  • 0lly.uk dominates google

    Ive recently been drooling over a new domain name that i kinda really want to buy. Its £50 for one year which i think is a lot of money for something that could end up being another surplus domain.

    The domain name is 0l.ly (with a zero)

    Now if it was ol.ly i would snap it up regardless of cost as it would be perfect. But as the available one is with a zero i have my doubts. Ill mull it over and see if i can find the cash spare sometime soon.

    Anyway…

    I have always wanted olly.co.uk (not with a zero) so i do some digging every now and then to see if it might of been left to expire and whatnot. After a whois check i decided to see if anyone had talked about the domain name before. And look what i was greeted with..

    0lly-olly-domination

    Haha, how cool is that? I was always worried that if i told people my site was “0lly.uk” they would write it wrong and not get here – olly.co.uk doesn’t resolve a website at the mo so if they google it they will find me anyway!

    Good times!

  • Dont believe the hype

    It only seems like a week ago (oh wait, it was) when everyone was darting about sorting things out in time for christmas – and now it is all over. I did have a brill christmas day, from start to finish – but i still think the whle occasion is way over hyped.

    This year has been a bit of a strange one due to the liquidity crisis. Everyone was selling things cheap, sale signs in every single shop window. It meant people who ended up buying last minute got all the bargains, and everyone who bought early ended up paying through the odds.

    I dont buy things for friends, and i only buy things for my close family – and only items that they ask for. I dont see the point in exchanging cheap tat between friends – meeting up for a drink or something is much more of a gift than something picked up on impulse when in tesco.

    Its not that i dont appreciate gifts, i do, but i appreciate spending time with loved ones a whole lot more.

    Anyway, christmas done – birthday next! Then new year!

    Happy Holidays people!

  • DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince – Boom Shake the Room Lyrics

    Tonight Gemma, Bonnie and i have been using a cool website called GrooveShark – its a flash based music streaming website, and you can search for and queue tracks to play.

    The speeds are really good, and it seems to find most tracks no matter what the genre. We queued a load to listen to, and one of them was this beauty.

    Here are the totally tubular lyrics in case you forgot’em!

  • I am no longer the internet

    For more years than i can remember, i have had I AM THE INTERNET as my blog title. Now i wasn’t being big headed or anything – ok so maybe i was, but let me explain why…

    I’ve been using the internet for a modest 12 years or so, and it was something i got into quite fast, and i found that i was quite interested and fairly good at “the internet” – for example i made my first site in dreamweaver when i was 13, not too long after i had started using the net in the first place.

    When i was about 15/16 i had used and abused the internet so much, i became some kind of human / google hybrid and i was able to spout website URLs that would provide you with any product or service you required. You name it, i could tell you a website where you could find it.

    It got to a level where people would regularly ring me and ask me what that website was that we saw that thing on. So the title I AM THE INTERNET was created.

    Many years on, and the internet is what makes up 85% of the work me and Dave do now, and the more i use it – and the tools and applications that you can find on it – the more confused i get! Every time i master something, its updated. Every time i learn how to do something, another way to do it comes out.

    I no longer feel comfortable claiming that i am the internet, when there is so much i dont, and will never, know.

    So, to tie in with my project to get my blog to number 1 in google for the term olly, i have renamed my blog I AM OLLY.

    The end of an era. The start of a new day.
