Almost Famous!

Well maybe not famous but Steve Ragan over at Monsters and Critics contacted me last week to chat about the recent events with the Motion Picture Association and has put an article up online about the whole situation. It's a good read which you can find waiting for you over here.

Dugg and Dotted...

Just before I headed out for something nice to eat and a couple of bottles of wine I made a quick check of my emails and was surprised to fin that someone had actually posted a comment on my blog that was awaiting authorisation. This isn't exactly a high traffic site so it's usually spam but I thought I'd check just in case...

New website design

Right, I'm currently in the process of designing and building a website for my good friend Lee's new company. They're a recruitment agency that specialises in heating, ventilation and air conditioning, hence the name.

As you can see it's still very much a work in progress but it looks to be shaping up nicely. I've gone for some warm tones with a subtle background gradient and a good splash of red shamelessly stolen from the logo.

MPAA Update

Well, I must say I'm surprised;to after getting no response to my previous emails to the MPAA about their use of Forest Blog at the tail end of last year I got a result within five hours this time, unless they were just replying to the original email?

MPAA Borrowing code

Fri, 9 Feb 2007 15:45:14 0000

Way back in October last year whilst going through the website referals list for another of my sites I stumbled across this link. That's right, my blogging software is being used by the MPAA (Motion picture Association of America); probably one of the most hated organisations known to the internet. Cool, I thought, until I had a look around and saw that all of the back links to my main site had been removed with nary a mention in the source code!
