But, with the current state of the economy as it is, I proposed to myself a challenge: To find respectable tech gifts for $20 or less.

Hi Guys,
Sorry it’s been a little bit quite recently, I escaped the miserable British weather for the hotter climes of Turkey for 2 weeks. The day after my arrival back, I was invaded by family, so have not had time to catch up with by blogging for 3 weeks…
What have I missed anything exciting?
It would appear that things haven’t been as successful as I first thought with the migration to the new site. For some reason WordPress decides to revert to the standard (boring) default theme every-so-often. I have yet to figure out why this is happening. Odd as it was working fine in a [...]

I have to say that my purchase of Mint was the best $30 I have spent!
My webstats are so much easier to read now – and the information that can be gained from the additional Peppers is just facisaniting. For instance – on Tues when I checked, I had some hits from Beirut, Lebanon [...]
