Always give credit where credit is due

A few people spring to mind who this applies to. They know who they are.

Moved domains for the blog

By on May 29, 2011 in Random Rants

I got bored of leenux.org.uk as a domain name. So I’ve moved everything to leecutsco.de – I think it looks cooler – and also leenux was only bought as a joke. I’m a sucker for domain names… I actually own over 20. The annual bill for that is redonkulous (grr @helenmoyes has me addicted to that word now).

I’ve kept my e-mails the same, for now, however – leenux.org.uk has been my primary domain for nearly a decade (10 years this November), so I’ll have to keep it running regardless. This’ll just be the blog for now.

Be careful what you throwaway…

By on May 14, 2011 in Current Affairs, Random Rants

This is why you should always be careful what you throw in the trash. ALWAYS SHRED YOUR STUFF. This guy, and a guy on the other side of the road, systematically working their way up said road scavenging.

Grrr I broke the short URL link

By on April 29, 2011 in Random Rants

No biggy. Was updating the blog this morning and hit Update Framework. Of course, that blats my custom change for doing leepa.co links on the short URL link below each post. I will fix it later.

Browser Power Consumption

By on March 30, 2011 in Mac / OSX, Operating Systems, Random Rants, Web/Tech, Windows 7

Ignoring the IE9 propaganda – just for a second… LOOK CHROME REALLY DOES SUCK. Google really have their work cut out there. As more and more people get laptops, the battery usage of the browser needs to be looked at more closely. Also of interest how Safari fairs on Windows there – someone should do the comparison of browsers on Mac.
