I have remained a loyal fan ever since and in fact, am  blogging this on Firefox 3.5.5. Happy Birthday Firefox Read Full Story

The two free games from Amazon finally came on the 20th last Tuesday. It was a bit of a hassle - I had to pay for them on the Amazon.co.uk site and they refunded the money back. I just hope they make it clear that two selected games are FREE with the Nintendo Wii Console with Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort and Motion Plus Controller (Wii). You have to click the link 'Special Offers and Product Promotions' to take up the offer of the two free games but it is really easy to miss. I did miss i... Read Full Story

I have now Crossed 2K followers on Twitter but I am tweeting less.
