  • Cypress Hill Live @ Boardmasters – WOW!

    One of the things on my “To do before i die” list, was to see Cypress Hill Live. I can now successfully cross that off as i was on the front row when they played in Newquay at the Relentless Boardmasters Festival!

    More vids coming soon – more pictures here!

  • The emo lifestyle – an outsiders point of view

    We visited the NASS festival the other weekend, and we took cameras and stuff to help promote the new XCam’s 🙂 None of us really knew what to expect as none of us had been to a festival before!414390170_e82b32d7b8

    The feedback from the cameras was brilliant, and the overall festival was pretty damm good too – but for me the thing that i found most fascinating was the emo/goth/skater dudes and how similar they all were!

    If you take a typical skater type person, 3/4 lenght trousers, Etnies kicks, full tattoo sleeves, large piercings and a skatebaord under their arm and throw them into an elevator with a load of boring suit wearing people – the emo will stand proud as an individual and as someone whos trying to make a statement using the clothes on their back and the art on their arms.

    Although, you go to something like the nass festival and you see these emo’s in a totally different light. They are all competing against each other in regards who can have the skinnyest jeans, the maddest tattoo’s, the biggest afro’s and the crazyest piercings.

    When they are all together like that, they become exactly the same as 9-5 working stiffs  in suits, or hip-hop loving rudeboys. They are all exactly the same!

    So the next time i hear some emo skateboarder dude say they looks how they look as they wanna be an individual – im going to laugh in their face, and not just at their stupidly tight jeans! 🙂

  • CS-Cart And the Duplicate URL Problem

    It seems that no one at CS-Cart can be fucked to get back to me, even though we have paid (cash money) for their software MANY times.

    Ive recently started doing some more in-depth work for a client, and this involves locking the site down like fort knox so that there can be no discrepancies with the site, by google.

    I noticed an error  (that i have since noticed on random cs-cart sites that i have visited) and it is as follows;

    http://www.domain.name/product-name.html

    Gives the same page as;

    http://www.domain.name/category-name/product-name.html

    Now, correct me if I’m wrong but wont this be seen as a bad thing by those up high? I’d consider myself an intermediate SEO person, and I’m sure that everything i have read has at some point stated that duplicate content is bad.

    I posted in the cs-cart forum, and also in their bug tracker.

    A week later, and the bug tracker thing remains unclaimed/ignored – and this is the best answer the members of the forum can come up with;

    “Login to Google Webmaster Tools and remove the offending URLs?”

    Yeah – cos that’s gonna stop it from happening, isn’t it!

    I get better support with software i have got for free, so receiving this level of support for some software we have PAID for just stinks.

    Im just gonna use Jshop from now on, unless cs-cart get back to me.
