It appears Mr Scot Smith from RSSxplosion.com is now trying to compete with himself for the stupid cow of the month award. Just after we said that it would be hard to top his stupidity, he proves us wrong with yet another email. This time it’s a receipt that states that we’ve ordered 12,000 […]

Blog World is the first convention I’ve ever been to where I was some kind of Internet superstar. I lost track on the number of time someone came up to me and said, “OGM! You’re John Chow! Can I take a picture with you?” It’s quite humbling really. I didn’t expect this type of attention […]

Nooooooo, we weren’t hacked! Just a little joke to get the message across about how important it is to get your blog backed up. Seems we’re now once again the scum of the earth etc. Bad cows! So anyway, we hope we didn’t cause any permanent trauma to any of our sensitive readers. We’re […]

We didn’t really see the problem as it gets used by everyone for anything here in Dublin. Guess it’s much like the F-word in the states. It doesn’t really mean that much here. Sorry folks.
Yesterday […]
