Murdoch Buys Another Web 2.0 Site
It seems that Rupert Murdoch can’t get enough of Web 2.0. First he bought MySpace. And now, via MySpace, he has bought the photo & video sharing site Photobucket. The site may not be that familiar to many in the UK, but in the US it is more popular than Flickr, which is owned by […]
Download Wordpress with themes and plugins preinstalled
As the resident geek and wordpress expert I have often screamed in frustration at how themes and plugins take so long to select, download and install so decided to do something about it.

I want to try Second life but it won’t let me in
