Its with great pride I announce that www.fluffylinkulator.com has gone live.
The team (James, 4 cans of Kick and the cat ) involved on this project took great satisifaction getting this one out the door. (probably cus its a non work site for a change)
The site may be developed at a later date to include more information and I may end up dumping it into MT4 allowing comments and trackbacks hmmm… (It would seem like the way to go)

Yes Yes I know shameful .. use of 2.0 there but as its the second meetup thats going to be happening …
Anyways looks like a fair few of the faces from the last meetup will be attending this one.
I’ll be there from Forbairt Media. It sounds a lot bigger when I put it like that
David Behan will be there http://www.davidbehan.com/
Gavin Dooley .. http://www.gavindoolan.com/
Richard Hearne … http://www.redcardinal.ie
And thats all I can think of at the moment … not too bad so far … I know I’m probably missing a few so you should look at the thread over on IWF or on boards
A big thanks to Richard Hearne for getting the ball rolling on it (once again .. taking the initiative and suggesting the time and place)
Edit: I should say … Kick off is at 8pm in the Harbour Master

OK not that groundbreaking a post I know but its something that slightly annoys me … I’ve about 9000+ emails in my gmail account purely cus I’ve never needed to delete them.
Recently with the amount of mails I’m getting from various forums and renews things I’ve found I’m having to go back a few pages and thought there has to be an easier way and yes there is.
Into your search box put
label:unread in:inbox
This will list your most recent emails. (I can’t really see why gmail doesn’t have a button for this by default)
Now you’ve got two options:
Initially I just dragged it onto my toolbar. (My toolbar is clogging up a bit though)
So go to “settings” -> “Labs” and install the “quick links” feature and save it.
Almost there!!!
Now go to to search box and put in label:unread in:inbox and hit enter
Then on the bottom left (your new quick links feature) click “Add Quick Link” Give it a title “Unread” or something like that … and away you go.
Really does seem like an obvious missing feature in there and I guess it won’t affect the majority of users but damn … it was bugging me no end.

Well I just put together the template for another site there at the weekend and all it was missing was a favicon. Now I’d installed a plugin on my windows machine but I’ve recently moved over to a Mac so I had to go searching again for a plugin to create .ico files. A bit of trial and error on a few different plugins and I came across one from Telegraphics that does the job. Get the Mac CS3 version obviously if you’re running CS3.
Follow the instructions on the dmg (basically copy the plugin into your /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plugins/File Types/ folder
Launch up photoshop … and you’ll now be able to save your file as a .ico and use it on all your websites.
It truely surprises me the amount of sites that don’t go to the bother of creating these and that use the Joomla default one. If you’re not going to use one … at least don’t use the joomla one
