Dear Bloggers,
It started out great. You were there for me when I needed you. You provided me with experiences so memorable and fun… but I’m sorry… this just isn’t going to work… I thought this little list might help you out in your next RSS relationship.
So, some immature kid from Turkey with the inability to speak any type of decent English hacked the CSSremix site. Not sure what is ever gained by doing this. Wow, you managed to poke and expose a security hole. Instead of destroying someone’s hard work why not give them a heads up instead of sticking some absolutely n00bish “hacked by” page, declaring how great you are (not!).
Hopefully the owner of the Remix has been making backups and can resolve this issue with little problem.
Mashable has asked around the blog world, on the alleged 10th birthday of blogging, what are your ten favorite blogs?
I have at the moment 114 feeds that I actively read on in my RSS aggregator (aka bloglines). The ten that I just couldn’t live without are as follows (in no particular order):
I was browsing through some bid requests a few weeks ago and noticed several common threads among postings. Clients want you to work as hard as you can as fast as you can for as cheap as they can get away with. For example, one request asked for TWO sites to be designed and coded and to be powered by CMS backends, but the budget was no more than $450…
I can totally respect budgets, but what about $450 for two complete sites design to code to CMS is fair? That barely covers the cost of the design for both sites, let alone the coding and implementation into a CMS! It certainly isn’t fair to any coder in the USA that would (desperately) take on that job.
A quote from another request:
I’m looking to have this done as inexpensively as possible (duh!)
Yes, I am a huge geek and JUST saw Nintendo and EA are releasing a news Sims line – MySims (thanks StumbleUpon!!).
The trailer:
Slated for a Fall 2007 release. I’m still Wii-less, but I will definitely try to get a hold of a DS version!!
