Today I'm trying something new. For the first time ever (but hopefully establishing a precedent we can return to), Urban Mainframe features a guest writer, Noah Slater. Noah recently attended a conference on "The Future of Web Applications" and, writing ... (continue reading) - Blogging Boredom

I know, I know. It's been a while since I last wrote anything here. There are a few reasons for that, but the one which surprised me the most was the disillusionment I came to feel towards the whole blogging thing. I haven't read any of the blogs I once ... (continue reading) - iPodbits.com

I am delighted to be able to introduce iPodbits, a brand new web-store for iPod accessories. iPodbits went live yesterday evening, following a couple of months of hard work by the design team at Creative Freedom - lead by the tireless Adam Parrish.

The header image is a 1600 x 161 slice of a GNOME wallpaper ... (continue reading) - Categorising Content

I've been extremely busy of late (which is why it's been so quiet around here) writing lots of code for the CMS in order to accommodate a new project we're working on (I'll write more about that when I am able to). Unfortunately, my recent workload has ... (continue reading) - What Makes A Great Weblog?
