splitting hairs^H^H^H^H^H strings with Java
Offtopic: where does ^H come from? (since I too found it only recently) – from the source of all wisdom – Wikipedia :-p Pressing the backspace key on a computer terminal would generate the ASCII code 08, BS or Backspace, which would delete the preceding character. That control code could also be accessed by pressing…

The future of web hosting
I find myself thinking more and more about (a possible) future of the web. While the current system for web hosting works pretty well (and I am the first to say that we shouldn’t make the perfect an enemy of the good), it would be really nice to exploit more of the potential in the…

Best web hosting?
There is a lot of talk out there about which is the “Best Web Hosting” company. With such a highly contentious subject (since being the “best” means more customers – and implicitly more money), there are a lot of “authoritative sources” out there. One authoritative (without quotes!) source would be Netcraft, but then again, their…

Cross-posted from the TwitFeeder blog. You might also want to check out the Options for giving post, which enumerates more organizations you should consider donating to (not related to the Haiti earthquake).
