Im Not Playing Any More

Playstation have finally announced that they are dealing with an external intrusion onto their Playstation Network, three days after they took down the network claiming 'unscheduled maintenance'.  But why keep people guessing for three days?

A recent problem in one of our clients sites highlighted a strange problem indeed - our users kept pumping money into something that was broken faster than they would when it worked...

Cloverfield - a self-proclaimed monster movie filmed with camcorders and from one perspective - is the first film that I've wanted to listen to the directors commentary for years but Matt Reeves is spoiling my day!

Most of the time you get what you pay for.  It's something by now we've all experienced, a disappointing service or a product that just doesn't last or does a half-arsed job.  The same thing isn't always true when it comes to online Video however...

Ever installed K2 and Simple Image Gallery, passed it to a client and then been stumped at the question: How do I change these titles that appear?  Well I was, so I created the SIG Edit component to allow you to edit the Labels file created by Simple Image Gallery and K2!

With the final day nearly complete, and the sun setting over Ipswich's Suffolk Showground, the last coffies are being drunk and the last conversations are going ahead.   I would love to thank the organizers and all those who attended my Video in Joomla talk, so as promised, I've attached the notes and slides.

A weekend spent in Manchester at Sport City rather than spending a weekend cleaning out the kitchen for the impending work to be done didn't go down very well, but the event ran smooth and it wasn't to bad doing my first real bit of camera work, however I do much prefer being on the other end of the radio doing the yelling during filming!

There have been great advances in the social component market over the last year or so.  Old staples such as Community Builder have had more competition with the likes of JomSocial.  All with the goal of quickly turning your Joomla! site into a social hub - have we lost track of an important question: Could we do it in the first place?
